Hi all.
I just got a Wizard MC yesterday.
I've listen to a bunch of youtube videos which made me interested in this amp, but without being 100% "sold" on it.
I essentially only got it because I managed to get it in a trade for my Bogner Ecstasy.
Anyhow, holy brown sound marsh@ll batman mother f!@#%$ this is the first amp in my life that puts a huge smile on my face, in the first minutes!
This amp needs to be played to fully understand it's greatness!
And that's with a pretty decent amp history as well (2204, Bogner XTC, Friedman Smallbox, Soldano SLO and Hot Rod 50, Mesa Mark V, Peavey 6505+, Engl e530, JCM 2000, etc. to name a few)
This amp is a keeper for sure and I've only got to tried it through my OX Top Box (Greenbacks IR)...
Therefore, I'm now on the lookout for a 4x12 straight cabinet with greenbacks, creambacks or greenbacks/V30s combo. No sure which speakers combination to go with.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Now are the Wizard cabinet worth the price of entry? They are possibly the most expensive cab one could get....
Cab idea :
-Wizard 412 (most expensive of the bunch. Can't find any. Has to be purchased new.)
-Friedman 412 (Greenbacks / V30s)
-Marshall 1960BX (Possibly the cheapest option here since can be found easily on the used market)
-Avatar brand new... (Possibly the best bang for the buck.. but are these as good as the Wizard or Friedman?...)
-Anything else???
