You know, it was weird last time that I used them. I played a show with another band that had one, and I had to play through one. I was playing my Marshall through it, and I couldn't get hardly any feel out of it. With my older Mesa and my Bogner, I can shake notes, pick lightly, and in general, make sounds out of the way that I play. I couldn't do that with the Carvin cabs, no matter how much I twiddled the knobs. It was like "that's the sound you're getting and that's it". It felt stiff as a board, the first time that I've ever felt that from my Marshall. Everytime I hit the strings, it was like an icepick in my ears, even with the presence and treble at 0.
I dunno. The guy that I played that cab from (he has two) says that his Carvin's sound better than my Bogner.....which is a joke. There's a world of difference there, IMO. But it wouldn't be fair of me to compare a cab like that to the Carvin.
