I got a 2x12 new. They come with clips and wiring to run in series or parallel. Well-built cabs. mine sounds great with a 65-watt Creamback and a GT12T-75.
if you are sticking to a head, I love my JJ jr. Dave mentioned that the new Phil X 3-channel 20 watter will be out at the beginning of the year. Since you have a stereo pair of cabs, you could also go the Synergy Syn2/Syn 50/50 route.
Yep, I run a wdw rig at home and have a detune, Boss DC-2W or SPX90 Symphonic on a lot of the time. Gives a nice spread to your sound. I don’t use it for heavier rhythms though.
You want to have enough spread with your cabs to hear the full effect of wdw. You really want three cabinets to achieve that, be it with 1x12’s, 2x12’s or 4x12’s. Since you already have the 2x12 for your dry signal, I’d probably just get a couple of 1x12’s for your wet cabs. I run Mesa Thiele...
Where Eagles Dare is just an epic opening track on Piece of Mind. adding Die with your boots on, The Trooper and Flight of Icarus and yeah, this is their best album in my opinion.
If you can find an oversized Mesa 3/4 back cab, they are the biggest sounding 1x12 cab I’ve ever heard. For reference I currently have sets of 3/4 back, 1x12 Lonestars, 1x12 Recto cubes and 1x12 Thieles as well as EVH 1x12’s.
I have two Syn2’s loaded with BEBB, Z Wreck, IICP and Uberschall modules (T/DLX and SLO for different flavors as well), I run them through a Fryette PS1 and it sounds glorious. I owned the Randall RM4 and Egnater M4 years ago. The Synergy stuff is the pinnacle of these type of systems.
RIP Prince of Darkness. Blizzard was the second album I ever bought back in 82’. Made me an instant Rhoads fan and started playing guitar two years later. Loved all his guitarists over the years.
My experience is with Greenbacks but the difference between the same version of a UK Celestion and Chinese Celestion is about the same as the difference between two UK versions of the same speaker.
A couple of iRig 2 interfaces and GarageBand with an iPad Air and headphones. Just getting back into recording so I didn’t want to make a big investment for now.
