Same guitar, same amp, same settings, Same passage, different cab, different speaker. About 30 seconds of each. Any preference?

Black cab for me, more forgiving of finger noises but still perfectly clear.
-
Black (i.e. the latter sample); a bit drier and less boomy on the bass side. More balanced.
-
The black cab might be less brilliant in tone but it has a rather dominant midrange presence that I would find unpleasant after a (short) while. To me it sounds quite colored.
It's one thing to judge a set of different speakers with the same signal chain but since you have :
a) a tone control on your guitar
b) an EQ on your amp
c) the ability to find the sweet spot for the mic in front of the cab
d) maybe a different mic
so there are many options to fine-tune the end-result.
Last-but-not-least : do the same test with a couple of mics 3 to 6 feet away from the cab - you'll hear a totally different sound.

I preferred the first one. The second one would have sounded at home in a smoky bar in Detroit around 1967.

I prefer the first one… more substance to the tone… and it sounds more like you, Jim.

I prefer the first. I'm not an expert, but it seems that both are near to saturate basses...
-
I too preferred the first recording
-
Jim, are you going to identify the cabs??
