New cabinet day

[ThisDyingSoul76]

Picked up a Line 6 4x12 cab today.

First thoughts : probably mdf, crappy Line 6 speakers... likely changing the speakers out

After opening the cab : surprised to find PLYWOOD!!! Still convinced the Line 6 speakers are crappy

After connecting my Egnater Rebel 30 : sounds amaze balls... friend pointed out the speakers are probably voiced for flat response since the cab was intended for a modelling amp and I'm hearing what my amp actually sounds like x4.

Jury is still out on the speakers, but still might like to put celestions or some similar speakers.

Which model cabinet is it?

Re: New cabinet day

I'm not sure.

It's a compact enclosure, black grill cloth, slanted top, no piping along the grill. I assume it's the cab intended for the Spider series amps. I only paid $180 Canadian.

Re: New cabinet day

Is it stereo
Most line 6 cabs I have seen are 2x2 not 4 at once

Re: New cabinet day

Why would they do that? Are their heads stereo?

I doubt they're getting "flat" response out of a box with four giant paper midranges. It would be a lot easier for them to build a cabinet, model it digitally, then use that model to develop algorithms to make it sound like the target cab/combo. They're probably counting on feeding into something "flat" only for things like a mixer/line/headphone out.

If it's the Spider cab, those "flat response" speakers are rebadged Celestion Seventy 80's.

Yeah it's a stereo only cab, but I plug my Main and Ext outputs into it to get all 4 speakers mono.

The Line 6 heads are stereo. They just seemed to assume the only people who will use their cabs are Line 6 owners.

Interesting. I'll have to look into that further.
