Omega Granophyre vs Obsidian
In my opinion, these are two of the best high gain amps of all time. Yes, subjective I know. And there are a lot of great high gain amps out there. I've been lucky enough to own and play many of them, but I have to say these are two of my favourites and definitely make the cut for some of the best high gain amps of all time!

Yes! It's about time! Been really curious for someone to finally do a demo of these amps. Surprised it hasn't happened until now!

Ya I was a bit surprised too. I quickly did a search before uploading this video and didn't find any shootouts of these two amps
Awesome video! I've ordered the Granophyre V1.5, they've apparently done several updates/upgrades to it and should have it in a couple of months.
First off thanks for the video(cool riffing). The Granophyre is on my bucket list(until the next new shiny object appears). It's amazing how much different one amp can sound, from one demo to another.

Ya all these KZread demos, mine included, need to be taken with a grain of salt. There are so many variables (style of playing, pickups, tuning, guitar, cab/speakers, mics, etc) that will affect how an amp sounds. Thanks for watching!
Granophyre is the winner for me

I go back and forth tbh. Depends on my mood haha. But really it sorta also depends on the guitar and pickups. The Obsidian is a bit more consistent but the Grano in my experience has been more varied when I swap guitars.
Finally! I've been waiting for someone to do this shootout!

Haha ya that’s true. Some of them that I know that have them I figured would have done a video by now. Maybe they will soon. I’m interested to see how others approach them.
Well done Scott.

whats it sound like overdriven pushed?
I own a grano but have played the obsidian a few times. The obsidian is a slight bit bottom heavy over the grano IMO. Mike builds incredible amplifiers.

Over truck speakers you can hear the bottom end difference really well
What speakers are in that cab? Both of them sound wayyyy more buzzy than I know them to sound

I preferred the obsidian overall. It seemed more balanced sounding imo. granophyre felt thicker and middier/fizzier from the clips

It's interesting how much the KZread compression affects the tone once these videos get uploaded. The Granophyre in the room and in my Pro Tools session when I was editing the clips isn't as fizzy. As I've said with previous videos YT demos are to be taken with a grain of salt! Thanks for watching!
Obsidian sounds like it would fill the room more. How’s its clean? Fender chime or Mesa muscle?
@ScottBynoe

They both fill the room well. The obsidian cleans are really good. Not sure what I’d compare to. Definitely better than any Mesa clean I’ve experienced.
I liked Granophyre more. Obsidian mids sound strange to me, Remind some Mesa Mark
I Like Granophyre more 🤘
The Granophyre has more growl
Get a EVH with a 10 band eq

Thanks for the content but i think an in-depth comparison would be much better. Use an IR, boosts and aswell as desired settings and flat eqs, a tone match of either desired amp. Something is off with the audio in this clip. The tones aren’t that good imo, and we know these are monsters 🤷♂️
