I'm looking at picking up a 4x12 to club gig with. Anybody got experience to
share with me about these models??
Is there 'really' a $1000 dollars worth of difference in tone from bottom to
top with them, is it mechanics (like say, casters and handles)?
I will be driving it with a 60wpc tube amp with a tube preamp front end. I
want the elusive 'brown sound' distortion and super clear cleans... which
the amp/preamp combo is certainly capable of giving me. It's the cabs that
suck on my current gear (2 unmatched 2x12's) - I wish to move to one stereo
matched cab, and I'm not afraid to rewire it if that matters.
Many thanks in advance!

My experience w/Marshall 4x's is that with all of them, you gotta be wound
out to get those tones. And believe me when I tell you, no club will
withstand the hair-parting velocity of air pressure that $1k tone will
require.

Aaron,

Good points... and why I'm considering the small / cheap cab. I can't get
hurt too much at that price and I'm hopeful that at the lower watts it won't
take so much to drive it right. Worst case, I load my Jackson 12's
(celestion 70w knock offs) in it I'm thinkin' if more becomes necessary. On
the bonus side, it should fit right nicely into the trunk of my japanese
import.
Sound about right?

Just get anything with Celestions... the secret's in the cones -
Celestions have loose cones & JBL's (or others of that nature)
have tight cones. You don't need to crank the fuck out of the
amp if you have some preamp overdrive going (not pedal grunge,
real preamp overdrive), just get the speakers moving & fully
excursing.

IMO, YMMV, etc, etc.

Aaron,
Neil you're right regarding speakers. I had bad luck with a high
wattage Celestion too though. The 30 watt greenbacks are good.
Maybe not as easy to get that warmer distortion as the 25s from what=20
I've heard. Clean might be tougher with the 25s.

Aaron, what amp are you using? Do they make a matching cab?
What style of music?

Matching a different cab to an amp has been a less than fruitful
process for me. The one thing I have learned is that more
often than not the matching cabs are tuned to the amp.
This makes for the best match generally. Fender amp/Fender cab.
Marshall amp/Marshall cab. Try the emulators. I've found it to be
pretty much the same there too. Certainly with Nigel and the
Vox Tonelab.

Go to GC and try some cabs with your amp. Major differences
will be heard. Then you'll be totally messed up!
Tom

Tom, sorry, I disagree... you don't have to match the cab to
the amp; what he's looknig for is a loose-cone sound.
Celestions are the ticket - though you may be right about
going with a lower-wattage version if he can find it.
Greenbacks, Goldbacks, Black&Goldbacks, it don't matter, just
get something by Celestion & you'll get close enough to be
within tweak range.

Very sound (TIC) advice man... and agreed. I remember when Peavey came out
with the 5150 stuff I was blown away at how great the 'brown' was in them...
so I did a little checking with the local rep. They actually pre wore the
cones as part of the production. Explained a lot and why new speakers tend
to not have it like the older ones do.

I think the cheaper cabinet will most likely involve the chinese
made celestions which I have not heard good things about.

You really need to hear a cabinet with your amp. There are
big differences to be found.


At last year's NAMM, I was really knocked out by the
Tone Tubby hempcone speakers.

They have 4x12's.

http://www.tonetubby.com/cabinet.htm

Very impressive and at reasonable levels too.

BTW, I like the punch and clarity of ceramic magnet speakers
much better than the over-rated AlNiCo. Much more dynamic.

So, you could get a TT ceramic 4x12 for 1100 or so. I think
they just sound amazing.

Aaron,
Neil you're right regarding speakers. I had bad luck with a high
wattage Celestion too though. The 30 watt greenbacks are good.
Maybe not as easy to get that warmer distortion as the 25s from what=20
I've heard. Clean might be tougher with the 25s.

same deal with me on the higher watt guys.... they have to be kicked =
in the nether regions to crunch up right. I don't wanna part anyone's =
hair in the front row, LOL..
Another interesting note - I have a boogie studio 22, and the black =
shadow that came with it sounds like snot. WAY too bright. Fortunately, =
I had a nice dark scorpion from a dead renown to put in it, LOL =
again....=20

