Ta!
yeah I felt the same way - I tried a Vox AD50Vt and a Marshall DSL401 - both fine 1x12" combos in their own right but I just always missed the way my Head and a cab sound together, plus you can fit a 2x12" in the boot of a car fine and carry it easily unaided - it just made sense to me to go back to this setup. I lurrrve it. It's an extra trip to the car on unload and load but fuck it - it sounds better.

Thing is, i imagine 2x12" just sounds like 1x12" but bigger, louder and more bass? If i got a cab i'd go for a 4x10" - for the extra midrange punchiness and lower volumes. I bloody love the one a play at my band's rehearsal room (with a VS100RH), and it sounds a lot better than my VS100R 112 combo at home, even at low volumes.Mike wrote:Ta!

Weird thing is though, it's incredibly directional -sounds completely different depending on where i am in the room. Probably due to poor sound insulation on the walls, but still..v annoying
on a sidenote i actually looked into the Vox Valvetronix range to replace my Valvestate - i liked the powersoak knob on the back, and the effects were great. just all the models were a bit too bright and "chimey" and well...vox-like. Plus i heard it doesn't take pedals well, cos of the EQ shaping in the models. What was your experience like?

I liked the amp - and it wasn't bad with pedals at all - but nothing like a nice tube front end - seeing as there ain't 12AX7/ECC83s in the frontend - if you drive it then you're driving trannies - and it's not going to impart that warmth you expect with a tube amp. The DSL401 clean channel absolutely loves pedals - great clean channel.
I see what you mean about the Vox Valvetronix series; the AC and Fender models were by far the best and I loved them - and miss them a little, but I'm a Marshall man, make no mistake about it.
A 2x12" sounds very different to a 1x12" Combo. Closed Back makes a massive difference to projection and bass response, plus the highs are softened and there's little to no brittleness.
I've never experienced a 4x10" on a guitar amp so I can't comment on that, but a closed back 2x12" cabinet sounds far superior to any combo I've played.

i like the practice rig, nice and clean setup, love that tele
i spotted a cat, fuck amps and guitars, moooore pictars of the cat !
btw, i was messing around with some pedals today and put the dano phaser and trem on my 'pedalboard' for bass, i got quite an interesting ringmod-ish sound out of it when i put my bass thru a big muff, ceb, the dano phaser and trem, both with pretty extreme settings tho, and when i stomped on the blue box it got even more..well, noisy, we have new neighbors since last weekend, just to give them a taste y'know

alright, superlead clone's not quite done yet... (embarassing to talk about it since i got the parts so long ago and it's been ages since i did anything on it), probably be ready next month or so and there'll be a jolly good multimedia-post about it.Doog wrote:PIX
my brother moved out of his apartment and went on holiday with his girlfriend so his TSL half-stack has been left here for awhile, i'm not too fond of the amp ("where'd my tele go?") but the cab has proved QUITE impractically fun.
