Not that you need me or anyone telling you good job, but good job. Keep doing content like this please. I was all ready to swap the pickups out of a guitar I don't even have yet, for the simple fact that the internet/TH-cam concensus says that the 58/15 LT pickups in McCarty .594 singlecuts are a bit darker/muddier than other PRS humbuckers. Turns out they/PRS, have designed a pickup for the neck/bass position on the .594 singlecut specifically, to address any perceived tonal differences caused by the extra wood mass around the neck joint. They're the new TCI 58/15LT+ pickups in the neck position. $500 dollar custom wound pickups, and I was gonna pull 'em out? That's wack.
@@RobertWJackson June 60 is what I meant to say, the pedal over your shoulder that came from the Juno 60 keyboard. This is all off the top of my head Robert...
Have not and never will use sims or ir's. For me it will always be a tube amp and either the speaker in the combo or a 4X12 cab or two. Great video Robert. Thanks again for the content.
Great vid! Not sure what You just proved. Something along the lines of: the real-world guitar playing experience has nothing to do with TH-cam videos and people's opinions and reactions to them. Your Peavey sounded great. In the Blues has a thing about Peaveys too.
this is just proof that mic'ing up a real live cabinet is miles better than a cab sim. yeah people shouldn't jump on the bandwagon because somebody told them to. the Sheffield sounds killer to me, i def picked #1
I love Glenn's content, but you don't need to treat every single opinion of his as gospel. Try things and form YOUR OWN opinion! I'm sure Glenn would say the exact same thing as well. Great test!
I think we all bow to peer pressure too much. I have a 4x12 Marshall 1960 (i think, badge is lost) i wanted V30's in it since I've had it, because the internet told me i needed to. I eventually got 4x V30's and installed them and..........I hated them!!!!!! way too 'midley' IMO. I've gone back to the G12-75's and i now realise that I love these speakers!!
I like the T75’s. I’ve been playing the same Marshall 1960A cab with the same JCM 900 Dual Reverb for over 10 years now, and I’ll never get rid of either one of them.
Fair enough. Apparently I have an expensive taste, having chosen cab3. Although the Mesa cab is one of my favorites together with the Engl Standard cab E412 Standard, with V60's. It's darker than the E412 XXL. The Standard is what I have and I use an IR e of my own cab too. I don't understand the hate against Peavey cabs though. They don't sound bad at all. Best to use them with a ribbon and an SM57 (or a nice condenser of choice) in a recording setting. Live you'll probably get a Sennheiser or an SM57 thrown in front, so that was a good choice for the comparison imo.
I think I had said. 1+3. Or. 3+5? Hell I don't remember... Keep in mind. I play a Blackstar id 60 TVP solid State Head. Pushing 3 celestian vintage 30's and a Warehouse vintage 30 clone. And two celestian rocket 50's. So. 6-12" on all the time
It's amazing how many judgments we make with our eyes instead of our ears. Side note: I've never really liked the V30; not sure why, just didn't. I like K100's & Randall Jaguars most. To each their own I suppose.
Well I guess that explains it then, why I chose number. My current rig is a Mesa boogie multi triple rectifier with you guessed it, 8 shitfield speakers one of the cabinets which I have been using for over 30 years. And I absolutely love the way they sound.
Awesome! I have been rocking the same Peavey 4x12 w/ Shefields since 1997. Its been through 3 amps and still sounds killer. Right now it has a Boss Katana Mk2. head and I love it.
Believe I chose 1 as well. Funny thing, I have a real nice Tone Tubby 2 x 12 here, I have a Friedman Dirty Shirley head it’s tied to and I rarely even use it. With the Ox I’m almost always just going line out into a Headrush FR speaker and it sounds fantastic. The cab just takes up space and I’m too stubborn to sell it LOL! Cool comparison you did man, My self included we definitely go by big names and labels, or at least a whole lot of us.
I have a Laney ironheart full stack with their standard 412a and 412b cab speakers and is sweet enough for me, then I have a DIY cab I made with two different eminence speakers cross ways, two Texas heats 150W each and two swamp thangs 150W each with intragal speakers mics built into the cab cathing the two speakers in recording for which I Manley use either a orang pro crush 120, a h&k blackspirit 200 floor, a blu guitar mercury and lastly my iron heart 300w amp, I would like to change my recording set up and buy the laney la studio amp with two notes but t hat s a later on project, as for speakers it does make a difference on tone but the snobbery is like Gibson owners very blinkered, music is about being open to possibilities with experimentation and ooooohhhh look what I did with that tweek. Closed minds are not artistic. COOL VIDEO AGAIN SIR THANK YOU
Thank you Robert! I have been vindicated. I knew that Glenn Fricker was a jerk who thought he knew all. The Peavey Sheffield sounds great, but you have to know what you are doing.
