Maybe you did. What I liked about the Behringer is that it doesn't color your sound. What you put in comes out, however with the Marshall, it all had that horrible spiked midrange, bass eating, darkly masked sound that I've put 3 different amps with the same tonal coloring. It may very well be something wrong with just that cab, but I didn't like it at all.

It could be the speakers in it as well. If it was an older Marshall cab (early-mid 80's) it could have the G12M-70 speakers in it and they sound bloody awful. Wayyy too mid-rangy and muddy.

That's what it is I'm sure. If he changed those damn speakers it wouldn't be so bad

yeah, my tone was colored to sh!t haha
the marshall was alright, but i upgraded that to a mesa recto cab and that suits me just fine.

Another interesting observation made today, that I expected to happen based from what other people have said. My other guitarist uses a Line6 Flextone through a 4x12 cab, and he had his setup just as loud as mine. But we were jamming today and my rig was just stomping all over his, you couldn't hear him over me unless I turned way the hell down. The harmonic content of my rig just stomped all over his. Damn, I can't wait to get some JJ 6l6GC's and ECC83S's in this thing, bias it correctly, and slap a TS7ovChaos in front of the amp, it's going to sound SICK!
