Got an KHE Amp & Cab switching. 4 amps and 4 cabinets.

[@hawk6111]

The guitar is all about playability. A guitar that plays well will almost always sound good. Tone starts at the pickup. Your pickups, bridge mass and matrial and scale length and string material are 99% of you guitar tone. Your amplifier head is %70 of your overall sound with the cab accounting for %25 and everything else including overall guitar specs accounting for just %5

This video really showcases the importance’s of Speaker Cabs when it comes to tone. Cabs make a massive difference to your tone, and a lot of people, especially players new to tube amps, don’t realise the importance cabs make on bringing the best sound out of a tube head. Excellent video Ola.

[@tylerobrien2666]

The ENGL cab with the Marshall and Mesa sounded huge. That and the Mesa cab were my favorites.

[@baconfirre]

My own theory is that while yes, 80% of the sound comes from the cabinet I think the cabinet is a filter that you get used to hearing a guitar sound through. I think that's why once you find a cab or impulse you really like anything can sound amazing through it and then every other cab or impulse just sounds wrong in comparison. I theorise that the cabinet you end up having the most real life experience with is the one you get used to and thus keep coming back to it. I think that's why a lot of metal guys love Mesa cab's so much, most of us buy one pretty early on and just get used to it. For me I used and Orange for most of my founding years and everything; to me, just sounds 'right' through and Orange cab or impulse. I'll used an analogy of colour grading and film. The cabinet is like the colour grade that sets the mood of the scene while the amp head is more like the actors in the film. The actors can change their emotions and actions scene to scene, but the colour grading always invokes the same mood where-ever it is used.

[@MrHeshersNeighborhood]

Great analogy.

[@nitromeda]

I think that you are right although I thought that the ear has no memory per se. Thoughts?

[@bobtheatog]

Great theory. For some reason I always gravitate to a Marshal B cab. It was the first cab that caught my ear. And anything I play through it sounds like “my tone” if that makes sense.

I think the ENGL cab gives you the extra punch, and of course the sound in the room would be totally different, but I think my favorite was Marshall + Mesa cab :)

[@christebo7305]

Careful what you playback through. I played this through my excellent car stereo system. Mesa Cabinet was slightly better than Engl cabinet with a bit more headroom. Both cabinets sound good though. Yes Engl amps are good but I prefer the ability to have less compression which is really impossible to dial out of an Engl. I would bet adding compression to the Mesa would surprise people. Too me the Mesa is more versatile. The Engl gets that certain sound without the need of pedals though. I can see where people prefer it. But if you play a multitude of genres, it is hard to beat a Mesa Roadster or Roadking II. The Mesa Badlander is great for modern Metal though.

Suggestion: Mesa Roadster vs Mesa Badlander 🤟

[@lecorsaire2283]

Would be more interesting to see the Road King against the Badlander. The RK has 4 6L6s and 2 EL-34s and you can assign 2 6L6, 4 6L6, 2 EL-34 and 4 6L6+2 EL-34 per channel. So it would be easy to compare it to the Badlanders since they ship with EL-34s. You can throw in EL-34s in the Roadster but you can’t have both types at the same time.

This is an interesting video, and my favourite cabinet was the mesa. But my experience is, that in a band context, with drums and bass beside you, everything can be different. Frequencies that you like, when playing an amp alone, can be the frequencies, that get lost when the bass is playing. And frequencies, that are too agressive, when playing alone, can be the ones that keep your guitar sound from drowning in band context....... Never ending story

Dude, the Engl through the mesa cab was absolutely monstrous

[@lovemetal2467]

ENGL Savage 60 through the Mesa Cab has that punchy Metal Tone with clear and yet saturated gain that I love. I play through a Peavey XXX Head going into a Vintage Handwired 1960A Marshall Cab in the studio, and I love that tone of American combined with British. Perfect Metal Tone in my eyes. Awesome Video Ola! Hell Yeah Man!🤘🏻🤘🏻

Everybody on this peninsula would hate me if I had that set up.

That engl sound so good god damn i really want one. I hate being broke

[@lemac3200]

Same here. That's why I use modelers and IRs. The same sound (in a mix) on a budget + you don't have to drag these backbreaking gear around.

I think the Marshall and the Engl both sound awesome through the Mesa cab. Cool demo. Thanks

Omg the jmc with the mesa cabinet sounds killer

[@KoTerrors]

That Mesa Cabinet is night and day with any of the other cabinets. Didn't matter which amp.

[@madlipzjagd5378]

Mesa Boogie is really the king of cabinets.

Love my KHE amp switcher. One of the single best pieces of gear I've ever bought. Now I just need one with effects loops switching.

[@HeBleedsBlack]

Really cool video and comparisons. Thanks for your efforts! Its hard to choose a flavor, they all have a characteristic I can appreciate.

Tool guitarist Adam Jones was connecting two amplifiers in serial in the 90s. Could you try and demonstrate that once?... I liked the ENGL amplifier together with the Mesa Rectifier cabinet (8:52) the most. \m/

@Blaze Infernus 😥 I am disillusioned right now. Nobody uses an amplifier as a pre-amplifier...
