This series is an attempt to show how different speakers affect guitar tone in heavy Rock and Heavy Metal. We're showcasing Celestion speakers, namely the Vintage 30, EVH, Lynchback, K100, and Creamback M, H and Neo.

The guitar parts used are from “Daemons” by The Dead XIII – playthrough video here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuEwG9GMAz4

The guitars were recorded through Blackstar 1046L6 amps (and we took the DI tracks from after their pedal rigs) and re-amped through the same amp, with the Crunch, OD1 and OD2 channels used in the same settings as the Dead XIII guitarists used on the performance day.

The Cabinet used was a Zilla Fatbaby 1×12 with a Celestion Vintage 30 8 Ohm.

EVERY MIC WAS PLACED AT THE EDGE OF THE CAP 1CM (roughly half an inch) AWAY (except where not possible, such as the Shure SM7B where the huge grill on the mic means the capsule was a little further back – that mic was placed as close as possible to compensate)

NO EQ WAS USED AT ALL. No compression, no nothing. If you want to EQ your guitars to fit into a mix, that's understandable but we wanted you to know what they sound like straight off the desk.
