Members Zoidberg Posted November 14, 2009 Members Share Posted November 14, 2009 have anyone used/tried this cab? I need a new cab soon, and I've got little cash. I'll be using the cab with a 50w tube head. The fact that the cab is cheap and seems decent makes it attractive too me. I like the Vox-looks too. I've heard some people saying it's a pretty good cab actually. Another positive is that it's supposed to be pretty light-weight for a 2x12 cab. Maybe I'll have to look into swapping speakers tho? It has two 30w speakers as far as I know, so maybe it would be a good idea to swap to higher wattage speakers? For instance a pair of Eminence Red Fangs?

Members Cirrus Posted November 14, 2009 Members Share Posted November 14, 2009 If that's the cab with wharfdales, I'd go so far as to say it probably won't sound great, though it is indeed a cool looking cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean to say that I'll just plain stink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cirrus Posted November 14, 2009 Members Share Posted November 14, 2009 In relation to what? I don't know... it'll sound worse than something that sounds better? I'm no expert or anything, but I've got an ac30 that came with two of the speakers that are in that cab, and I don't think the speakers were very good. They sounded kinda stiff, fizzy, "Plasticy" and not great. They're voiced a bit like bad greenbacks I think. I swapped them out for celestion blues, they sounded much better. But I don't think you'd need to spend that much to beat the wharfdale GSH speakers. At the end of the day it's your call, son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleStain Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 The cabinet itself is fine, but the wharfedale speakers are not. I had one with Celestion blues, and it was made of birch and as solid as most open back 2x12 cabinets I've played. I wouldn't keep the speakers it has stock, but it is just fine structurally.

Members Zoidberg Posted November 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks for replying guys, you've been helpful. I'm torn between getting the V212BN or the 1x12 Nighttrain-cab.I need something relatively light-weight and cheap.Either way it looks like I'll have to swap speakers tho.

Members Cirrus Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 I've got the 1x12 night train cab. It's got a good speaker in - a celestion greenback. I've posted a clip of the night train head+cab combo on this forum. What kind of sound are you looking for, and what do you want to plug into it?

I've posted a clip of the night train head+cab combo on this forum. What kind of sound are you looking for, and what do you want to plug into it? I'm going to be using a Koch Twintone 50w head.It's going to be used as an all-round amp in my apartment, or probably mostly for dirty tones if I find that I'll use it live. I have Silverface Fenders for cleans and normally use pedals for other tones.I play lead in a indie-rockish band, so I mostly use clean and overdriven tones. Nothing too heavy. The Twintone can be used at 4 and 8 ohms.Which probably is a problem, seeing as the Vox cabs are 16 ohms stock?And the speaker in the Nighttrain-cab is 25watts from what I understand, so is the head too powerful at 50 tube watts anyways?

Yeah that's true, would need a speaker with a higher rating. I like this cab. but I read a review that said it was particle board. Zat true? I'll check tomorrow. What difference does this actually make on the tone? It feels like a solid cab, and it sounds like it's resonating ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
