Mesa CabClone

[born_hard]

Is it me or does this cabclone sound like a shitclone? the sound is not only bad , it really hurt my ears.

Yeah and why is the cab mic'd up if they are going DI? For this to be meaningful IMO they should have put a 57 on the cab and then switched between the CC and the mic. This is how I auditioned any of my DI boxes to see which sounds best. By itself with post eq ect. this demo is meaningless.

looks like a great option. i can't drop 7$ on a 2nTl.....the mesa cab clone would be exactly what i need at my current gear budget.

Exactly what I thought too. These demos are a waste of time if you can't A/B the "real" mic with the simulated one. I would do that and then show both the mic and direct clip in context with some reverb/delay. This way you could hear it dry and wet and see if it fit your needs. But alone like this, it either sounds like a mic placement that I would absolutely NOT use for recording or not that impressive at all. I really don't have a reference point from which to make a decision. It is such a basic comparison that it really boggles my mind that more companies wouldn't figure that this is probably the most important demo they can make.

Seems like a good solution for live use, but as previously mentioned, like to hear a comparison to micing an amp that isnt done by Mesa. Not to mention, the official demo wasnt great, but would be practical for live use.

TBH, anything Mesa demos sounds like a wet bag of ass.

True on the Mesa Demos. I have one on order. Can't wait to try it out!

Folks, can i use it - board-> cab clone-> PA speakers to plug my guitar directly to the house?
Also does it load down a tube head?

 

[MESA/Boogie]

The CabClone is connected from the speaker output jack on your amp. With its built-in load you can use it without a speaker cabinet, and use either the DI with cab simulation, or the 1/4" Line Out with non-compensated signal - and also for Silent Practice vias headphones. You can also use the CabClone for Thru Recording - still using the DI out and Line Out - but with a live cab. Thanks!

Man... Sounds like the answer to run english amp beast at church!
