Quiet VS LOUD Speaker

This is just a test to see how much difference there is pushing a speaker when recording guitar. I tried to narrow the differences down to just the volume level going to the speaker without driving the power amp. Let me know if i should do this again another way.

When it's loud you can hear the compression and smoothness. Not sure if it's from the speaker or the power amp. But it's not a big difference. Our ears trick us when playing a loud amp. We think it sounds way different but it's the ear drum its self. When the playing field is level by a mic and mic preamp gain, it's not as different as you might expect. The only thing I would have done different is use a clean solid state power amp, that would take the amp out of the equation. Cool riff by the way. C.O.C. rocks. Saw them open for Metallica in 97.
