I easily have space for 3 amps, but not for 3 4x12"sLuca79":3obv12e1 said:Michael Landau: “People go insane comparing different amps… The cabinet and speakers make far more difference”
This as well. My Marshalls all feel a bit different and my C+ is on a whole other planet. Also, as previously mentioned cabs can take a single amp and turn it into a different beast altogether. I have 7 and counting lolRaceU4her":w2wkjeao said:Yeah it’s more about feel than tone. My 6505+ for example just doesn’t respond to my playing style very well for whatever reason, I don’t feel “connected” to the thing and feel like I’m fighting with the amp if that makes any sense, yet recorded it sounds fine.

I'm in the midst of doing an about-face on my 4x12 stance. For the past number of years, I was content using a 2x12, while my 4x12 collected dust. The thing I never factored into the equation is I thought they had the same speakers, when in fact they didn't. The 2x12 had Mesa Vintage 30s while my Diezel had some other variation that I didn't like as much. I bought a mesa trad 4x12 and love it. Both the 2x12 and Diezel 4x12 are gone. Now I'm on the lookout for another 4x12 or 2, with different speakers.
Not sure what brands yet. Thinking some sort of Marshall and not sure about the third. Likely going to replace the speakers with some vintage greenbacks. I'd also like to try some Scumbacks in the other 4x12. I don't play out and hardly ever move my gear, so why not, right?
