thanks bud for the great answer!
Im all over the place, I have to admit
its hard to believe how expensive cabs are now...prices creeped up to $850! I love the locking corners on my bass cabs. Ill put some pics below. Kinda wanting to carve up my bass cab with side handles too. Humping gear is not ideal....aint rich, just a crazy music dude
ya 70 pounds of bulkiness and turning/stacking sideways is a good way to strain/sprain your back, and then at that point it does not matter how good the tone is lol!
My last doom band was tuned to C Standard and they all had issues with my 212 and thunderverb 50 not sounding as big as the other guitarist's 100 watt 412. Doom bands are really picky when it comes to gear, needing to stay as vintage and low gain high wattage as possible, really Or120 or Sunn Model T or other similar 100 watt stack realms and beyond...avoiding the compression of the higher gain amps like my thunderverb lol.
Probably need to stay with traditional doom or classic rock and stay in standard tuning so I dont get that type of band member feedback.
Awesome your 212 vertical cab works for you! Was thinking about the Matamp vertical 212 and Matamp gt1 since it does nonmaster volume to get the dynamics of the fuzz pedals and 50 watts and 100 watts via switching but ya there is a million different options, I like that ported cab you recommended and have thought about ported cabs over the last 12 years. I see even Friedman has a ported cab. Ya engineers can do wonders. In my cover band I have been using IEMs and a guitar amp modeler so I hear everything perfect. But that is not gonna fly for doom, so I have been wishing they will let me use my Torpedo Captor X and Alto powered PA speakers...that would be perfect since they are way more portable with handles on top and sides and can get the sound guy the 412 type tones without snare drum and other instruments leaking through the mic, so better mix really but ya not purist at all.
no the printer is not musical lol:
