I just loaded a 4x12 with a pair each of Wizards and Cannabis Rexes, as a replacement for a single-V30 cab. I love how it sounds in the room, and can't wait to figure out how to record it.

Celestion G12M-65 is my weapon of choice. I also hate the G12T-75. In the beginning of this video I kind of liked the Omega but it started to remind me of a G12T a little bit. Have you tried modding a 57 by taking the transformer out. The 3.7kz sizzle is gone and you can actually mic from the center of the cone again.
This channel is criminally underrated. Creamof the crop brutal tones. You bring the heavy!

Yes to the DynaMount vid!
+1 for a video on the DynaMount! I've had my eye on it for a while and I'd love to see a video showcasing all of its features and maybe some tips and tricks you've learned with it!
Providing killer alternatives to the V30, integrating amp sims, looking into new distortion/overdrive tones, highlighting amps that aren't necessarily well known... Is there anyone else doing as much as Kohle when it comes to pushing the limits of the modern metal tone? We honestly owe this man a debt.

Awesome that you're promoting mic'ing up real speakers ! The quest for any band should be to find their own unique sound to stand out from the masses ! Many metalheads have sadly turned very conservative in their choices of gear. You're def kicking them in their butts to help them experiment (y) :)

Awesome Video! I I just recently started watching your channel and I’m hooked! Thanks for taking the time 👊🏻
I think your channel is one of the most informative and clear to understand channels. I'm still waiting for the Eminence DV 77 to be released. Great way to explain how to set up 2 different mic's, Thank you !

I could watch this channel every day…oh, wait, I do watch this channel everyday. Love it!
Man, that Lewitt sounds GREAT! It's almost like a 57 with a "finished, mixed" sound. Also, JEEEEZZZUUSSS that Omega chunks! We got a lot of new players on the speaker block, between the DV-77, Jensen Tornado Stealth 65, and the Eminence Swamp Thang, the good ol' Vintage 30 might be FINALLY getting some competition! Thanks for the content as always!
hell yeah! love your channel. thanks for keeping it heavy!

Even though the video wasn't focused on that, I really love the sm57 + lewit blend on the dv77. Super brutal. Free IR in the next beer with Kohle session please 😊
Hell yes! Both speakers sounds awesome in their own right! 🤘🤘 Happy to see more diversity in the world of guitar speakers for metal! Recently I replaced the Vintage 30's in my Hughes& Kettner 2x12 (great cabinet) with a Neo Creamback and the new Neo V-type! Great combination and saves quite some weight too! 👌👌 Keep up the good work! 🤘🤘🤘
The phase flipping on purpose to hear where it is essentially dissonant then bringing it back is genius.
I get more excited for your video notifications than any other 😅. I just got the Lewitt mtp 440 recently and it's a great mic!
Great combination for both speakers...especially the very genius fase trick! And the DynaMount is a game changer!

Great video! Can you make a video talking about phase cancellation and how we take advantage of this?
I love your vids cause it feels like I’m hanging out with you, my favorite German metal friend 🙌🤘🤝🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

I wasn't happy with the guitar sound I was getting. Bought another cab with different speakers used a Sennheiser e935 close mic'ed and a SM58 far mic'ed. After messing around with placement, I finally got what I was looking for. BROOOTAL!!!
That Lewitt 440 has become my favorite mic for guitar, by far.
Good video, great tips on mixing different mics! Still no Hesu Demon speaker?
Nachdem ich das Video gesehen habe, habe ich mir das Lewitt 440 gekauft. Ich wollte ein gut funktionierendes Mikrofon was ich als Alternative zum SM57 nutzen kann. Super Ding! Klasse Empfehlung!
Please do an IR pack for this speaker like you did for the DV-77. The IR's in that pack are my go to regardless of what amp model I am using in my Axe-Fx III. It would be nice to have even more options.

Awesome! Pleeeaaase upload the IRs of the two setups and a pair of your ears:)

Yes on the dynamount video plz Holy shit, flip the phase. I owe u for that one!
Holy cow. I need to give that plugin another look 😮
A little bit backwards for those of us using plugins because we can't crank an amp, lol! I very much agree with the open bity sound you go for so PLEASE make the VM1265 IR, would be awesome. And yes, would be cool to see a video on the robo-mic-arm.

I can't believe how good even the center position sounds. Every time I try miking up a V30, or any other speaker, with an SM57 at the center, it sounds like there's almost nothing but fizz, the kind of fizz that wants to tear your head off.
sound great...love my DV 77 (autographed).
Yep.. my dv77 is coming by the end of may. Maybe I’ll get some jensen by this time. This one sounds pretty good too. And thanks for the mic blending-phase-splitting trick!!

Hey brother awesome video as always! I don’t know if you did this in another video, but I was wondering what do you use to delay the signal, when you flip the phase?? Are you just using a delay plug-in and starting from zero and adding a millisecond at a time? I’ve never done that and clearly it works, since you are the fucking man when it comes to brutal guitar tone, in my opinion!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

I saw you using the dyna mount in another video, but if you have the time go do a video about it. Also I am very surprised what really good possibilities we have with using Plugins as Amps or heads or preamps and then going in a power Amp and speakers. I used a Behringer V-Amp as (like) a preamp and going in a tube power Amp and 1 or 2 90ies Laney 4x12. Amazing results, with 57 but even more amazing with both cabs miked with 2 low budget ribbon 8 mikes. It's at least 50% about just doing and trying out and not following rules. 🤘😈 Cheers und danke!
awesome video man!
Kristian, I love your riffing style! Do you have any music published? I'd love to listen to it.
Always love your videos mate. I have a couple of questions if I may.... 1)what tuning are you using on that baritone of yours? 2) what strings are you using? Thanks Kohle, Brett
Maaan!!! Just in time, can’t get rid of the sissle (is well written?) from the guitar in a mix and also from other freqs that are giving me hard time. Some times eq seems to be not enough, I’m going to follow each step of this video! Thank you!!

The Omega plugin from Neural DSP has that speaker mic'ed to the death.
Both speakers sound great. In my ears the DV77 sounded a bit more even through the frequency spectrum. The Omega had more of a character. So it comes down to taste and/or purpose which speaker fits better. Would love to have both as IRs since I cannot have as many cabs as Kohle. And I would like to see a video of the mic-robot, too. Talking about mics... I got some nice guitar amp recordings using a Beyerdynamic TG V96 stage vocal mic I once won.

I have an Omega cab. They're SO good. Really. Just really awesome cabs. I use 112 cabs, so I wish their speaker design handled more watts. BUT, I think the Emi V128 will work at least similarly in my next cab.
