I've also experimented intensively. What I've found is that your left ball hanging free while playing will give you a certain amount of high end reverb, but having your right ball hanging loose will result in a darker tone. Having both balls vibrating freely sounds like a good idea, but in practice, you'll run into phase issues when they clonk together.

The only time I notice a major difference was from 12:20 when sustaining the last chord - when flipped from cab A to C and then to B there's a noticeable change in tone, more so in the bass - treble sounded close enough to my ears - but in a full mix, with the bass and kick drums blasting away, you'd never know!

Chances are that those bass frequencies are going to be attenuated anyways to make room for the bass and kick in a full mix, so in the end, it won’t even matter.

I gotta say, the B amp had the best tone to my ears. It has a very full tone with each strong having value and not being muddied by the low string or ghosted by the mid and high strings. I like the precise feedback from each note. I liked the test and hope there is more cool ones down the road like this. Good Luck Glenn.

You have definitely helped me stay away from making poor choices as a musician with limited financial flexibility.

Yeah. I thought Bass and drums sounded great! While the Overall guitar sound was meh in the Mix...

For me, on headphones, A sounded a bit "thinner" when compared soloed with B and C. In the full mix, I thought sometimes the guitars sounded thinner but I couldn't point out exactly when the change happened. So, I guess, in the end the only thing that is worth spending time and money on is finding the right speaker!

Wow, I was expecting a bigger difference than that, the differences were almost impercievable. I think the wood of the guitar body only sounds percievably different with microphonic pickups so I wonder if some speakers would just sound the same and others may bring out the tone of the cab wood more? I'd love to see you try this experiment a couple more times with wildly different speakers, maybe a 5 inch and a 15 inch speaker?

For me, when solo'd A stood out a bit while B & C sounded very similar to my ears, but in a full mix I honestly didn't hear a difference. Looking forward to seeing the reveal. Thank you for doing these tests - awesome job as usual!

True but also notice that those in video have microphone up close direct at the speaker driver so you really only get the sound from the speaker / driver itself and not whole sound as if in the room a few feet away ( or longer ) . To hear the real difference you need to listen far from the cabinet and not just a microphone close up to the speaker . After all the cabinets resonate at different frequencies depending of materials . For metal I think it doesnt do so big impact because the signal is already heavily distorted . The form factor or construction type will be of a real difference here . Especially with open compared to closed box and size ect .

Glenn, these are some great videos. Thank you.

Okay so here are my thoughts on this after multiple listens in: I was expecting there to be a more significant difference between the speakers given the densities of the three woods, but I'm very surprised that the differences are a bit more subtle than I thought. One thing that did stand out to me though is the resonant frequencies between the three cabinets. You can hear a whistling frequency around the 500 to 600 hz range for all three cabinets. In the guitars that have been soloed, this is much more obvious. For cabinet A, there is this resonant frequency at around 515 ± 3 hz while for cabinets B and C, the resonant frequency is around 585 ± 10 hz. Now this is just purely speculation on my end, but here's what I think which cab is which. I think Cabinet A is the MDF cabinet. This is because the the whistling frequency is quite prominent which suggests that the material around it is much denser, reflecting more sound energy into cavity of the cabinet and then creating some sort of resonant spot. For cabinets B and C, it is much harder to discern which is which because their differences are a bit subtler, but here are my guesses: Cabinet B is plywood and Cabinet C is particle board. I say this because cabinet B's resonant frequency is slightly more prominent than cabinet C's suggesting that cabinet B is made of a denser material than cabinet C which explains (or at least I think it does) the differences. Personally, I like all three of them, but cabinet C was my favorite because its resonant frequency, though still audible and prominent, is not as much compared to the other two, especially to cabinet A. That's my thoughts on this, can't wait for next week! Fuck you Glenn for all this effort!!

First of all: Thank you very much for your time and effort!! I couldn't distinguish the cabs from another in the full mix. The most most noticeable changes were at the very end of the A/B/C comparison, where the note was held a little longer. But the changes are in the realm of overall random tone variation in one song. My personal conclusion: The wood of the cab does change something, but it doesn't matter.

These are easily your most interesting and inspiring videos. I’ve already shared this to all my recording buddies.

Awesome been waiting for this video Glenn!

First. I appreciate the hard work. I’ve been waiting for this one. I heard different nasal/mid qualities with each cab. B was a bit brighter so I preferred it. Probably more subtle than a speaker difference though. But a noticeable difference nonetheless. Much more of a difference than the guitar wood comparison.

We needed this out there Glenn.

There is a difference, but it not like night and day. To be honest: I only noticed a few cab changes in the full mix by paying attention to the high end. Sometimes the sound got a little bit muddier. However sometimes even the thickness of the pick and the angle how you hold it can make such differences, too.

thanks for all the work you put into this Glenn. Its something that plenty of us would like to test, but most of us don't have the stuff/ time/ ability to do so. :)

This is a super professional video, and any views on it are well deserved. I hope this video blows up Glenn!!!

Thanks for putting in the effort man! I've build a couple of small and odd cabinet my self and found that the (slight) difference in tone usually is not worth the extra expenses on the wood. A surprising candidate is "betonplex" (the stuff usually used for flight-cases). In my experience (as a hobbyist I must add) the size of the opening in the back (if any) and the angle of the front face, make a larger difference. Thanks again for showing the world how a A-B test is actually done and hope the video does well!

