Members meadows.83 Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Cobra Cab really is a great match for the Cobra if you want metal tones.. Framus did a Great job designing the Perfect Cabs for there amplifiers. The Dragon cab just rules for the Head. Splawns are really nice if you want a Rear loaded cab, probably the best out there IMO.Greenbacks work the best with this head but V30's can give you a nice middy rhy. tone as well if you use the Lead Channel. Thank you, Guitarman967. I think I'm either going to go with the Dragon cab (I know it has v30's), or a Splawn with greenbacks. I don't really know the difference between front loaded and rear loaded cabs with regards to sound. Could you clear this up for me? Thanks.

Members Chrisjd Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 What do you guys think would sound better, the cobra cab or the splawn cab with greenbacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurityS.L.G. Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Cobra cab FTW man. You can get one for a great price if you shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnaxSlingerAns Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hopefully, soon, I'll be loading my front loaded Diezel 4x12 with Greenbacks, in essance making a "super" Cobra cab, basically. -Ans- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAbomb12 Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I want a cobra cab, but can't find anyone selling one...(used) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chemh0ser Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I haven't tried the Cobra cab or any cab with Greenbacks, but I use a Mesa 2x12 with V30s and it sounds pretty damn good. No amount of bass dialed in on the cobra causes it to fart out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman967 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 That pic is from a while ago. Today the Rig looks like this. Since the Cobra has the same size headshell, I interchange..Here's the Signal Path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chemh0ser Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 guitarman, why did you stop using the cobra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman967 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 guitarman, why did you stop using the cobra? I still have it and I still use it but I have a {censored}load of amps and for this rig the Dragon's Sends for the FX loop do not need to be set anywhere near as high as the Cobra's to sound good so it works a bit better for this rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarman967 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2008 where did you get the case? Is it tough moving it around/transporting it? Just going up stairs haha..Its not as heavy as it looks incredibly:freak: But yeah it can be a nuisance. I've been in too many different bands so I had to have alot of tones but I know that thing is insane to most people haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAbomb12 Posted January 20, 2008 Members Share Posted January 20, 2008 I got another notched lead setting for you guys... Lead Channel- Notch Engaged Gain = 12:00 Pres = 3:00 C.Vol = 2:00-3:00 Bass = 9:00 Mid = MAX Treble = 3:00 Depth = 2:00-3:00 the low bass, and maxed mids counter act the ridiculous amount of mid cut the notch produces; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in too many different bands so I had to have alot of tones but I know that thing is insane to most people haha Right with ya on the nuisance part. Although I've only ever once played a show that had stairs ever. Don't plan on it ever again. BTW Good read. I love my cobra more everytime I turn it on.

Members rockitsauce Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well, I went to check the bias with my bias rite. It wont work. You cant get the chassis out without removing the blocks on the back of the headshell. Imma have to find my meter and use the leads on the back. Ruby power tubes though! Seldom do I end up with an amp with good tubes in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Illuminatus Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 You cant get the chassis out without removing the blocks on the back of the headshell. But its only two little pieces of wood with four screws, you already took off the backplate. Asuming were talking about the same thing, maybe ours are different.

Members rockitsauce Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 I thought they were glued on and so I didnt wanna mess with it. Lemme take another look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Illuminatus Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 I thought they were glued on and so I didnt wanna mess with it. Lemme take another look. Speaking about gluing, that chassis was a bitch to pull, I actually had to pry it from the bottom with butterknives(both ends), then flathead screwdrivers to loosen it up within the headshell, must be something with the tolex, it was like someone superglued it inside. Secondly, the whole faceplate comes out too, and its a bit tight in there, so overall its a bitch, but easier after the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Les-Zombie Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 since guitarman967/joel unlocked the mystery of the cobra can we get him to unlock the mystery of a few other things like the detachable PENIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockitsauce Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hmm, I agree. That chassis was a PITA to get out. I smelled a slight burned smell inside the chassis when I flipped it over. I looked at it, couldnt see anything looking burnt or anything. I checked out the tubes 30-32 mA for all of em. Good to go I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterwards, of couse, there was a much easier way that dawned on me. Of course, If I can remember it for next time......that will be key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockitsauce Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 The problem was that the faceplate gets caught on the upper corner protectors. Or at least for me. I took them off and it went in easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
