Soldano SLO 100 vs Lenz Octane modded 2203 - Death Metal - Blindtest

Love how heavy & aggressive A is but B is much clearer & I think it would cut better in a mix.. Are these raw or did you process the signals at all?
 
First I listened on my phone. Then my laptop. Then thru Yamaha HS8s.
Difference is negligible.
Honestly, no one will hear a difference between those 2 clips in a normal listening situation.
Being persnickety, maybe less mids and more high end energy on A, maybe a bit smoother/thicker on B.
The difference is so minimal, no one would notice if this wasn't presented as an A vs B scenario.
If I had to choose, I'd say B, due to the very slightly fuller sound.

Great job if your goal was to dial them in as close as possible. Success.

Thanks.
I wasn't really trying to make them sound the same. It happened more like naturally within a few minutes.
 
Both sound great and pretty close. I lean towards A for the added upper mid clank, but would be delighted with either and can see how others would lean towards B.
 
Before I read any of the comments I will say that the second (B) clip was either not cutting as well but more likely the levels were not matched as I got a slight volume drop for lack of a better way of saying it. I'm not familiar with these two amps to know which was which. If the Marshall was unmodded, I'd say the SLO was first (A).
 
boy that's close. 2nd one is a tad fatter/beafier, 1st one a tad thinner/clearer.
I agree with @LPMojoGL, wouldn't have even noticed if not presented as A/B.

Ps.: i tried 3 different Headphones and funnily the cheapest inears ones showed the most differences between A & B

They are level matched. If i hadn't it were the other way around. It's a matter of 0.6 to 0.9db.
