Maybe I can even get Mike to drag his TripleRec and Peavy 4x12 (with the Celestion 85's) so people can hear how those speakers sound practically identical to the C90s.

Hell, might as well call my buddy Todd and throw his Stiletto II, Mark IV, and DualRec R005 into the mix.

Throwing in a cab with V30's would be extra beneficial to most of us since most of us are more familiar with V30's, and those clips could be used as a "control" to give us a better idea of what the other cabs/speakers actually sound like aside from just compared to each other. Just a thought

Well, I'd have to get someone to bring down a cab with V30s, since I don't have one. Too does, but he drives a Ford Mustang Tiny Penis.

Engl obviously had those speakers in mind when they designed the Powerball, since when I played Matt Crooks', the sound was the same. The Mesa Stiletto also sounds really good with those speakers. I'm sure EL-34s have something to do with it, although not everything. The EL-34s in my Road King still sounded like shit with those speakers.

I'd be game for that as long as someone with a truck could come get me... I lack the vehicular fortitude to move my Vader and Engl + guitars all at the same time. Yeah Dave the Vader has custom Eminence Legend speakers. Essentially less coloration of the amp from the speaker, which IMHO is a great thing. The cool thing about the SE (that I've been able to determine from sound clips) is that it also works great for jazzy cleans and fusion lead stuff with the right cab, so having speakers that don't add much (other than bass response, which can be dialied down with the SE) to the general sound of the amp is awesome.

Hey Gain, how heavy are your Vader cabinets? I'm thinking this would not be a fun move from my house, down the steps, into a compact car. And then there's the ENGL head.

Broderick said that the SE is amazing all around, the Invader 100 is also good for the price, but the SE is better obviously. PB is next tier.

Heavy as hell. Think like Mesa heavy lol! I'd say close to 100 lbs.

Give me some notice and I might be able to lug my Orange & RK up.

Yah, I got her ready for some Blackouts ;D They're on hold for a sec cause of the massive amounts of moola i dropped on this rig heheh

@ Xtremevillan - If i wanted to tell everyone how much money i spent on this i would have posted it. Im sure you can mind how much a new P-Ball and cab go for on google.

[D-EJ915]
