ATTN: Cav (or other Peavey Triple XXX users)[views:7802][posts:75]_________________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 1:54pm - metal_church101 ""] LOL. Behringer's rule. Do you have an endorsement? |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:00pm - passerby‘er ""] I wish. I don't think they're so quick to hand them out like gibson and mesa. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:02pm - metal_church101 ""] Keep working on them. I'll sure you'll get your Behringer endorsement. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:12pm - passerby‘er ""] I'll sure you'll get your Behringer endorsement. What language are you speaking? Seriously. Let me guess, you're in junior high. Wow. Stupid fucker. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:13pm - metal_church101 ""] I can hardly wait. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:40pm - brian_dc ""] Earcandy only makes 2x12. Some people swear by them, other people just say that they're incredibly overpriced. I like my Avatar and Mesa cabs. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:42pm - metal_church101 ""] 5150 cab here. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:46pm - brian_dc ""] Peavy cabs are pretty meh. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:50pm - metal_church101 ""] I like the 5150 better than the Marshall 1960A (when I compared them back in the day.) But then again, I don't have all the money in the world and it does the trick for me. Compared to otehr peavey cabs, the 5150s are made of a different type of wood and speakers (different magnets and wiring included.) Shitty casters, but I put the cab in a hard shell case for gigging. I never had money for a mesa cab, and I know people have preferred them over Marshall cabs for better low end. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 2:59pm - Joshtruction ""] There are tons of choices for decent cabs. earcandy, avatar, marshall, orange, mesa, bogner, B52 (yeah I said it, thier cabs are nice) framus, engl, vader, Genz Benz, VHT, splawn, and a whole ton more. Sometimes you need to step back and see what YOU are looking for. Tuning to B sometimes does not agree with certain cabs. Especially with something like a XXXXXXXXX. a lot of them cabs will fart out and sound muddy. Cabs I would personally recomend... VADER, VHT, Bogner, GENZ BENZ. Anyone of them cabs would be an absolute animal. For the price and quality it is almost impossible to beat the vader cabs. Especially for metal. They can handle lows without breaking up and getting muddy, they project nice, they are built like tanks (also take that into consideration with thier weight) and like I already said priced right. For the record 1960 cabs came with 3 different speakers. Greenbacks, v30's, and gt12's depending on what series the cab came from. Most common is the GT12's which uually come standard in most 1960a/b cabs. Slant cabs have less bottom end than straight cabs. |

I have an idea of waht I'm looking for, I just need to start trying stuff. I'd like to get my hands on a Vader cab to try out, along with a 1960A (or B). I'd love to look into VHT, but they're out of my price range, and I've heard a bunch of good things about Avatar, but I'm skeptical first off because they're so inexpensive, and secondly, I don't personally know anyone that has one that would be willing to bring it up to my practice space to try out (I drive a piece of shit car, that barely makes it to and from work on a daily basis) I'm looking for something specifically that has a tight yet resonant low end, but not boomy, but still retains crunchy mids and clear highs. I know the 1960s don't have a ton of low end, but I've always been partial to the sound of them. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 22,2007 6:51pm - blue ""] mark, you want a vader cab. super tight and punchy. honorable mention to avatar though, cant beat the price for their quality. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 8:04pm - Joshtruction ""] I know right now I can get you a showroom mint VHT d412 cab for 820 shipped to your door. It's for sale on another forum I post on. I'd say grab the vader. I cant see you being disapointed with them. I love the ones I had. I want more. I am in full support of them. Avatar does do great FOR THIER PRICE. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 9:39pm - GoatCatalyst ""] dudes never even touched an earcandy 2x12... crazy honkies, just writing it off and shit. pish posh. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 22,2007 10:44pm - brian_dc ""] I just have no need for a 2x12. I only posted the two completely polar opinions of them that I've heard. Don't have an opinion of my own other than that I don't need a 2x12 and I'm pretty sure D.I.E. is looking for a 4x12 |

| __________________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 10:28am - DreamingInExile ""] OK, so, who's got a Vader cab that I can try out? after reading up on them, and listening to people here, I'm seriously considering them, I'd just like to try one out first. I try just about everything before I buy it. the only thin I've never tried out before I bought it was my Winter guitar (which I play exclusively now, I love it that much) I appreciate all of the input from all of you on everything, from boost pedals to cabnets. I'm not going to disagree with G.C. about the 212's from earcandy being good, but blue hit the nail on the head about needing something to project at shitty 'lack of PA' venues. a 212 wouldn't cut it in OBriens, since there's no instrument micing through PA, and no monitors. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 3:13pm - kessaris nli ""] put everything up to 10 on the ultra channel |
| __________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 3:13pm - brian_dc ""] YES! |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 3:13pm - kessaris nli ""] except the mids. Keep them at 0 |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 23,2007 3:34pm - DreamingInExile ""] HAHAHA, I did that just for a laugh the other night |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 24,2007 3:52am - Joshtruction ""] everything at 10 with the EQ them things have must have sounded like pure bliss.......... |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 24,2007 10:12am - GoatCatalyst ""] i assure you my 2x12 will DEVOUR your marshall, mesa or just about any other brand 4x12 you could put it up against. and when i complete my dastardly plans and procure my SECOND 2x12... world domination will be MINE seriously - its portability combined with the fact that it will simply outperform most 4x12s just makes it a no-brainer... for me, at least |
