Anyone played the 212 and 412 side by side? How does the 212 stack up to the 412?
 
Good question Matt but probably not a ton of answers here. In our experience, most guys tend to be 412 OR 212 players. It's not what I'd call common to have guys who run both. But we certainly have had quite a few so just email me and I'll give you some contacts, if you'd like.

IMO, the difference is about what you'd expect....a bit tighter with smaller "footprint of dispersion" , not quite as "room filling" as the big 412, but a powerful, articulate, crushing little monster, nonetheless. And certainly easier on the back muscles.
 
I guess another good question is what application are you planning on using the cab for? Gigging? Basement jamming with friends? Bedroom solo player?
I have a friend who gigs about twice a month and he has always been a strong 4x12 advocate. He now leaves his 4x12's at home since he picked up a certain 2x12 that he loves.
 
I love the Mills 412. I own one - I made the mistake of selling off the other one. :doh: I was thinking of going 2 Mills 212s to run my Axe FX in stereo.

I ended up just ordering another 412 from Mills a few minutes ago. I won't make the mistake of selling one again.

Mills is doing free shipping on cab orders through 4/15 :thumbsup:

Thanks again Dave :rock:

was wondering when you were going to come to your senses Matt. ;)

cool to hear about the free shipping Dave, I was planning on ordering another AB412 in the next couple months. Looks like I'm going to have to try and move the date up now! :thumbsup:

Thanks Eric. In spite of the crappy economy we had a great 2009. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Fire when ready sir. :rock:

Hey Eric

Long time, no see.

I guess it was about time I righted a wrong. The force is now balanced, or at least will be in another month or so. :lol: :LOL:

hey brother, yeah, haven't been around much. With the move, and packing/unpacking, it's kept me pretty busy. I'll give you a call later so we can catch up though, I need to hear your thoughts on the AxeFX too. :rock:

Cool.

I'm not 100% sold on it being as good as tubes yet, but I'm sure I'll get there. It does live up to the hype
 
I have the 4x12 and it's hands down the best 4x12 I've ever owned. It will not ever be sold. :rock:
