I have a couple Engl pro4x12 v30s, they are about the best if not the best v30 cab out there. How they would sound with ur head though I don't know, but I haven't yet found an amp it doesn sound good with.
 
Definitely some interest in an Engl Pro but none nearby and I'd rather not spend that much on something brand new unless I got to play it first and new it was a good choice.

I have also considered 2x12 but the only one I played was an Orange and tbh I thought it sounded like shit.

Anyone know anything about those ISP sub cabs?

I've never heard of a beam blocker. They seem cool from what I'm reading, which VHT cab has this? I had a D412 and it sounded great but it was just too tight and too directional.

While the D412 and the UberKab are completely and totally different 4x12 cabinets, the "other" cab I've used and "do" use with my Ubers is the D412 with its stock P50e speakers. Takes a while for it to break in - man, my finger was on the "buy button" for some replacement cones, but under the advice of some decent knowledgable peeps I just kept at it, and that cab is still with me today. AND, as mentioned, interestingly enough, meshes well with the Uberschalls I have for whatever reasons I can't quite describe.

Fryette's "stuff" - amps, cabs, power amps - I swear it's some of the finest gear out there at great prices and totally underrated. The guy's a mastermind and a maniac about sonic engineering and detail. So it goes :dunno:

Useless input!! Just saying...

I feel the same way l but their customer service sucks bad. Also, really hard to maintain anything, as they accept in house repairs only.this comes from a 20 year user of their gear. It used to be different Jme

I get what you're saying and honestly wish I had kept it. I got it for a STEAL although a made a decent profit on the sale.

I didn't like the P50's really so I put Chinese V30's and WGS 75's in it. I later needed money so I sold it.

After the deal was set I put the P50's in one last time and plugged it into my Pitbull and was stunned. Idk if it was subliminal from not wanting to sell but I really was like damn I don't want to sell this.

I can't explain why I didn't like it before vs why I did when I went to sell but I do know that when I ran the full stack with the stock D cab and my Peavey cab with the V30 X 75 it was the most amazing tone ever.

It wasn't feasible to lug the full stack around plus the other guitarist in my band had a cheap cab and a solid state amp at the time and I was blowing him away as it was. It was bad for the mix.

Anyway such a long post my apologies. I guess my point is I do miss that D cab and would definitely give it another run for the right price. GC has a couple but for their price not even counting shipping and considering the condition they are in does not appeal to me at all.

Maybe I'll see one soon.
