I'd be wondering what the serial was for the older 412 with straight shell and slanted baffle. It might be the more desirable early 2000's cab with the slightly darker V30s. If you had the number I could tell you if it was from that era. Those OG 3-channels can sound glorious too. It looks...

IMO SOH has much better sound quality. I love the songs on RIB but I tend to prefer darker tones, and RIB is the opposite. However, when I hear the word "thrash" I instantly think of the RIB tone/mix.

If the cab is a 412 with mono 16ohm and stereo 8ohm plugs but does not have a 4ohm switch, then you can always run two cables. You can run each cable from a 4ohm tap into each side of the 8ohm stereo cab. I used to run like this with my single rectifier going into a switchless cab that was...

Will it make my tone smell better?

You can remove the stock shim to make it 12, and then use floyd shims(the ones with holes for the screw to pass through) to bump the outers up a hair. They are tone-suckers, but if you only use one or two of the .2mm shims it is really not enough to notice. Use one under the 5th string saddle...

First, what cab are you trying to run from it? There might be a simpler solution.

My favorites are War Ensemble and Spirit In Black.

So boring imo. I'll take satch, vai, friedman, ect,... even young jason becker over malmsteen anyday.

Great job on all those songs IMO.

The new Nile must sound muddy as hell, since he uses an Invader in the bridge. (sarcasm)

Do you mean Joe like PRS because he a sissy?

$1400 is a good deal on a used 412 now? Oh that is shipped, and that is likely a few bills right there.

What is Joe favorite guitar? What is Bill favorite guitar? What is Mike favorite guitar?

X2N whips ass!

Yes and also they can be EQ'd and/or boosted to probably get quite close to one another. Even a bunch of stock revGs will likely all sound slightly different from each other.

I'd say get the scary, because it is the instant do-it-yourself and reversible mod that can be used on many other amps also, so it's hard to go wrong with that.

IDK, you might get more out of them now if you do want to sell. I got a bunch of the sqaure beijing type from Nesstone a few years ago. Right before all the madness started with covid and wars. I also scored a bunch of the old mesa 420 coke-bottle 6L6 for cheap. They are one of the best tubes...

Did it sound good, or was it too dark and muffled?
