Making this video was really hard and really fun.
I am fascinated with guitar cabs. I spent years ignoring them, thinking tone was all about the guitar, amp, and pedals, until I got so frustrated with my tone I started trying different cabs and learned that they have the power to completely change your sound.
But I didn’t know why. And after reading about it, I felt like nobody knew why. I’ve become quite skeptical of any guitar tone opinions that were formed before humans could record and edit together A/B tests easily in their own house, which wasn’t all that long ago.
So, I did it myself.
I did my best to answer every question I’ve ever had about guitar cabs, with listening examples and frequency plots for specific head-to-head comparisons all caught on video so you can decide what you think matters most.
