Comparing a few guitars into my JCM800

That Marshall is just nasty! LP, Rampage, Wolfie for me. For some of the single notes lines the Rampage jumped out a bit more than the LP though.

Thats my takeaway as well. They all have the same set of 10s except I have the low E from a set of 11’s on the wolf cause I tend to bend it slightly out. Which is making it sound fatter than it really should.
 
All sound great, depends on the riff. I mostly liked the LP but on the last riff I preferred the Rampage.

And on that last riff, on the Rampage, the first time you hit the open D string...THAT'S the D-string 'clank' that I've been trying to describe but nobody hears it or experiences it. Listen close, there is a weird 'clank' harmonic or something. It doesn't happen on the second time around that lick. It seems Floyds do it and even worse tuned a half-step down.
 
Of the 3, the Wolf is my least favourite, the LP and G&L both sound pretty close through the shitty headphones I have at my work desk. My home base is sort of bolt-on floyd guitars, so its cool to hear that sound pretty close to the LP, with the positive (bright) things I like about Superstrats

Agreed on the rampage working better for that last riff! Feel the same way. Not sure about the clank thing I’ll have to listen back

I’m with you. To be fair, boosting them all with the same pedal brings them closer together in sound than if I had gone straight in. But for high gain, I prefer boosting a crunchy tone so that’s what I did

Nothing scientific here. It’s funny how different the listening experience is when you’re playing vs listening back. Anyway, curious to hear opinions etc

I like your sounds. They are always pretty smooth and gainy. I guess the Gibson plays the fastest, followd by the Rampage and thean the Peavey. Did you use an IR?
 
Sounds great!

All anyone needs, is a good Marshall, couple pedals and your fav guitars. And, your fav cab.
Boom.
