Anything front loaded will tighten things up.......
Sorry for the ignorance, but can someone explain that to me? Am looking for a cab, and what I would dig is something tight and aggressive.
Is there a reason front-loaded cabs are more like this?
Front loaded is like trying to yell to your friend across a loud room, rear loaded is like when you cup your hands around your mouth to direct the sound so that more of it goes straight to your friend and not dispersed into the room around you.
The major thing with front loaded cabs is that they disperse more evenly, so there is a wider "viewing angle" if you will. While if you are outside of the "viewing angle" for a rear loaded cabinet, the sound can seem muddy and lacking in clarity. Try kneeling down in front of the rear loaded cab though, and your perspective of the tone might change. Rear loaded are just more directional is all, but the cabinet design also plays a larger part in the sound than in front loaded designs.