Aaron, what amp are you using? =20
Hybrid rack job.... Digitech 2120 preamp, peavey classic rack 60/60. =
All new tubes in both of them, just ran them through the tube load =
tester and everybody came up at 98% or better. Monster cable in between =
the axe and preamp, ordering 14 guage with the cabinet. I'll be playing =
everything from a 59' Gold Top to a Squier lime green Strat through it. =
Main axe is a heavily modded Ibanez RG570 (tapped coil switch, 4 =
springs+Tremsetter, aftermarket pickups, hand built strat conical radius =
neck, etc...). I could drive a bus over this gtr, pick it up and it'd =
still be in tune, so I tend to use it most.=20

Do they make a matching cab?
Well, sort of. PV put out a 2x12 cab around the same time loaded with =
Celestion 70w's... and I have one. ONE.. dang. It sounds great, but I =
need two... however, I can't find the other one out there for sale.=20

What style of music?
Pop, Rock, Metal, Classic Rock....might even twank a few C&W's out. =
Cover band scene.=20


Matching a different cab to an amp has been a less than fruitful
process for me. The one thing I have learned is that more
often than not the matching cabs are tuned to the amp.
This makes for the best match generally. Fender amp/Fender cab.
Marshall amp/Marshall cab. Try the emulators. I've found it to be
pretty much the same there too. Certainly with Nigel and the
Vox Tonelab.

Go to GC and try some cabs with your amp. Major differences
will be heard. Then you'll be totally messed up!


See this scares me cause I don't want to fall in love with a $1800 =
cabinet :)

Danke' bro
AA

Just get anything with Celestions... the secret's in the cones -
Celestions have loose cones & JBL's (or others of that nature)
have tight cones. You don't need to crank the fuck out of the
amp if you have some preamp overdrive going (not pedal grunge,=20
real preamp overdrive), just get the speakers moving & fully
excursing.

IMO, YMMV, etc, etc.

Good info.... I like the idea of the smaller cab, and the lower wattage
speaks, but I'm a little spooked at the total lack of specs locatable on the
net about these guys... I don't want a cab that can't get anything under say
90hz... that'd suck.

Hemp cone, eh?
I wonder if they'll just lay around eating Cheetos, watching TV and react
sluggishly when I ask them to help around the house or get a job :)

We agree on the alnico/ceramic debate. Like Alnico in a pickup.. not so much
in a speaker.

They're pretty highly regarded in the boutique amp world.

If you're curious, just call up John Harrison at 415-479-2124
and tell him what you are looking for, and he will tell you if
they will work for you.

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound only band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end up=20
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love to see my=20
pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm=20
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele=20
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

Same rig.. you mean my pre and amp setup?

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound only band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end up=20
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love to see my =

pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm=20
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele=20
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

Aaron,
I just emailed my friend to see if it's exactly what he used.
I also asked what would give you the tone you desire.
Clear clean, brown dist and good bottom. He is a guitar
tone fanatic. His suggestions may also be something to look=20
into.=20

I may have some older recorded stuff of his around here. I'll look for =
it.

I have a huge weekend of work so it may be a few days if at all.

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound only =
band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end up=20
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love to =
see my=20
pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm=20
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele=20
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound only =
band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end up=20
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love to =
see my=20
pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm=20
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele=20
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

Awesome man. I'd love to hear what kind of tubes he used as well. I'm =
trying desparately to avoid buying 2 power soaks, but I know that'll =
have a role if he used them.=20

More specifically, I want to get the Eddie VH 5 preamp / regulator =
sagging tube brown and Trevor Rabin tapped coil (ala owner of a lonely =
heart era) clean as the two mainstays. I've got this synth patch that is =
to die for, it's amazingly lush. I also think that Kim Mitchell has =
probably the best club/lively rock'n'roll tone, ever. I like to hear the =
notes and the wood in the guitar sound, but have it smooth and =
non-grating with big big kahunas. Kaaaa-chunk. I hate the BBE and over =
EQ thing I've seen so many amatuers do trying to get that big sound. I =
know the preamp delivers that with my fingers/guitars, simply because =
I've used it direct to record so much in the past. Now it's on the other =
components to deliver it live.

heh....Don't need much, do I?

Aaron,
I just emailed my friend to see if it's exactly what he used.
I also asked what would give you the tone you desire.
Clear clean, brown dist and good bottom. He is a guitar
tone fanatic. His suggestions may also be something to look=20
into.=20

I may have some older recorded stuff of his around here. I'll look =
for it.

