HB 4X12: arrives

[Mikelamury]

I got my Harley Benton 4x12 today and rearranged the amps and finally plugged in and was really impressed. I didn't think 4 speakers would sound that much different than 2 but it sounds a lot more focused on the low end and just more full overall and of course louder! The mark v sounds awesome going through the 4x12 on the lead channels today. Can't believe I waited so long to try a 4x12 I've been missing out...

Oh yeah I put a NOFX tapestry over the grille.

I love 4x12's. I think it's common misconception from people to think they're just bigger in the bass than smaller cabs. They actually just have a deeper bass, meaning more of the good chunky lows and less of the stuffy/muddy lower mids. But not only that. The high-end is much more open and airy. They just open up to both ends of the frequency spectrum.

I have never tried a 1x12 that didn't sound mega dull in the highs compared to a 4x12 (equipped with similar speakers).

I'm one of those jackasses that's like 4x12 or death, LOL. They just plain sound better, IMO.

I do have a 1x12 to practice at home. But I really miss my 4x12 with Greenbacks that I left in Mexico.

It's nice to see there are Katana owners who also kept their tube amps. That's a nice wall of tone.

​​​​​Rock on!

I have a Katana, and still have my Mesa, too.

I also have a katana 110 bass amp that is absolutely fantastic amp for both recording and performance. So many different features and solid effects. I wish they would have made their guitar katana as badass as the bass katana but to be fair the bass katana came out after the guitar version. The reason I haven't bought a bass tube amp is because the bass katana 110 is so awesome I don't think anything else would compare in terms of versatility. It's a 60 watt amp with a 10" Speaker they also make a 160 watt version with two 10" speakers.

Love the NOFX tapestry in front of your pedalboard. That's really Punk AF.

Oh, and congrats on the cab, glad you find if suits the Mk.V well!
