Cab suggestions please!

Axel · 04-15-2007, 03:43 PM

Ok so I blew my 5150 cab 2 days ago. I borrowed a mesa dual rect cab for a gig last night and it sounded really nice imo, so that is definetely an option. I'm also interested in the Voodoo cab (anyone have one and can comment?) I've also been told Bogner cabs are great.
Would putting V30's in my 5150 cab work out?

I am running a 7 string with Lundgren pickups into an old 5150 head, so there's plenty of gain. I need a cab that can handle high gain yet retain clarity. Please offer me some suggestions

if you want to try some v30's I've got some I can let go

Yo Mister...Ekendahl.....

go with either Celestion v30's or v 75's or a combo of v30's & v75

a lot of pro metal guys do that. Mesa cabs do not sound that good in studio compared to
Marshall 1960's , Orange, or Madisons

Peace

I have a Avatar 4x12 with V30s and G12h30s and the sound is great, but only with a good head. I tried a crate with it and it sounded very bad.

actually, its "accept no substitute - get an orange"

I have an Avatar 2x12 I run along with my Mesa 4x12 recto. The avatar cab sounds great, but it's nowhere near the quality of the Mesa cab. The Mesa cab just has a lot more low end thump than the Avatar cab.

Don't get me wrong, the Avatar cabs are great, but I've never played a cab that sounds better than the Mesa Recto standard 4x12. The Marshall 1960 cab is the only one in the same league IMO.

It's a known fact that slanty cabs make you play better.

I've been wishing my slanty cabs were straight front for a while now...

probably cause I need to take my playing down a notch, I'm just getting too out of control

Randall cabs are absolutely mind blowing! Definetly the top underdogs that slay all the overdogs (wtf?

) or just get an Orange and Paint it....
