I've had a few 212s over the years. But I tend to like bigger 212s. My favorite was this comically massive Aftershock 212 that I had for a while. Vader was alright, a little small sounding. Earcandy Buzzbomb was cool if you like ported. I think overall the best ones were the Avatar OS...
Super unscientific video, but I have both of these cabs here for the week before I move them around to my practice spots. I also have another 412 and a 212 that you can't see lol. But yeah, just fuckin around while no one is home.
Mark V into trad cab with V30s (these were the V30s from like...
This just isn't really how speaker cabs work in real life. Each speaker does not put out the same frequencies. Each one will sound slightly different. On top of that, you will ALWAYS have some room resonance happening. You can close mic a 412 in different rooms and hear this. You can mic 15-20CM...
We did a couple of them around 2009/2010 here in Orlando, but they sorta dropped off after those. I think organizing can be tough. But it would be great to do it again.
There’s a reason everyone uses this combination and method, and it’s not from lack of experimentation. If 10” speakers were the best for this, that would be the “V30” that everyone uses, but the fact is they simply aren’t.
Thanks dudes!!
I think this shirt was a 2022 tour shirt. Super comfy haha.
Nice! I actually just returned a V35 because the el84s make it too squishy feeling to feel like a mark. The JP is great, too. Tried getting one earlier this year from GC but it had some kinda noise issue that the techs...
Yeah nice! For sure a super different anal from the VTM. By the time I got mine, I’d already gotten my first 6505 212 combo and moved away from the JSX kinda tone.
Hell yeah dude!! JSX was my dream amp all through college but I was too poor to get one. Eventually joined a band where the other guitar player had one and I got to play it all the time.
I prefer the combo to the head. The OG head has a massive low end and a ton of aggression, but that low end is overpowering and loose, IMO. The 5152 fixes that, but loses some of that aggression. The combo sits in between. Retains some of the aggression, but has a much tighter and well defined...
Thanks for checking it out dudes!
I’ve had 3 IVs, a VII, and 3 JP’s in addition to the V25 and V I had 10-ish years ago, and so far this has been the best one. Really impressed this time around!
