Also, that must have been so much work putting this together. Many thanks for your service to the speaker aficionado community!

Would be keen to see more such speaker comparos!

Black backs are sweeter just saying

the best of them is the MS12 imo but doesnt match that much with mark 4 but play a recto an engl or a mark III with it ...

very usefull comparison thx !

UK speaker has better lows at the expense of highs. Chinese speaker has better highs at the expense of lows. It's like the frequency range just moves higher going from the UK to the Chinese. I prefer Creambacks to both of these, personally.

Best demo of these speakers and amp on UA-cam.

So how about the rear settings? Pentode or Triode? Class A or Simulclass? Harmonics or Mid Gain? Everyone seems to ignore this when sharing their settings on these types of demos. Eminence sounds like pure ass on anything but the cleanest setting. I can see why the EVM was considered the upgrade back in the day.

Booger?

turn it up tp 3!!

Aesthetic AF 🔥 (and nice tones!)

LOVING that tone

Superb work Matt!

I have a Mesa branded EVM 12 inch speaker. Wondering if I can swap it into my MESA MK IV combo with out any issues. Currently the previous owner had installed a Celestion Century 8 ohm speaker, This Celestion Century is the older one, and he said he did the swap to make the combo lighter . Thanks for the video comparison JL

Played this amp many times. One of my favorites

Rock On ! Riff machine !!

I loved every second of this! Such sick tones and playing

The king of tone

These VTM’s have a storied history. Interesting amps. They were born out of a need to compete with Marshall at the time. Peavey built the Butcher, but the circuit was too close to a Marshall JCM so they legally had to stop making them. Undeterred to compete, Peavey modded the circuit further and added dip switches to add enough complexity to be considered distinct, and the VTM 60 and VTM 120 was born. Great amps.

Great sound, great contest!

Great riffs and great editing all together. A lot of work you've put in the video for sure. Great job!

Great sound, great riffs, great contest !

The benchmark in tone chasing I hear the differences, and appreciate the effort. Fine work!

Nice!

My favorite Peavy amp ever. I had a VTM120 for a while. Definitely wish I had it back. Great amp. Yours sounds killer. If you know the right combo of dip switches it’s like a Jose modded Marshall.

These amps are fantastic, I used to have an Ultra 120, then the Ultra Plus, and a JSX, they really all sound pretty fantastic, never tried the XXX/3120, looks like I'm going to have to

🤘🤘🤘

Cool demo!! Great job :) J'ai un 3120 avec des KT77 et un 12at7 dans V2 pour adoucir le gain un peu et le rendre plus manageable et bref ça sonne vraiment bien et moins ''recto'' d'ailleurs. As-tu préféré le JSX de Ken? Il est encore dispo chez Amplitubes et ça me tente presque de l'acheter hehe

This is the best demo of the Micro Chorus on UA-cam.⭐️ Thanks so much!

definitely a mid point where you want that Soldano sound but doesn't have the money for it but also doesn't want to risk with Jet City.

Great demo - cheers

I have a 3120 and would luv to trade for a JSX, but I've been told both amps are somewhat similar.

Soo, what is the 1st switch controlling?? Says volume! How?? 2nd switch is bright after the 1st gain stage (off/1n/4.7n) 3rd switch is bright after the 2nd gain stage (off/1n/4.7n) 4th switch appears to be treble cap and either 250p or 470p It's that first one I'm not sure what it is adjusting (whatever it is, it's significant enough to hear, but mild)

Worldwide

Soldano amps to me sound like a Marshall mixed with a nasty BOSS distortion in the mids/upper mids

Eminence sounds terrible in comparison in this video, as if listening to it though a rotary landline phone whereas Celestion sounds alive and present, so to say. I wonder how much this actually reflects on the speakers and how much it's just this video

I have a Mark III combo with the EVM12L, and I think it's perfect. I also have a Mark IVB widebody combo that came with a C90, and I liked it for clean and crunch and hated it for lead. I swapped it out for a G12K-100 and prefer it. I would have put in an EVM12L, but because it's a widebody, it doesn't fit properly. I also have a Mark V head, and at that time, the only cabinets you could buy were either C90 or V30. I bought two 1x12 with C90, one open back, one closed back, and a 2x12 closed back with V30s. I like it better through the 2x12, but I use that cab for my rectifier, so the Mark V sits on top of the two 1x12 cabs. I also have a JP2C and bought two thiele 1x12 cabs with the EVM12L, and I think they sound great also. I've played the Mark V through them as well, and I think it sounds better through them. To me, there's something slightly shrill and nasally about the C90. I think since Mark amps are quite bright and generally sound better when you can turn the presence up a little bit, they benefit from a speaker that's a little dark sounding. Even the K100 I have in my Mark IV isn't completely satisfying to me, but options are limited due to the cabinet dimensions. I wish I had bought a head instead of the combo, but it was for a great price used, and it's the hardwood/wicker combo in mint condition. I couldn't pass it up.

I picked one up about 6 months ago for $400, love it!

Great sound, man!

Amazing sounding amp. Can anyone recommend similar amps to this?

need to play something.....musical, they all sound thin with no bottom at all.

whats the build lead time on one of these

Wow amazing video and excellent detail which is useful! Thank you. Did you try the eq in front of the amp?

Question our you running this in front of your amp or in the fX loop

For channel 3, the black label hands down. The MC90 is a close second. Maybe blend the two in a 412? On the second channel, the black label and eminence. On the clean either evm12L or black label. This is a great comparison video. Straight to the point

Celestion's mc90 is the best natural tone of all.I dont like the eminence for this setup sounds very boxy with unpleasant highs Black label is great too

Great demo. I thought the Black Label was far too dark and muddy. That particular Eminence wasn't much better. The Black Shadow and 12L sounded best to my ears.

this is one of the best guitar tones i’ve ever heard. holy.

Bro, I’d love to hear a demo in a closed back cab. I have 3 of those ms-12 speakers, looking for a 4th if you know of one….let me know.

that spring has plenty of drip.
