Members cqc6 Posted April 25, 2006 Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hey, The QuickRod sounded great with the Genz-Benz G/Flex. After talking with Scott Splawn alot- and taking some advice I just decided to order 2 cabs. I am going to put the new cabs to a full test the day after tomorrow. I hope they kick ass. i am almost sure they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been considering pulling the trigger on a 4x12 splawn slant...so the sound travels better to my ear at a gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AmpliFIRE Posted April 25, 2006 Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 Nothing can beat the tone of a broken in cab!!! My 76' Orange and 71' Marshall cabs are my seceret weapon. Honestly, they're as important to my sound as the amp itself . Both of these cabs have 30' watt Greenbacks in them, and they excel at any kind of rock/metal. They're extremly tight for rhyhtm playing and just flat out sing for leads. I run the QR through these 2 cabs in stereo, and it's truly a killer setup.My 80's Marshall cab has a bit more edge to it than the other 2, but it sounds great as well.

Members BeauNasty Posted April 25, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 Do you guys want a good laugh??? Everyone is going to throw up... That "Splawn" cabinet in my rig pic is actually a Line6 cab with custom 80w Celestions. That mother {censored}er gets more bottom end than Craig's Splawn 4x12. Scott sent me an extra Splawn nameplate so I could fake a match. Now...all you tubeheads go ahead and rip me a new ass, but I'm telling you, that Line6 cabinet sounds {censored}in' awesome. I run it in stereo and wreak havoc on any ears within drinking distance. Bwaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha! I bought a Classic Cases 4x12 road case built for a Marshal 1960 for the cab, and it fit beautifully. Shreder...what's with the 11:00 gain in 3rd gear? Are you afraid your {censored} is going to drip down your leg if you try the gain @ 3:00??? Gain @ 3:00 is like guitaral masturbation... I use 3rd gear for rhythm and hit the lead boost for solos. The only time I jump out of 3rd gear is for the intro in Hells Bells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think line 6 makes a good cab actually..it's their amps I have issues with..tee hee..but they have their place as well... my fingers are so fiendishly metal that I don't need any more gain than 11:00...my guess is you gotta make up for those anemic dimarzios you're using BAHAHahaHaHahaHA.... seriously though..the clip of miracle man I have in my sig was done on third gear, OD 1 with the gain at around 2:00 or so... I like to mess with first gear at home..but I always end up on third gear at gigs...sounds bigger to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, your 2:00 with overdrive might actually have hairier balls than my 3:00 without it. I recant any statements previously made about your drippy {censored}, Shreder.

Members Boogieman Posted April 26, 2006 Members Share Posted April 26, 2006 were you playing the oversized recto cab with v30s?...if so, that cab sucks ass to begin with..the traditional recto with v30's sounds WAY better...but even then, i like the framus cab more...cab construction really makes a difference to me...i guess that's why scott mods marshall cabs...because for metal, i hate stock marshall cabs..they sound like they are gonna explode in the back...whompy as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are Eminence. 50 watts each. I've read somewhere they're kind of a v'30 's clone. Don't know if it's true, though. VHT cab's are front loaded, and this is another factor to be considered, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dogmikael Posted April 26, 2006 Members Share Posted April 26, 2006 The only cab i compared my VHT with is a laney GL 4x12" with HH Invaders which sounded worse...more treble and upper mids in the laney, and a muddiest and "boxed" sound. A/B using the same head the VHT won...but the laney isn't that great so this should not be a great surprise. I heard front loaded cab have a brighter tone compared to rear loaded ones, but i'm not the right person to talk about this...there's a lot of people with a lot more knowledge than myself in this Forum...

Members Gitfiddler Posted April 26, 2006 Members Share Posted April 26, 2006 I played through one of those Metaltronix M-1000 heads yesterday. At the time, those were the {censored} among 80's guitarheads (Gilbert, Wylde, the guy in Loudness, etc). It has a good 80's tone, but once i got it dialed in and was playing, the first thing that came to mind was "the Quickrod kills it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
