Diezel VH4 (straight in) vs (boosted) Lenz Octane modded Marshall 2203 - Metal

[Simon Dorn]

Solo'ed Guitar Tracks are double tracked and raw. Guitars and Bass are raw in the Mix, but with 2 Mastering Plug-Ins on the Sum.
I made my choice.

you need to run them at the same time and there you have your stereo rig!
The modded and boosted JCM800 is too gainy for me in this clip, but the VH4 seems too dry and sterile after that.
Lenz for me, if you run it with less Gain

I also have a clip with a bit less gain of the Lenz.

So what was your choice between the two? Did you have to work hard to get pinched harmonics with this VH4 over your other one that you didn't like?

For your type of metal the VH-4 seems to work well for being brutal.....The Lenz has a little bit more give to it like a Recto.
