I Love this Video: Kyle Bull's 20 Amps, Same Cab

[311boogieman]

I think the biggest thing is that when you close mic, and dial in the amps, you are going to have a very similar tone. The in the room sound may sound kind of bad to guys that like close micd...but it does give you a little better idea of the way an amp behaves.

The way that an amp interacts with you as you play it at volume is a very big part of the experience that clips closemicd or in the room just won't show you. And that is part of what makes an amp special for a gear nerd, vs someone that just records or gigz

I completely agree and personally went straight to the In Room section for that reason. And even then, the differences were not much of a deal breaker. I didn't hear Kyle explain how he dialed all the amps in. The Recto's to me sounded best but that's my brain/bias. Marks are amazing amps but recorded tones on Youtube never do much for me. I used to follow Kyle a lot back in the day but lately, it has been very difficult.

I will say this: As much as I got tired of hearing the same riff(s) over and over again - it takes a lot of experience and practice (and probably re-do's) to do that over and over again in a demo like he did.

Bogner Ecstasy EL34 and the Revv sounded good to me. I will say I tried the DV77s years ago and didn't care for them at all. At the time I was playing Splawn, and had a Splawn 4x12, and just preferred the Governors over other eminence speakers. The smallblocks too were not my cup of tea at all. I have since gone to 8ohm greenbacks, which I haven't moved on from since.

Most of these don't sound super different, all with a boost and going through the same cab. There were a few that I didn't like, like the recto and the Omega. But for the most part...the 5150s, Fireball sound good and aren't that different sounding here. Having owned all of those, I know they are much more different than this video lets on. The Mark IV was probably my favorite here, which is no surprise. I liked the JCM, Splawn, and Friedman...all kinda similar here. The Uber probably a close second for me in this video. Overall, kinda cool video. This is a hard thing to put together.

He also made a comment in one of his videos describing a tone as “your racist uncle” tone. So like, he’s saying Uncle Ted is a racist. I realize that won’t bother many folks, but it bothers me.

Obvious libtard and that alone is enough to disregard everything he says.

From now on, I will think of him as "retarded nephew Kyle"