I have a huge weekend of work so it may be a few days if at all.

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound only =
band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end =
up=20
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love to =
see my=20
pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm=20
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele=20
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

Aaron,
I sent your comments to him. We'll see what he comes up with. =20
It sounds like you want the whole shebang.

And that 6db thing... whew!

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound only =
band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end =
up=20
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love to =
see my=20
pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm=20
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele=20
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

I know you've gotten lots of opinions, but I'll toss in two more. For me,
live playing with a closed back 4x12 in a room much smaller than Giants Stadium
doesn't work well. The sound tends to 'beam out' in a very narrow range,
usually directly at the guitarist's calves. So he turns up louder and louder
until he can hear himself and then people near the stage are hallucinating.
And not for a good reason. Second, I think 2x10 and 4x10 cabs sound better
with 99% of the guitar/amp combinations out there. They lack some low end,
which probably should be left for the bass in live situations anyway, but
the entire midrange sounds way better to me usually.

I use a Top Hat combo that is basically a Vox AC-15 knockoff. Super clean
is obviously not an option, but the single speaker sounds great. However,
I tried it with a nice old 4x10 Fender cab it it was even nicer.

Boy, as a sound man I agree wholeheartedly about this. That's why I elevate
and tilt my cabs live... I usually fly direct emulated signal at the PA and
let them sweat the room. To be honest I use in ears about %99 of the time,
and the cab is more for filling the hole in the center of the stage and providing
the right kind of vibration relationship to the guitar feedback.... usually
pointed right at me.

I'm still waiting for someone to make a hybrid 2x10/2x12 stereo cab. 10's
sizzle and sing in the mids right, but they don't have the low end I desire.

Aaron,

I built a 1960A clone cab for my lead guitarist. We loaded it with Eminence
Legend 1258's and wired in stereo. He uses a 2120 into a Boogie 20/20 and
gets some killer sounds IMHO. For a low power tube amp, that 20/20 can get
louder than holy crap!I'm not a expert on different guitar tones, I just
know what I like when I hear it and this rig can sound pretty damn nice. Not
really any good info for you here, I just saw you loved your 2120 as does
he.

Tony

PS - I took a lot of care building the cab, matching as close as possible
the wood thicknesses, etc. I covered it in reptile skin black vinyl, with a
black grill cloth and white piping. Then I found a Harley skull and wings
emblem for the badge. We get a lot of comments on it at gigs.

I want to be buried with my 2120. There is seriously no tone I can't get out
of it. When it dies, you will hear the scream of agony from Tulsa, OK all
the way to Pluto.

That being said, it 'must' be programmed, the stock settings bring pain to
the ears and cries of frustration from a soundman. I have also found that
dumping the stock tubes was a grand idea and losing the lame foot controller
that came with it... I use a Roland FC200. My only real complaint with it
is the solo boost... _no one_ needs a fixed 6 dB boost! What were they
thinking, LOL?

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound only band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end up
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love to see my
pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

Good info.... I like the idea of the smaller cab, and the lower
wattage
speaks, but I'm a little spooked at the total lack of specs
locatable on the
net about these guys... I don't want a cab that can't get anything
under say
90hz... that'd suck.

Hemp cone, eh?
I wonder if they'll just lay around eating Cheetos, watching TV and
react
sluggishly when I ask them to help around the house or get a job :)

We agree on the alnico/ceramic debate. Like Alnico in a pickup.. not
so much
in a speaker.

You know, I've always thought a 2x10 1x12 might be the greatest cab ever.
But I'd want control over how loud the 12 inch speaker got. Now that I think
about it the greatest sound I _ever_ got was recording once when I borrowed
a Budda 2x10 cab and played it with my 1x12 Top Hat. I always thought this
was because it was a sorta Vox/Marshall combination but I wonder if the speakers
had more to do with it than I realized? Interesting question.

The guys in the band I'm in get kind of frustrated with me because I'm a
complete 'backline nazi.' If I get my way, and I'll usually whine until I
do, everyone's amp is pointed more or less directly at their head. I put
a power soak on my 15 watt amp, crank it up, and tilt it against a wall or
get it up in the air. That's my version of in ear monitors, push the amp
into your ear;-)

I'm with you TCB, speaker cabinets pointed at the backs of a player's
legs do no good for the player, the crowd or the sound engineer. All
they do is wreck the show. What good is great tone without the ability
to do a great mix out front?

