Members Boltino Posted June 22, 2007 Members Share Posted June 22, 2007 here's Al Estrada's EVM12L setup the empty holes act like big ports. John Suhr says this config sounds AWESOME. :eek: :eek: :eek: The word "ports" seems insufficient in describing that configuration! Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow From the few vids I've seen of Al Estrada playing an CAE OD-100 (I think) he seems to be an amazing player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hell Bites Posted June 22, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2007 I haven't tried them with many different amps, but IMHO, they really let the character of the amp shine through. They have so much power handling that they are very clear and don't impart much of themself on the amp tone. Obviously they add something as anything in the signal path would. I like the fact that I don't get varying levels of speaker distortion with different volumes. They are quite heavy, but sound huge in a small package. I've been using my Mark IV short head with a single mesa thiele lately and it doesn't really make me miss a 4X12 that much. I could try the EVMs with my Laney GH50L and report back if you'd like. Not the same as your Splawn, but may give a similar vibe. Let me know (I'll probably do it anyway now that you've peaked my curiousity ). Wes That's cool about the 1x12 Mesa Thiele. I have NEVER heard any bad comments about those. I often here people saying they sound almost or just as good as 4x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R I think I may be interested. I would appreciate you taking some pics, but I don't want to make you do it if it'll be a major hassle. I want to make it clear though that I'm not making an absolute commitment to buying. Thanks. As of right now I'm still searching for the older type that members like Danyeo, thenakedarab, and SteveVHT have that look like this: Do you remember what they look like?

I'm always looking for different speaker combos to try and have always been interested in those. The only thing putting me off of them is their weight. Rock out on those things and make some clips or let me know how they work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always looking for different speaker combos to try and have always been interested in those. The only thing putting me off of them is their weight. Rock out on those things and make some clips or let me know how they work out. Well, I finally had a chance to try out my Laney Gh50L through my Mesa/Boogie EVM12L Thiele. It really confirmed yet again the reason I bought the Thiele in the first place. It's very clear, so I really felt that the Laney's tone came through uninhibited. I played it through a 4X12 first (Line 6 Flextone II - very underrated cab IMHO) then hooked up the Thiele. Once again, I didn't really miss the 4X12. Granted this was in my studio and not at gig levels, but I cranked it up pretty good. The sound from the Thiele was very full. Maybe not quite as much "coverage" from the thiele (area not frequency) but it sounded huge. Full cleans, medium crunch was very punchy, but not too boomy, higher gains were very full as well. This just cements my opinion that it's hard to find an amp that doesn't mesh with an EVM12L loaded Thiele. Sorry for the GAS induction, but I speak the truth!

Members Macblah-1 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have a Fireball that I run through two EVM12L equipped Mesa Thieles. Sounds huge! I live in an apartment, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mackruk Posted August 1, 2015 Members Share Posted August 1, 2015 hi, I have the opportunity to buy these speakers, I wonder whether this is the same as EVM12l black label. Seller says that they have 300 watts and 8 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
