it's raining cabs

Re: it's raining cabs

Put these guys in the living room so I can play while I watch family guy. Honestly, I could sell it all and get by on this. I mean I'm not going to, but I could.


I love the V30s in my Orange but I'm extremely impressed by these Swamp Thangs...


I know it does not matter, but that amp & cab even looks good 2gether ;)

And again, i am very happy with my Swamp Thangs too.

I just want to know what Genz Benz did to kick my Swamp Thangs butt. (in the low end dept)
Is it the cab design, or their speaker itself ?
 
Re: it's raining cabs

They are pretty bass-heavy speakers... Is yours one of those ported Genz Bens? Those ported cabs have a lot of extra fat.

YUP, i have one of these . . . and is now actively looking for more :

Re: it's raining cabs

The store I used to work at had a GFlex 412 & 100w El Diablo head for a long time. That thing would tickle the bottom of your feet when you'd palm mute. In retrospect the ported 412 and Satanic head should've made me buy them but I was young and dumb. I didn't even have any Les Pauls yet.

Re: it's raining cabs

I've never even seen a 4x12 G-Flex, but I can't imagine. I actually considered putting my Swamps in my G-Flex for a minute, rationality got the best of me and I never tried it. With the stock speakers I pair it with my uberklone randall and B or A tuned guitars.

I can kill medium sized animals.


That Green cab is... for realz, I'm ****ing jealous.
 
Re: it's raining cabs

Haha thanks man. You probably remember me posting green full stacks in every "dream amp" thread we've had for the past decade. I always figured some day i'd pull the trigger and have some Electrics built.... Never couldve dreamed I'd get a real Matamp from the early 90s. I had set aside the cash to buy a guitar I have on layaway but when I saw the ad for the Matamp I knew it was "now or never" so I said **** it and took the plunge. It will be the last 4x12 I ever sell besides the Sunn model T 4x12... And only because my hippie sister painted the Sunn and i'll never get more than $150 for it :smokin:

So yeah. Got the Goatsnake head... Got the High on Fire cab... I've pretty much cured my GAS. I would like real vintage Matamps in Orange and Green to match my cabs but... No rush there :smokin:
 
Re: it's raining cabs

I know none of you really give a **** but:


IT SOUNDS SO GOOD. Model T head is pushing the Orange, Green, Emperor and model T cab. Univox head is pushing the Sunn Beta 412. Bassman is pushing the 2x15. I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

I'M SORRY . . . WHAT DID YOU SAY ?

CAN'T HEAR YOU !!!
 
Re: it's raining cabs

You have a green LP Special and SG-X now? Sweet. Do you still have the LP Custom?

I love the thump of big stacks too, but now you need a van or pickup. The catch 22 is that gas is so expensive for a big vehicle, you won't have any money for more cabs! haha
 
Re: it's raining cabs

I'll bet that sounds all warm and crunchy - like a freshly toasted bacon sammich.

That is, if bacon sammiches could, like, make you go deaf.

Rock on. :headbang:

Yeah I scored that Special a couple of years back... And the 87 Custom isn't going anywhere for a long, long time.

I've been thinking about that. I need a big, luxurious custom 70s van.

Warm and thick. It's more like a double Bacon cheeseburger.
 
Re: it's raining cabs

Suffering from insomnia so I figured I'd add some pix for you guys:



The Sunn cabs are 4ohms each and the model T tops out at 2ohms so I use the Orange at 4ohms to push the other 4 cabs :smokin:

But the model T 4x12 and Emperor 2x12 are probably going to be replaced by this guy as soon as I can figure out how to move it from my apartment to my jam space:


I'm trying to sell a lot of my excess gear right now so I can just buy the next Green Matamp head that comes up for sale when I have the money. The dude with one on Reverb.com doesn't want to trade plus cash for any of my gear :(
 
Re: it's raining cabs

Steve Alysis was looking for an Emperor cab a while back if you're selling it.

6x12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!11