I use a small Galaxy Audio monitor on a mic stand, pointed at my ears
and my guitar (so I can still get screaming guitar feedback if needed).

Out front it's all in the hands and ears of the engineer. Great guitar
tone via a direct balanced XLR send. Stackless on stage. Engineers love
that.

Cheers,
-Jamie

Speaking of which...a month ago I had a chance to mix Five Man Electrical
Band and the their new guitarist has a Fender amp (sorry can't remember the
model) with 4-10'...absolute killer sound, unfortunately it was aimed right
at my head...had no real clue as to how loud he was in the mix until I moved
at least 6' either side of the board.

Basic rule for me is NO AMPS FACE THE AUDIENCE...unfortunately there was no
option in this case as it was a three band show and the damn keyboardist ate
up the left side of the stage

DOn

Could be a Super Reverb too. I had one of those for a while and loved the
sound, I just couldn't stand the weight.

Aaron,
Here is Jeff's response to your amp setup:
Here's some ideas for Aaron:
Aaron,=20
Here are some general comments - I could really go on for days on this =
topic.
For a preamp setup, I use a Boogie triaxis with 90/90 power amp and 2 =
GK90s cabs and a TC electronics Gmajor

First off, the 60/60 is a very good stereo power amp - I wish I never =
sold mine.The 4 x6L6 give good clean transient response.
I used that with a Rockton preamp (solid state), ART multiverb III and a =
peavey 4x4 cab loaded with celestion GK90s and wired in stereo for =
years.
That was a good combo because the power amp saturated gracefully, the =
pro G.A.P had a ton of gain and the cab had a very beefy low mid =
resonance - which compensated for the thinness of the preamp. It was a =
huge stereo sound that I liked at the time - and I was competing with =
Marshalls which sounded much worse, i.m.h.o.
(BTW Celestion changed there manufacturing base - they make the GK90s in =
china now, boogie didn't like them and requested that they custom make =
90's for them - I believe they are called the 'Filmore'). I also have =
GK90s (Filmore) in all my cabs and combos - so yes I like them, and =
overall I find them to be very versitile. The are great clean and dirty =
- but they are 90 watts a piece!!!. You have to push them a bit to get =
the tone.=20
For a more warmth at lower levels you might like the vintage 70s or =
sidewinder - check out some Marshal cabs with vintage 30s also. Make =
sure that your cab can handle the power of your amp.

As for tubes - 6L6s have wider bandwidth (brighter/fuller), EL34s roll =
off the highs lows/earlier (darker/thinner), the non linear stuff is =
very subtle at low volumes. I view power amp distortion as an added =
bonus - during transient peaks your amp wont flat line, it basically =
logarithmically compresses. But if you set a working distortion sound =
with power amp saturation - it won't be good for much else as any signal =
with dynamic range will sound distorted (flubby).=20

As with any guitar rig, it's very subjective - a different player + same =
combo of stuff can yield vastly different results. Experiment and have =
fun!!!.
I'm open for Q's ,
Latter=20
Jeff

Awesome man. I'd love to hear what kind of tubes he used as well. I'm =
trying desparately to avoid buying 2 power soaks, but I know that'll =
have a role if he used them.=20

More specifically, I want to get the Eddie VH 5 preamp / regulator =
sagging tube brown and Trevor Rabin tapped coil (ala owner of a lonely =
heart era) clean as the two mainstays. I've got this synth patch that is =
to die for, it's amazingly lush. I also think that Kim Mitchell has =
probably the best club/lively rock'n'roll tone, ever. I like to hear the =
notes and the wood in the guitar sound, but have it smooth and =
non-grating with big big kahunas. Kaaaa-chunk. I hate the BBE and over =
EQ thing I've seen so many amatuers do trying to get that big sound. I =
know the preamp delivers that with my fingers/guitars, simply because =
I've used it direct to record so much in the past. Now it's on the other =
components to deliver it live.

heh....Don't need much, do I?

Aaron,
I just emailed my friend to see if it's exactly what he used.
I also asked what would give you the tone you desire.
Clear clean, brown dist and good bottom. He is a guitar
tone fanatic. His suggestions may also be something to look=20
into.=20

I may have some older recorded stuff of his around here. I'll look =
for it.

