This is the only “processing” done. Mic is a SM57. In this video, we put the ‪@eminencespeaker‬ DV-77 head-to-head against the ‪@KohleAudioKult‬ Karnivore in a real-world guitar speaker shootout focused on modern high-gain tones. Both speakers were tested using a ‪@mesaboogie‬ Mark V, pushed with a ‪@thiSHEAvyeartheffects‬ Grim3 boost pedal, to highlight how each speaker handles tight lows, aggressive mids, and upper-end clarity under heavy gain. This comparison is designed to be as honest and repeatable as possible—no post-EQ tricks, no excessive processing, and consistent settings throughout. If you’re searching for the right speaker for modern metal, hardcore, or high-gain rock, this shootout should give you a clear sense of how the DV-77 and Karnivore differ in feel, response, and overall character.
