Which affects tone most?

[imkeith]

are you serious? .. this is kinda extreme lol

extreme it might be, but its pretty logical(sound reflection, absorbtion and relative density of material where the sound travel before reaching our ears).

Anyway, this kinda info is nothing new in guitardom. There are info online on it as well, just need to search round for forums etc to read on. Hehe, guitar and amps have existed much longer then some here, of course there be lotsa ways throughout the years people try to improve on or innovate to see how it affect the sound.

So yeah, dont be too surprise next time when someone says that even a rubber band holding a pedal is better than screws(which, already happen... hehe), it a strange world out there and if new to guitardom, theres a lots more to this kinda things, be it logical or illogical..

have fun

Wow... Even the type of wood on the CAB plays a part now? Amazing lol

It has always been like this. If alder and mahogany guitar bodies produce a different sort of 'sound', it is logical, and true, that the material of the cabinent plays a big role as well. Using an MDF or plywood backing in a Marshall 1960B cabinet produces a different sound. As a development of this, carbon fibre is also used in high end audio speaker enclosures, due to its rigidity.

'The whole is more than the sum of its individual parts.' Certainly holds true for music, in general.

well the weirdest one i know of is this guitarist by the name of george lynch from dokken, he has this studio out in the dessert shaped like a dorm haha but it certainly has some crazy reverb/vibe
