Yeah, wasn't bagging on the 414 as much as the miking technique, ie lack of a room mic to combine with the close miked 414.It's not my first choice for an amp, but the 414EB will get you plenty of decent frequency response. There's a few culprits here, but the mic isn't one of them.
No ones mentioned how awesome it is to live in times when the reissue tone is so close to a burst. That’s crazy! Pretty awesome if you ask me.
Really fairly small tonal differences, newer Historics with Custom Buckers would be perhaps even closer to vintage pieces.

Clarified
But not like butter.
The vintage ones are recorded also........so it's same conditions apples with apples no matter which way you look at it.
In person, the difference is greater.
Are you sure about that??
I've played a few bursts over the years and the variation in tone between them can be marked..........some historic LPs hold up well played side by side against the old ones imho......my '13 R8 for example.
This is an around and around we go discussion and totally subjective.......it has no end, on which I'm sure you will agree.
What I'm saying that the difference between any 2 guitars is greater in person than when those same 2 guitars are put through a microphone (most often, a 'colored' microphone), which doesn't have the sensitivity of the human ear.
I have a 2016 R9 too purchased from Vic DaPra ...killer sounding guitar that I am selling.I prefer R9 it has a good sound
what do you mean?I could not listen to the comparison. I don’t care for how the demonstrator plays.
Exactly what I wrote... I went back to the video, and I have not changed my thinking because my hearing is still good. I don’t care for anything I hear him playing. I don’t care for his pick attack in particular.what do you mean?
ok fine i dont get all the nuances cause i m french but never mindExactly what I wrote... I went back to the video, and I have not changed my thinking because my hearing is still good. I don’t care for anything I hear him playing. I don’t care for his pick attack in particular.
