Kyle Bulls demos of amps all sound quite different even though he's almost always using v30s and a 57. Johan Segeborn is almost always using old greenbacks, and you can absolutely hear the differences in his videos.

Disagree on both of these, much like Reza (and almost every demo'er out there) they all dial in things similarly to their liking.

Kyle always has anemic thrash tones lacking in low end. Johan always has super bright vintage tones. The videos vary a bit because the gear changes but these people's preferences are still very obviously there.

Half of them re-use the same IRs they like over and over, and the ones that are micing probably find the sweet spot on their cab and leave it there for most videos.

For the amount of variables that go into a guitar mix alone it's not realistic for them all to change drastically between videos. Not to mention just the personal preferences people will have when it comes to musical style.

I think they vary a lot more than rezas demos, and I don't think I'm alone in that opinion

I been doing that after I got my 1st Wizard amp.
Other amps run higher but depends on what 4x12 cab flavor the tone. (I have 7 cabs to choose from)

I have been doing it to.overcome the tonesuck from my gate. But straight in, it is fucking glorious

Luckily for me, I've heard skeleton keys before, so I assume this is a good sounding amp, but I would never buy one if this was the only demo I heard

Literally every demo sounds the exact same - anodyne, and slightly out of phase

Just relistened to this with studio headphones and it sounds fucking massive. Gotta stop checking these out on my phone.

It sounded great on my TV but a lot better on proper headphones/monitors. It's probably a bit brighter than I'd dial in but I think the tones he dials in would work pretty well in a mix. I don't record or play live so my opinion is pretty useless here lol

That makes WAY more sense - the alnico has got to be it.

I have an Alnico Cream. I don't use it, but it's a nice speaker overall imo. Actually pretty smooth and more dark leaning than bright to me. Nothing like what I hear in Reza's vids. My guess it's just something about Reza's mic'ing/recording execution giving him that harsher sound
