Of course you're going to get better sound from DI when you are comparing it to a POS Marshall MG series. That is a practice amp tone with a 4x12 cab.... Which equals garbage.

For sure, I won't come to record in your studio :)

its better to get a good amp sound reccorded with mics and mix this with your di signal and plugins.then use panning eq and overdubs. wow

This video was more amusing than it was informative.... What was up with the reverb being on 11 on that amp!!!?

[jorgepeterbarton]

that was an awful guitar amp sound. they are not usually that awful.

now go back and find an amp sound that's actually someway similar to what you want with DI, not just a random shit sound with purposely half-assed playing compared to the DI, mic it properly and come back and tell me it doesn't sound better!

no ones told you to avoid marshall MG amps like fire as well.
