Bogner 2X12 oversized fits pretty well with my Diezel Einstein. Whatever styles I play (live), I'm always amazed. From metal, djent, Pop/rock to funk and soul they do it all! And pretty well.

Diezel frontloaded with v30´s. The tightest most responsive cab I´ve ever played through. The low end really thumps your chest but it´s never muddy. Very focused and detailed cab. Sounds great with my Hagen and really tightens up my Mesa Roadster.
I also have a old Mesa Rectifier (before they named it Stiletto) Traditional. I love this cab with my Mark series amps. It just adds the right amount of girth to the Marks. The Diezel cab works great with the Marks too, but sounds slightly thinner. Less low lows and low mids it seems like. With the Hagen it´s a bit too bassy and unfocused for me. It sounds good, but I seem to have to roll back the Bass and Deep knobs a lot to get a tight low end. The Hagen is a very different amp through the Diezel cab. It reacts much quicker and seems a lot more balanced and easier to tweak. The Roadster/Traditional combo works great, but I really prefer the Diezel cab with the Roadster..
My Mesa recto 2x12" is also a great cab. Especially for lower volume playing.

My main cab is an EVH 4x12 with Celestion Heritage EVH greenbacks.
I'd like to pick up a Mesa 2x12 with black shadow's as well.

+1 I believe mesa used to call it the traditional sized cab. I have a straightfront cab that's been my go to cab for this application forever now.fluff191":2v6xnmfu said:

Ive had a lot of cabs over the years.... My favorites are The Mesa Stiletto and the Splawn cabs...Both being straight front. The Splawn cabs sound best to me with greenbacks in them but are great cabs regardless.
I have heard Recto cabs that sound great and other ones that sounded flubby. You probably have a good one but the Stiletto cab might be worth having around also. They have a different midrange curve and tight bass.

I've owned just about all of them and
the two that beat them all out are the
Front Loaded Engl Pro 4X12's w/Celestion V30's.
I A/B'd the Engl Pro against the Mesa Recto cab
with the same speakers and the Engl Slaughtered
it!! Everyone that was in the room had the same opinion.
I've A/B'd the cabs with many High Gainers
Bogner XTC101b & Uberschall, Diezel Herbert &
VH4, Wizard Metal, Elmwood Modena M90, Custom
Audio OD100SE+, Splawn Quickrod, and Engl Morse 100 etc...
The result was always the same...The Engl ruled
out the Mesa, every time.
They even beat out a pair of CAA 4X12's loaded
with V30's.

My favorite cabs are the 2x12 & 4x12 cabs built by Peavey in the 80's. My 2x12 has Celestion K85 in it. This probably is my favorite speaker for "metal" flavors or extended bass.
My 4x12 has Celestion V30 on the bottom & H30 on top. This is my favorite cab for everything pretty much....
Tried all the cabs mentioned above except the Cameron. None fit me as good as the vintage Peavey cabs .... They just have great tone for my taste. Better than my vintage Marshall cabs from the 70's & 80's.
Don't tell any one they can be found pretty cheap loaded with K85's....it's a secret.

Install a quad of Scumback Blacback H 60 watters LHDC. Works very well in the UberkabFL. Great across the board and very articulate without being Hifi. My fav Scumbacks and I have tried most of the others. These are better than any of his others for high gain by a long shot imo. No cone cry and stay together at high volume and gain. Tight low end as well.James Lugo":t0fszzv9 said:
