So its down to one of these 3. Diezel,Bogner of EVH.
what say you ?
 
What amp and music style ? My favourite is Bogner straight.
 
I have owned all 3 you mentioned and my favorite out of those is the Diezel Rearloaded ... I also tried the frontloaded diezel which sounded small in comparison .
 
Not on your list but used Mesa Trad slant $450

don't want another slant. I don't like mesa cause they use 8 ohm speakers. I already have 3 cabs all loaded with 16 ohm speakers and when I go to swapping speakers I want to be able to pull from any cab.

I had Masotti X3M/Slave100 (Mezza predecessor) and it worked best with Bogner. I also recommend V30/GB mix. It is not such tight like Diezels or VHT's (still tight enough) but I find it most musical. I have Scumback J75 on top in mine and it is fantastic for 80's / hardrock music.

Makes sense. Good luck. :thumbsup:
 
I have a few 4x12's
All of the ones you called out to.
Bogner Helios is so good I bought 2 of them.
BUT the EVH cab is well built. Sounds great and doesn't cost over a $grand$
 
Pretty much all my stuff goes through FL UberKabs now. I love the oversized 20thAnniverary RL 412 by Bogner (V30 @ 16ohm) as it just fills the room, has glorious depth and tone, warm, just a really beautiful sounding cab. I dig the FL K100 412 by Diezel - definitely holds its ground. Thunderous.

But - and maybe I'm just getting tired of "trying" different cabs for jams and gigs - I put most of my amps through FL UberKabs and the music played is clean to brootz. The cab NEVER gets bogged down, it's fucking nuclear, holds incredible bass, and has a nice "balance" with the T75/V30 mix. I dunno, just seems to be "my overall cab of overall choice". I also dig the multi-mic setup as I've got a couple different cones to use, and of them, different mic positions per pair.

If I had to choose just ONE cab, it would *likely* be the UberKab.

Never heard of a Bogner oversized 4x12 20th cab....enlighten me
 
Bogner front loaded Uberkab or Diezel front loaded V30 cab.
I have both, and have used both with my old VH4. Can't go wrong with either.
The VH4 sounded muffled through my old EVH Stealth cab.
 
I myself have a Bogner UberKab FL and Diezel 412 FL both loaded with identical speakers and am happy with both. The Diezel is a bit tighter and more laser like, while the UberKab is still very tight, but sounds bigger/fills the room more, feel less stiff, maybe a bit darker sounding, and I think more versatile than the Diezel
 
I ended up going with a Diezel RL with V30's . I wanted to try the FL but since I can't hear it first I decided to go with real loaded since thats what I'm used to. It's an expensive PITA to ship a cab back.
 
Congrats on Diezel cab.
How is attached front baffle on Diezel cabs ? Glued-in like Bogner ?
