I mean, maybe for you? Sounds like boomer talk to me.

If something is not the way you want it and can easily be made the way you want it, and is totally reversible, what's the issue?

God this forum is weird sometimes. Haha.

Nah. I actually play shows and live venues with my gear, walls are not plentiful on stages. Haha.

Well from your video`s it doesnt look like that would be an amp that you would use anyways. Boomer talk?

I believe there would be a wall behind you on that 10x20 stage, if their even that big.

A jmp? I've used 2203/2204 and other 800 circuits on my channel multiple times. Did I offend you because I said I play my gear out and there aren't walls for me to lean the amp against at most venues? You can assume the stages I play all you like, doesn't bother me one bit.
 
Any Stone Age cab owners out there that can vouch for them? How do they compare against say a Friedman/Bogner or other popular 212? I'm mostly a 412 guy who has recently jumped into the 212 arena. I currently own a couple Orange 212 cabs, a few of the EVH cabs, a Mesa Rectifier 212 and a Randall 212CBV30. I guess I'm looking for a 212 that would fit these black backs well and not sound small/boxy as some 212s can.
 
Im not talking leaning the amp on the wall, put it against it. It will act like a close back cabinet. All I was trying to say.

UberschallEL34 (member in here)has dealt wtih Stoneage. He claims they are the hands down best cabs he's heard and used.
 
I had a Stone Age oversized 2x12 and ran it open back. Is was very solid but it didn't sound like my 4x12s and had the same footprint so I sold it. Look for a used one, they come up.

Cool amp, do what you want with it. I like Blackbacks but I wouldn't know what to sell them for. With all the cabs you have I prob wouldn't go for a dedicated cab, I'd just use one I had. But I do that with some amps too.
 
You got J.Lo's ass hangin' & seepin' through
that crack..those Blackbacks..BEAST mode.
Think of the F'n pummeling those drivers have
undergone..same with J.Lo's ass over the last 3 decades..
Ya hear?

Mount the 2104 into a sourmash headshell and convert it to a 2204. Buy a stoneage oversized 2x12 and put the speakers in it. Sell the oem combo headshell. Rock out with your cock out.

This. Easier sell if you part with it. Shipping a 2x12 combo sucks, and so does buying one and hoping it makes it in one piece.

My brother bought a '79 2x12. He HAD to have it.. Cabinet got all fucked up in transit and he put it in a Mojotone 2x12 combo, and plugs into his EVH 4x12. Go figure. I told him to just make it a head, he doesn't listen. Dumb.
 
Ok, tbh,
I've done this type of "conversionism"
to two JCM 800 vertical imput combo's.
Yeah, it was cool..but not worth the time
and money in the end.
I've learned...hold out for the head.

I say, pull those BlackM'fer's out of there,
swipe up some 65's or in the vintagey' speaker
realm (75's, etc) and install those in there.
And since it's squeaky clean chassis wise
you can pull back what you invested in it.

But there's one more thang'...
You got J.Lo's ass sitting home waiting on you
when you come back home from selling the
amplifier to the next dude.
HUSTLE.
