Which mix did you prefer? And why did you like it?
Alnico consistently rules the cleans but just doesn’t sound/respond right when dirty
I really liked the M + Neo actually, it sounded the most balanced to me. The H + M sounded thick and congested, and the H + Alnico had a weird scoop and a fizz I didn’t care for.
I have the H and alnico combo in a 2, 1×12 format and the alnico in a studio pro and the H in a fat baby, using a Mesa Boogie Cali Tweed 4×40 amp head. I play mostly clean R&B, jazzy kind of stuff, so I like the fat sweet sound (to my ears) of this combination.
I put an Alnico and M in my DeVille 212, largely based on some of your previous videos. I would have gone with two Alincos but space issues with the 212 combo don't allow for that.
M/neo combo is the most versatile. M/H combo sounds most pleasant on its own but in a band with a second guitarist and a keyboard player it didn't work for me.
I'd have liked to hear the M & H vs. the M & Alnico.
I preferred the M + H, but the M + Neo unexpectedly surprised me in a very positive way, I feel it's perhaps slightly hollower.
I didn't like the H + Alnico.
Great video. Surprised how much I like the H and Alnico dirty and for those vocal lead lines. They all sound really good though.
On that final heavy track the H and M mix was the winner for me. The sound had a weight and body that was lacking with the Neo (sounded too fizzy to my ears) and slightly better clarity than the Alnico. For the clean track though, I thought the Alnico had a touch more warmth and chime.
I like the classic M and H combo, but I can't help but wonder about the M and alnico together because their response curves are sort of complimentary where the M has this midrange bite that comes out from the high end roll-off being so low in frequency, coupled with the 1kHz scoop in the alnico bringing out its beautiful top end. Surprised to enjoy the top end so much on the M and neo combo, although the midrange was weird on that one.
Liked the M/Neo combo the best!!
Still haven’t figured out the cab in the intro!???? M and H for me. Vertical 2×12 with M on top. ????????
Another great video! That H and M together is pretty magical to my ears! Plenty of chunk but not dull. ????????