Thanks for your huge effort in pursuit of da troof of where the tone comes from. Those cream backs sounded really great at the beginning of this vid. Do you have to know physics in order to make your own cabinet? Your experiments make me wonder why, since everything sounds the same, is gear so damn expensive?

man, I really wish someone made videos like these for other styles of music, with well-thought out experiments controlling all the variables, can't say I've found a lot outside of this channel. Great video! I think I prefer tones C and A, but the differences are subtle between them and I only really heard them in the solo clips. Tone B was the most different and my least favourite, but I'm not a metalhead, so take that with a grain of salt.

Hey i really dig that disclaimer in the beginning. Sharing this with other musicans/producers in the future with that big "HEY THIS IS FOR METAL" really clears things up when your bass players watches the video

From the most favorite to the least favorite: B, C, A. Cabinet B sounds the fullest. C is very close to B, up to a point that the difference might be negligible. A sounds thinner, but in the context of a mix it might actually help cut through. The differences from A to B aren't that big and I bet you could easily compensate by using an eq. I'm thinking that the wood of the cabinet might actually make a bigger difference if I'm listening to the cabinet directly with my own ears, but when using a mic, as it is so close to the speaker, the tone differences might be less pronounced. Glenn, could you please address this matter in the next video? Cheers.

Cheers from Finland!

I only really heard a difference when soloed, especially between B and C rhythm playing, C had a more "nasal" quality to my ear. In a full mix i couldn't hear the difference, so the overall effect isn't that strong. Maybe listening back i might hear something different, but only if i know what to look for, so I'd say its negligible

He knew wood, including particle board, shuttering board, mdf, chipboard etc etc and every soft and hardwood on the planet. He used marine grade plywood for speaker baffles and any old thing for the rest of the cabinet.

In the full mix it was really subtle most of the time, there were about 3 times where I thought I heard a difference and one where I was 100% sure (10:55) With the guitars only, I can say that personally C was my favorite, followed by B and then A (being worst by a fairly large margin).

I could definitely hear a difference. The difference between cab A and cab C was slight, but noticeable. Cab B sounded a bit warmer and had a bigger low end. But it sounded “looser” in the low end. Sounded really good, but maybe not tight enough for modern metal. It seemed to muddy the low end a bit. To me, cab C would be my preference. A bit deeper on the low end than cab A but still tight.

I'm with both of these comments, and add there shouldn't be any difference anyway unless you're using a ported cab with an extra mic to pick up that resonance. I shall also note many cabs in the '70s - that sought after VINTAGE tone (hmmmm) - were made of particle board, the reason they took a wheel cart and a horse to move. Also some of the home stereo 12's were mounted in solid pine with a front port, something I'd like to play with for a guitar amp.

Wow, thanks for a great content!

To me, A and C were very similar, whereas B was slightly brighter than the other two. But, I think the difference is still extremely negligible, and any of the options would be more than fine in the mix.

I feel like A gets lost in the mix... So I'm assuming MDF one. The other two sounds great, so I'll say B is Plywood and C is particle with plywood baffle.

Dude this is bad ass thank you so much 🤟🤟🤟

Hey Glenn! Thank you for the time and effort you put into to this experiment. In the mix I could not hear a difference at all. But when you soloed the guitars I was surprised to hear that there were subtle differences. For my ears, it was more notable for Cab A. Between Cab B and C, it was such a minor difference but Cab C sounded like it had more high end than Cab B.

First off, thank you Glenn. I know it’s took a ton of work and the views won’t reflect that. I’ll post on that in a min. As for the results, I have to say I actually didn’t care for the tones (which is unusual here). However, cabinet A sounded the most unique but not in a pleasing way (thinner?). I couldn’t hear changes in the lead tone nor anywhere in the mix. Only during Isolated guitar was I able to hear any changes. However, none were very significant and again, in the mix I had no clue. Thanks again!

Couldn't hear a difference on my end. I've always been fascinated with these types of experiments and appreciate all the work you put in and share with us.

Appreciate ya Glenn .

Glenn mate, this is killer. At the point that someone wants to argue with a test that is this evidence based, methodical and empirical, it’s on the peanut gallery to prove you wrong, not just piss their opinion into a KZread comment. As Chris Hitchens said “what can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” Rock on brother.

You were Right again! I heard no measurable diffference with my ears!

Amazing work Glenn! You definitely deserve more recognition for all your hard work. Comment for the algorithm, appease the KZread gods!

In the full mix I didn’t hear any noticeable changes. Thanks Glenn! No more wasting money on expensive cabs for me!

Well glen, I watched this. Happy to help your viewership Also, after watching the video, Cabs B and C were very similar to me while A sounded thinner in the midrange. C had the most grind up top and B was pretty even across. Both B and C were better to me, but I couldn't find any differences in a mix.

I've got the EVH speaker. Good to see how well it sounds in the mix etc.

great video.

Thumbs from me just purely for the effort you put in the to making this. I couldn't really tell there was a difference. If you would have said that it was really the same cab in all clips I would have believed you. I guess the next video should be does cab size make a difference. Good shit Glenn.
