NAD! '82 Marshall 4104 with EV's

[VonBonfire]

What's your take on the Eminence PF-350?

I don't have a verdict yet. Mine are still breaking in. Currently at higher volume, a little too bright n tight, but they seem to be slowly improving the more frequently I beat them. I have a few dozen hours on them. I've seen "150 hours" mentioned as the break in. They seem pretty mid focused and so far have a smooth top end at lower volumes. The real issue is trying to move the Twin loaded with them. You're looking at 95lbs....

Alright, more clips. It was past midnight when I recorded these, but nevertheless I think things turned out fairly well for not spending much time on anything other than mic placement. Setup is my 4104 loaded with EV Force 12's, with a PZM about a foot or less from the front of the cab lying on top of the carpeted floor. Guitar is my entry-level Aria with stock pickups, going into an Orange Two-Stroke with max clean boost and a little extra bite dialed in with the EQ. No bass cuts that I recall.

And here are the clips. The amp was so quiet you can hear the acoustic sound of the strings fairly well. In the room I could talk over it.




You can hear my hand tire out on this next one.


I can hear myself rushing the chugs on this in hindsight. Oh well.

Unchained sounded awesome!

The last two sound really good. You can tell that it would probably kill when turned up a bit.

I think the last two are my favorite too, the others could use some time dialing in better fitting tones. Looking forward to when I can get this cooking nice 'n loud. I've done it at a rehearsal studio back in LA, but not with this cab or isolated from other guitarists playing at the same time.

Unchained sounded awesome!

Thanks! I may have to actually learn it properly to see what it sounds like through this rig.
