Crate Blue Voodoo 4X12

[75lespaul]

Has anyone here owned one and compared it to another cab like a Marshall or Avatar or something? I've got one with G12H30s and V30s in an X pattern but I'm not in love with the sound of any amp I put through it anymore. It sounds okay when using overdrive or distortion pedals with an amp at reasonable volumes, but when you dime an amp like a non-master Univox or Marshall, it sounds....Not that good. Could it be I just don't like the speaker combo? I love the same speakers in my Earcandy Buzzbomb. I've never compared it side by side with another cab so I'm looking to see if anyone here has. Thanks everyone.

any opinions then straight up on the Blue Voodoo without comparisons? :laugh2:

Please don't worry about offending me. If you think its sound sucks, let me know.

Come on!

You are comparing a Buzzbomb (Custom tuned cabinet) with one made on an assembly line.

It's no contest.

LOL...true, true.

But compared to OTHER assembly line cabs, how does it "stack" so to speak :laugh2:

Whatever you do, just don't go with Earcandy. Overpriced, horrible service, and 3-4x the wait period they quote.


I've played through one... It just felt cheap, sounded cheap, even with V30's. A 1960AV would be a much, much better cabinet, and a Bogner, Mesa, Splawn, VHT, Rivera, etc... cabinet will absolutely crush it.