Glenn’s not a jerk, that’s quite a stretch. He yells and cusses a lot, but he’s always honest and NEVER bullshits his audience, and he’s quite knowledgeable on a lot of different topics in the industry. I’ve learned an awful lot from Glenn’s channel, and I agree with him about 90% of the time. Peavey Sheffield’s just happen to be one thing that I disagree with him on. If you think he’s a jerk, I’m willing to bet that he said something on his channel that you didn’t like.
Yah; that Peavy absolutely beat three of the five. And coincidentally enough 3 (Mesa Boogie) and 5 (Suhr) sucked 'muddy' bottom in my book. 2 is still better than 1, but 1 is better than three others.
Honestly I think one mic placement for all isn’t all that helpful. I know Christian Kohle usually mics every speaker individually to their optimal position. The same speaker, distance, and angle, but varying side to side, closer or further from the dust cap.
I preferred #1 because it sounded more full and live sounding to me. My 2nd choice being #4 which was funny to me since i have that cab. Interesting video. I am so glad i am nit a sheeple. You should do another video like this one,but with a different topic.
I didn't like #1 in the first video because of the woofy nature. However, it still sounded good (they all did) and I am not even surprised it was a Sheffield 1290. I am more shocked that my favorite sound was a Mesa cab because I usually hate them. I regularly use a Peavey 412 loaded with 1290s for recording. It's a great speaker that only gets hate because of V30 dominance from the factory line metal production mindset that has been present since the start of the Andy Sneap forums. That said, my only gripe with the 1290s is that they are not the most efficient speaker volume wise and can get buried in a loud band, at least in my experience.
I liked the Marshall cab with Greenbacks best. This is surprising because I never was a Greenback fan and I personally think the G12K-100 is the best sounding Celestion speaker for metal tones. Also, the Peavey Sheffield of course isn't the best speaker in the world, but I've heard much worse. The grating speakers with tiny magnets in my Marshall MG412 cab I still have from when I was in high school are an example of some of the worse ones...
Hahahahahaha love it. I like the sheffield open back. Just not in n a 412 closed Amp matters also. The Amp matters with speakers. The wame Amp with wrong speaker can sound crap the right speaker glorious.
Hahaha .. Classic .. The Peavey wins in a blind sound shoot-out .. I sold Peavey for almost ten years and it was a fight every day to get people to give their stuff a chance .. The real, real tone guys (even if they didn't buy) would almost always admit the sound was comparable, if not better than, some of the big brands ..
There's opinion suggesting that the EVM12L mounted in a Thiele cabinet is the ultimate speaker/cab combo for electric guitar. Do you have experience with this combo?
Hi Robert, I chose number 2, as it sounded brighter. I was balancing my decision between 1 or number 2. Number 1 sounded more full, but eventually voted 2. I have a Peavey cab with the Sheffield and I have used it for years. I applaud your choice of doing that type of video. Maybe you might consider a video on microphone comparison.
I liked cab 4 in the first video, but I use cab 3 when I record. pretty funny. I have recorded songs with my peavey 6505 112+ with the Sheffield. that speaker cuts through the mix extremely well. Great video Robert
I'm definitely not a bandwagon jumper... I'm rocking a B-52 AT100 cab because of your suggestion pairing it with my Peavey 6505 1992 Original and I would just about put it up against anything tone wise. If anyone thinks I'm tripping... I have tons of live video that will back it up.
Robert, next you are going to have to squash the naysayers by changing the speaker out 5 times in that cab.. because they are going to say you didn't have an even playing field.. (lots of work for senseless material).. but everyone's ears are different.. I liked #1 the best as more balanced.. was it that your IR's were the issue.. I don't know.. but I liked #1.. I think the 5150 4x12 gets the biggest rap.. seems like a great time to buy them for cheap.. lol
I lik e a guy that aint afraid to put a bullseye on his back! Ha Ha! 1 and 3 were my picks. Hard to beat a Peavey! But different people, different likes. I was fairly certain 1 or 3 was a Peavey, but 64 year old ears here, so not so reliable as they once were. Speaking of cabs, I have an old Yamaha 410 combo from the 70's(?) that more than one person who has heard it has tried to get the sound of it out of their Marshall or Peavey rig. The amp itself aint nothing of note, but it makes an excellent pedal platform. Been funny to have thrown that in there to see who would have picked it!
