When researching some of my favorite guitarists, they almost all use Marshall stacks...I guess my ear is drawn toward that sound.
No, I didn't reamp... I guess that would have made life a little easier though! Each one was played individually - kind of got carried away playing through each amp during the process and having fun with it along the way.I think the tones you posted are in the order that I like best, except the last one. They're all fine, but the last clip (Magnatone) was kinda muddy IMO, even when you switched to the bridge p'up...Marshall & Orange were tops for me, but the Vox clips surprisingly good too...Good job dude!!!
I'm guessing you recorded a di, then re-amped these right???
Well at least you got that going for ya.
I'll tell you though, if you want the real, classic Marshall sound, it comes from huge volume. There aint no shortcuts.
That was more for their live sound. When recording a lot of them used smaller amps. At least according to the internet! haha

Don't believe everything you read. But some of it might be true. I'm not gonna get into the whole "small amp for recording" myth because it causes butthurt, but you do whatever you gotta do.
Yeah, I didn't really believe it and just went with what sounded best to me and fit my apartment needs. I'm just glad to have a nice amp that will beat the sims and be nice for practicing on. If it does those two things I'll be happy.
Thanks for the help everyone. That Marshall is nice...I might buy that down the road.
+1 for the Creamback... I tried both and even without a broken-in speaker the Creamback model blew the other away. It's no Vintage 30 like the Orange has but it's got a good sound of its own.If you decide on that DSL40, try to find one with the Creamback speaker. It's a huge upgrade over the crapola 70/80 that usually comes with it.

I tested a bunch out and wound up buying a Fender Princeton Brown Face at a good price.
Cool Nola. Let's hear it.
A few more, just for shits and giggles.
Fender Vaporizer 12watt 2x10" combo that I got on the cheap a little over a week ago. Gotta love young metalheads that buy an amp just because it has tubes in it.

And last, but not least, the '77/'78 Fender silverface champ. This one was tough to mic up; took me about 20 minutes to mic it up - that little speaker is touchy and it's hard to get a recorded tone that's not overly bassy. I changed up the riff for this one just because the percussiveness of the other riff doesn't really play well with this amp. Only mod to the champ was a speaker change before I got it. Story I was given is that the original speaker had blown so it was replaced with another vintage speaker from the 60's that fit the spec.
