Same, the mexi strat had my favorite sound

in my hey-day of playing guitar back in 2014-2017 (Sadly I rarely play due to location noise complaints and lack of free time and motivation) My main rig was an LTD EC1000 (£850) and Peavey Vypyr 100W (£200). The sound was honestly fantastic, with the built in effects and the pedal accessory you could do a lot with it, I was able to easily gig in local bars and clubs with my aspiring band back in college. If there's one thing I learned over the years, price doesn't make you sound better only different. It's practice and hard work to get the sounds you want, a cheap beginner amp will do just fine at home, and an intermediate one will easily cover small local venues or practice rooms with a group. You never need to break the bank when you want to upgrade your sound through equipment try everything, Try guitars for tone and comfortability, style always comes last. Amps are trial and error, don't judge by brand you might be in a death metal band and find out that some old marshal amp from 2002 has the perfect mix of highs and lows for you.

I Rather get the 1000$ budget because the cheap one sounds a bit low and less distorted and the 1000$ seems decent and enough if you wanna play like Jared

Timmy Time he probably changed around the soundtracks, the first one sounds like the expensive tone, second is the actual tone of the fender rig, third sounds like the 170 and the last sound like the victory Chapman rig

I honestly really liked the raw tone of the Squire/Ibanez combo more than the others, for this riff at least. It just sounded punchy and not cleaned up, which is sometimes better for certain types of metal. I’m sure it sounds different when you’re not hearing it from a mic, but when in this video it sounded great imo.

I would love a remake of this video with your current sound and video quality

Mostly went as expected, cheap sound is workable but not great and then it moves up as you get more expensive, except for one exception. I really did not like the sound of the Ghost Fret and the Kraken. I don't know if it's something to do with the tone that a Kraken can produce or whether Jared did something different with the settings but it sounded hollow and just bad. That's the sound I'd expect out of my semi-broken Fender Mustang digital amp, not a $1500 valve amp.

To get the right tone from a mexi strat (I know I own one as my primary guitar) you need to use 10-gauge strings to really make the guitar pop and stand out. Otherwise, swapping out for a few dimarzios is never a bad plan. :P

So, my only guitar has overall cost maybe 1500 USD. Gibson SG Tribute, Seymour Duncan Black Winters, Emerson Prewired Kit, Schaller Top-Locking tuners. My amp cost about 70 dollars. Orange Micro Crush. I like my sound quite a bit. I am excited to maybe get a better amp sometime, but for now it's actually pretty sick. My old Squier Affinity Strat (200 dollars maybe?) served me well for years though and sounded good too.

Try it , could not even hear a difference between the last two most expensive and thought those two sounded more like the cheapest set up with the Squire lol ha ha ha ha 😂😅👏 it's true try it !

I love the sound of the squier's "grit" in the video.

Oddly, I thought the fender setup for $1,000 by far had the best sound for the song. If you'd asked me to guess before hearing any of them which I though was going to be the worst sounding guitars for metal, I'd have picked the squire and then the strat. In my opinion, the absolute worst sounding rig was the Chapman Explorer through the Victory amp. Horribly thin sounding! However, very hard to tell since even the squire might have sounded better through one of the other amps. I'd have to agree with tenplex that you should have played every guitar through every amp to get an accurate assessment. While it was a nice concept, the way you went about the comparison was sort of like trying to find out which car is faster, the Honda Civic on a Nascar track, or a Corvette on an icy road. Just not the best way to get a straight up comparison. Just my opinion, but the video was still very much appreciated.

The issue is that the cheap one was super dark, so it didn't have a lot of high-end issues you ran into like with the 2 options after that... Just EQing all the sting-y frequencies out of the middle 2 would've done A LOT. Not to mention.. you still recorded all of this with a Shure sm7B and good mix... The expensive one wins BY FAR, but it's not a very fair comparison.

The setup is for a metal sound not old hi-mids blues tone. The ibanez practice amp sounded more like a cheap copy of a simulated plexi superlead. The mustang gt100 captures the tone of a 1980s or early 90s thrash metal sound, which is more heavy bright sound. Not to mention it is almost like a cloned of a vintage thrash/death metal sound. You can distinguish it clearly with it's low mids and high freq range. But honestly, I'm disappointed with the victory's tone. But I believe the revv is suited for modern metal setup, somehow.

close micing helps us all ignore very real differences in actual sound. You'd notice more difference in comparison done on a room mic with nearly identical moderately loud volume similar to live or recording setups. That said different setups will pass in different circumstances. I can't expect the cheapest to hold up next to any kind of drumming or band situation because the speaker is like 5 inches and the amp is like 9.024369 watts lol. But I can overpower any drummer with the last one, possssibly the last two. Those things matter. Long story short context is king and it is possible a teeny weeny setup can sound comparable to a much more powerful and pricey one if the recording setup is done well.