I picked speaker 1 in the other video due to the fact that it was the only one that didn’t sound nasal or very processed. I’ve never had an issue with Sheffield speakers and that continues.
Finally, I understand your goal here, Robert... to expose sheeple crybaby fanboys... 😂 None of the cabs sounded bad. I'm a 12-15" JBL guy anyway, or Altec-Lansing so I'm into really crisp cleans & the punch to blow you into the next county!
At least I was right about it being a Celestion. 😂 I think this is a cool comparison on how we as guitarists, will pick a brand or a name over what sounds the best.
My 6505+ combo always sounded great at home practice volume. When I brought it to practice and cranked it up to keep up with the drums, the top end turned to sizzle and the bottom end faded completely. I had to make a change. Mic them up and they sound great. Crank em up, different story. Awesome to see that it stacked up well against the V30 though.
True story there. LOL Metal players are the biggest bunch of whiney-ass gatekeeping guitar players on the planet. LOL When I got my Mode Four, I posted a photo of it in the Chug Life Facebook group and mentioned the deal that I got on it. So many of those dudes just couldn’t resist telling me how much those amps sucked, that I should have just lit $230 on fire, yadda yadda, etc., etc. pretty indicative of the metal guitar community as a whole. LOL
That is not the same “Shitfield” that the internet decided it hates. That’s the Sheffield 1200. Your’s is the Sheffield 1290. Both the Sheffield 1290 and the Sheffield 1230 sound pretty good to me. The 1200, not so much.
Nah, now you’re just moving the goal posts. I’ve found that most people don’t even realize that there’s multiple versions of the Sheffield in the first place.
@@RobertWJackson Moving goal posts? I don’t have a horse in this race, brother. And I’m not trying to put you down, friend. 😌 But it’s just a fact that when people talk about shitty Sheffields they 9 out of 10 times talk about the 1200s. They’re the most well known ones. They’re the ones designed by Eddie Van Halen, the ones that came in the infamous Peavey 412 cabs. The sheffield 1230 and 1290 are actually pretty well liked by Peavey heads. But the 1200’s are just a fizzy mess. It’s not like they’re just slightly different either. They’re completely different models and sounds. The only thing they have in common is the ceramic magnet, and the Sheffield name.
Or we could say that cab sims suck? :D In any case, it was a cab sim that sounded best to me. Which goes to show I know nothing about metal. :P Rock on.
Tbh, I didn’t really like most of the virtual miced ones. They sounded a bit woolly to me. I might have liked the first a slight bit more. But the Sheffield sounded the best in this video.
A true dog shit speaker if the seventy80 from Celestion, icepicky and lacks bottom end and punching through is next to impossible because the high mid dip. That being said, I've got a 2x12 with Eminence Governor and a swamp thang and that cab sound just as good if not better my 2x12 with Vintage 30's with most amps, especially with the low end and high end definition ... ymmv
@@Gutch220 1) That’s not even close to being an accurate comparison, 2) the amp wasn’t virtual, and 3) the last one featured wasn’t a virtual cab at all.
great way to prove a point!

Or we could say that cab sims suck? :D In any case, it was a cab sim that sounded best to me. Which goes to show I know nothing about metal. :P Rock on.
Tbh, I didn’t really like most of the virtual miced ones. They sounded a bit woolly to me. I might have liked the first a slight bit more. But the Sheffield sounded the best in this video.
A true dog shit speaker if the seventy80 from Celestion, icepicky and lacks bottom end and punching through is next to impossible because the high mid dip. That being said, I've got a 2x12 with Eminence Governor and a swamp thang and that cab sound just as good if not better my 2x12 with Vintage 30's with most amps, especially with the low end and high end definition ... ymmv
these are all virtual cabs so it's all a moot point.
Why?
@@RobertWJackson it's like comparing cars, but using a video game to do it.
@@Gutch220 1) That’s not even close to being an accurate comparison, 2) the amp wasn’t virtual, and 3) the last one featured wasn’t a virtual cab at all.
