Alright, I'm going to say with absolute certainty that clip 2 is the Mills!

Nice ear. I think it's funny how everybody who posted in that treat assumed that whichever one they like more was the Mills cab, haha.

I'd like to hear the Mills in person before making any decisions, but based on recordings, I'm pretty consistent in liking the Recto cab more. I do keep hearing about how much people like their Mills cabs more than the Recto cabs though.

Anyway, cool comparison that the guy did!

Aye, me too. I think I like the Mesa cab more but I still want to try a Mills cab. Or maybe try G12k-100s in a Recto cab.

I only listened to about 45 seconds of each clip, but the only real difference I could tell on my crappy computer monitors was on the palm muted notes. The Mills sounded raunchier on those.

Not me

Pretty sure that's the kicker there, cuz while I did think they were close, to me the differences actually were most apparent in the lower mids, in favor of the Mesa (the Mills just felt a little unpleasanlty dense there IMO)

Very interesting. Thanks for the cool thread

I preferred the Mesa too.