I have a huge weekend of work so it may be a few days if at all.

Aaron,
Matching amp/cabs are a no brainer but not always exactly =
right.
But the right speakers can sound like ass in a bad cab too.
These days we are required to get all the guitar sounds on =
every
CD when in a cover situation. It's harder than a one sound =
only band.

In general the smaller cabs have a harder time with the low =
end
unless they're open back but then it's a little uncontrolled
due to rear reflections, wall and stage resonance. If you end =
up=20
having to over eq to get it, it won't sound natural. I love =
to see my=20
pants get wind torn from the low end as long as it's tight.

My buddy used to have that same rig if I'm not mistaken.
He used Thiele cabs with it. It sounded really good. I'm=20
not sure it sounded as good as it could with the Thiele=20
cabs though. Nice to spread them out for stereo!

Good luck with your search,
Tom

So I played a multi-band club gig this afternoon with the GNX4 going
direct, balanced, to the PA and the tiny powered Galaxy monitor on a mic
stand pointed at my guitar and ears. I asked the sound guy if he liked
my "stack." (grin)

Turned out he's also a guitar player. He plays through an tube stack of
his own and he was obviously underwhelmed by my stage gear. Being
diplomatic, he said, "whatever works for you." But he didn't quite
disguise a bit of stack snobbery. He obviously had low expectations for
the rig.

Then we played our show. He had complete control, the guitar sounded
huge through the PA (and the violin, which I also route through the
GNX4, also sounded great). There were no stage volume issues. The band
was tight, and we had a fun show. Afterwards I asked again if he liked
my "stack."

He loved it. Said it sounded GREAT. Mind changed.

The next band had the requisite Marshall guitar amp, 4/12 cab and a
similarly sized bass rig. Aimed strategically at the back of each
player's knees and CRANKED. The sound guy had no chance to control
anything in the moderate-sized club, Their set was mush from the getgo.

Cheers,
-Jamie

Series II spkrs. Rated @ 300w, most players would run, not walk, from these
for distortion of any kind. And while I can't really tell you how or why I
decided that these were my best option, they remain just that. Next to a
good FOH eng, these are the most significant components in my signal path.
I've never looked back. Maybe because my 1x12's were custom built and based
on an old Pacific (Michael Forest) design and employ high grade, slow
growth, light-but-dense Norwegien fir. I use just one primarily but when
the stage is big enough and the players be fine, I switch the old 50/50 to
stereo and run the twin cabs about 20' apart, 10' away, pointing back, up
and and slightly in and jump feet first into what one of my gig compadres
calls "one big luxurious stereo sonic bathtub."

I had a Mesa MKII-C with a seperate vented box with an EVM12-L.

Yeoww! That thing was *loud*, and clean too. Good tone.

Most players don't know that a 1x12 cuts through a lot better
than a 4x12, all else being equal. If you just want a clear, powerful
lead tone, a single speaker just rules. If you want a huge sound, and
can live with a bit less clarity, then a 4x12 is the ticket.

I have a silverface Fender Vibrochamp with a Matchless DC-30
stuffed in it. It has a Celestion 10" speaker in it.

I used to hang out with my friend's blues band in San Diego and play
sometimes, and that amp would make every note as clear in the
back of the room as on stage. Just amazing. Yes, it's a good amp,
but it's also the clarity of the single speaker.

I have one of Mark Sampson's new Star amps, and when I got it,
he and I were yakking for a while, and he absolutely agrees that
a single speaker is the key to absolute clarity and being clearly
heard in the back of the room.

Of course, I still love the 4x12's too... heh heh

Thank God for a patient wife!

no dude, it actually makes a load of sense when presented that way. I 'HATE"
the ampeg 8-10's for bass. It takes the thing something like 25ft to stop
phasing on itself. The bass player standing 5 ft in front of it don't get
that, ever, and it's plow-the-front-row time every time. In this context, I
completely get what you're saying to me.

I'd have to agree with this. A signature of my sound is a crisp, focused
tone, whether clean or dirty. I think getting focused tones from a
multi-spkr cab in a recording environment is possible but live, it is much
more difficult. The last time I played a 4x cab I remember thinking I'd
much rather use it at high vols to break in new jeans, clean off muddy shoes
and stuff like that.
