I got 2 of those cabs and i love them. the vintage 30 is a punchy midrange speaker that sounds very good in a closed back cabinet. on my cabinets i have a bright mode and vintage mode. I leave mine on vintage mode cuz it has a nice jazz clean sound and has a nice, fat distortion tone at low volumn.shreder75 said:

cool..thanks again for the info =) I'm going to try closing off the back of my current cab..just to see how it sounds..can't hurt to mess around with it a little..and if I dig it, I probably won't get another cab...but we shall see =)

Shreder, I have a Genz Benz GFlex 212 for my Vetta II HD. Best 2x12 I've found so far for it.

start lookin around for some good used speaker cabs with vintage 30's in them. I think boogie started useing them alot in the 90's. Marshall will make them but they mostly make combo amps or half stacks so you may have to shop used boogie for a used 2/12 cab. I dont know what the wireing configeration is on boogie 2/12 cabs wether they have a bright or vintage switch or not. your in one of the biggest music markets in the world so you should be able to find somthing.

My take is- if you are using a modeling type amp, stick with the Line 6 cabs,that's what they were made for, and the speakers in them are very clean and uncolored. the Vintage 30's, are very midrange intensive, but if you are using a tube amp or a regular ss amp, you may like them.
Personally, I really don't care for the Vintage 30's. but that's just me. Although they sound a heck of alot better in a closed back cab, than an open back one.

I don't really know about the 2X12 but my 4X12 with Vintage 30's kicks ass. I'd think a closed 2X12 with them sound good also.

that's what I'm curious about GUITARIST....how tight I can get the low range while still having it be present, ya know?
we shall see what happens =) I'm playin' right now and it sounds pretty friggin' good..lol..but you know how guitarists are..'maybe it can sound better!!!!'..lol...
anywho, I'm going to try to go direct as much as possible, but not every sound system's going to be as good as the first gig we played, that's for sure..and my guitar player's PA is only so good...we're working men after all..heheh..
so I want something a little tighter to sound better as a monitor as well as for just practice...anywho, I'm more curious than unhappy..I'm not unhappy at all..
and now I'm rambling..lol
anywho, thanks for the input guys..only way to tell is to go to a store and find an amp just like mine and put it through different cabs...

we shall see..like I said, if I dig the results after I close off the back of my line 6 cab, then I'll stick with that..if not, I'm going to see what's out there...play through the b-52 cabs, maybe genz benz (even though my wallet could use a rest) and see what I dig and what I don't...
it's like buying a car..you can ask people what they think of a certain model all day long and get varied results...only way you're going to find out is to take it on a test drive =)
