NCD...sorta?

Supposedly, Mesa V30s from 2002-2004 are the best for metal. So I randomly found a Mesa traditional cab at GC from 2004. Swapped the speakers into my Mesa OS cab. I've had this for about a month, but haven't really messed with recording. The V30s and Redbacks I had in there before went into the Traditional cab, and then over to my drummers place lol.

These speakers sound pretty different from the other V30s I have. They're more relaxed in the mids and highs. Not nearly as aggressive feeling as the others. They seem a bit more scooped, and less hard in the midrange. Probably partially from being 21-22 years old. Anyway...here is a clip.

So this is the EVH 100S through the OS cab, V30 mic'd with a 57. Strat, but I have a Hapas Leviathan pickup in it right now instead of the Black Winter.

Another one with the LEF. This one has a Hapas Behemoth pickup.

Are these the same clips you sent me earlier? They sound better now, more even without the crazy mids.... did you eq them?
Anyway, I like them a lot. Perfect for the style.

No, switches the mic to a 57 instead of that beyerdynamic.
