Hey all,
So GAS has recently struck again and I decided to pull the trigger on a Diezel 212FV. Unfortunately, it got dropped/damaged in shipping and is going back to the seller for a refund. However, I'm starting to to wonder if it's a sign, lol - now I'm kind of debating between trying again on the 2x12, or wondering if I should have just gone for the 4x12? Also thinking of going w/K100s instead of V30s..
As this is a a dedicated Diezel subforum, I'm just curious for some opinions from those who have played through both the 212F and 412F cabs when it comes to tone? I was thinking the 2x12 would be more practical choice overall for my needs, but it's honestly the biggest 2x12 I've ever seen and possibly the heaviest too - combined with the lack of a top handle, I couldn't help but feel it wasn't really going to be much easier to move around than the 4x12 version. But at this point, my primary question comes down to the sound - I've heard the 2x12 is great and among the biggest sounding 2x12s out there, but it's more likely I'll be mainly using it as a home/studio use cab, so I'm not opposed to the 4x12 if it's worth it for the sound, since I won't be moving it around much.
Also, is the front-load the way to go if I want to use it strictly for modern high gain tones? I also own a Bogner rear-load 412ST w/V30s (great cab!) and a Mojotone 2x12 w/a 3-piece back (also nice, and fairly light), so I thought I might try something different for a bit more tonal variety.
Thanks!
