The fact that one cab is straight and the other is slanted kind of destroys the point of the experiment. You're not comparing like for like. The cab's internal volume, and just as important, the internal phasing of the speakers in slant vs straight cabs means they'll sound very different from each other even with the same speakers. Even if you took the same 4 speakers and swapped them between the straight and slant cab, they'd sound very different, even close mic'd.
@colourwavestudios2 жыл бұрын
I totally agree. The speakers themselves sounds pretty different when swapping them in different cabs. Internal phasing in the OS slant cabs sounds better with any speaker every time to my ears. The straight OS is boomier and not as tight with any of the speakers I have tested.

That is a hard question to answer. I think of it as a swiss army knife. It can do a little of everything.

Considering I had a KSR Gemini and a Mark V a couple months before this amp, I would say it is definitely darker and smoother than the KSR. You can definitely get it bright, but settings at noon with no bright switch sounds really even. You aren’t stuck with bright. It does get chewy but nothing really gets that dual rec tone. Sonny lives on the Green channel. I’ve been using it a lot more too. You can really get about any tone out of this amp. It is still in the studio as the main go to amp. Ordered a matching cab for it too although nothing beats the straight Mesa standard 4x12. The direct out is fantastic too. It doesn’t do the Mesa vibe, but yeah the red channel gets close.

Yeah, the slants almost always have tighter low end and more pronounced midrange than the straight cabs, whether they're the Standard or Traditional models. The straight cabs usually have more thump and are more directional. They were designed to be used together as a full stack, so one makes up for the other with the frequencies that they individually lack. They're both great cabs.

Definitely more harmonics and saturation than the Archon. The dual rec has a lot of harmonics but is not as smooth across the tonal spectrum. The Revv has modern features that make it really valuable in the studio. It is also pretty versatile. I had a KSR Gemini previously and prefer the Gemini as it 's high end is smoother. I will do some reamps for the next video using the Roadster and the Revv to compare an old (UK 280w) vs. new Mesa OS. I would say the down side to the Revv is it doesn't have a ton of "character" - it just sounds really good. It is also really easy to dial in a good tone on the Revv. It sits in the mixes I have done so far really well with minimal effort.

How do u compare the rev to your Mesa or prs?
Definitely more harmonics and saturation than the Archon. The dual rec has a lot of harmonics but is not as smooth across the tonal spectrum. The Revv has modern features that make it really valuable in the studio. It is also pretty versatile. I had a KSR Gemini previously and prefer the Gemini as it 's high end is smoother. I will do some reamps for the next video using the Roadster and the Revv to compare an old (UK 280w) vs. new Mesa OS. I would say the down side to the Revv is it doesn't have a ton of "character" - it just sounds really good. It is also really easy to dial in a good tone on the Revv. It sits in the mixes I have done so far really well with minimal effort.
@@colourwavestudios interesting...I find the PRS very harmonically rich and full, smooth and easy to play. Can't really ever afford a KSR unless I find one used or a used Revv 100R. I find the Engl Savage MkII pretty amazing in comparison to these. Thanks!
🤘🏽REVV Rules 🤘🏽
Great video !! Glad I got my 2 !! Luckily got one built in 10-20 and one by fluke chance 1-21. Was wondering why they were not on the 2021 website.
We are hoping it is because the Tremonti 100 is coming soon. The two amps may overlap too much.
@@colourwavestudios they could improve on the Archon and make a MT 120 as well .
Vraiment bien.
Merci Julien!
I’ve had this amp since 2014. I’ve been so in love with it. It’s nice seeing videos on it. I’m also waiting for the 100 Tremonti!
It is a totally underrated amp. We are excited for the Tremonti too.
Did you have any issues with the loop ? I read that many owners had to deal with the hiss and noise that the effects loop generated
New Beer each Ep would be awesome
Great idea Lucas!
