    Jeezus, stiff mids and tight bottom. That's what every metal head wishes their cab would sound like out of the box!!! Well, until it loosens up to no mids and tight bottom...

      Don't EVH cabs have Greenbacks or at least something in the same ball park? Maybe you can try a cab with greenbacks or buy a greenback-like like speaker to try in your current cab.

        Hey, this tread is not much current interest to me anymore, but it doesn't hurt whomever likes to share their ideas, of course, There are very few 112 and 212 greenback cabs, probably due to power handling considerations. Nothing I see that is both reasonably priced and good quality. I surely would get the EVH 412 if I could afford, but whether that suits my apartment situation is doubtful. When I say greenbacks I mean M Greenbacks.

          MIUK Greenbacks with an EVH sticker slapped onto the back. And a lower price tag.

            FWIW, I owned the EVH 2x12 cabinet with my JVM and that cabinet sounded terrible. The cabinet dimensions are too small and the 70th Anniversary speakers were incredibly bright and beamy with any volume above bedroom levels.
            Not only was everything moved to the China plant, but Celestion still uses the same parts. The only difference is where the speaker is assembled. Fun fact, the China plant has always had a lower defect rate than the UK plant.

            Scumbacks are an excellent choice as well.
