Was wondering if anyone has a 1x12 cab with this speaker. Looking for a good light cab to run my Bogner shiva head with for portability. Just wondering about sound quality compated to a 2x12 with Vintage 30s.

Any advice or experience is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Marc

I should add that I don't have much experience with Cabs at all!

i think the new egnater 1x12 comes with a celestion CL80, but don't quote me on that.

I have a G12H80 in my 1x12 18 Watter combo. The H80 is really similar to the Classic Lead 80 (it was built special for a boutique amp manufacturer, and differs only slightly in frequency response).

Anyway, I love it. I recently A/B'd it against a G12H30 in a Bogner Duende combo (which has a cabinet almost identical in size to my "Marshall". With my amp, I actually preferred the H80 to the H30. I think the CL80 will be a bit clearer, nice clear highs, and probably more lows. Flatter response overall.

I have the WGS 'Classic Lead' version in my 1x12 Marshall 2204 combo after trying the 'Vintage 30' and the EV '12L' speaker. Those 2 didn`t give me the sound i wanted but the WGS 'Classic Lead' does! It`s a fairly loud and well balanced speaker 'EQ wise'. And all the 'reviews' that I have read about WGS and their speakers have been good and that is what led me to order one. I`m very happy with mine.
