I'm sure there's a thread somewhere on here, but here's the question anyway..
I've got the Axe-ii with a Matrix GT1500. I'm mostly a bedroom player however when I do play in the bedroom, I've usually got my current Matrix NL212 sitting on the bed so that I get a more directional sound coming at me. Whilst I know this is not ideal for all the obvious reasons, what I'm curious to know is, is there any tonal compromise between a vertical 2x12 vs horizontal one? Is one typically 'beefier' than the other?
I do from time to time play with a band or have a jam with a mate, and naturally, I stand a few metres away from it all so that I can hear it all. I might also ad, not a big fan of open-back cabs, I prefer closed back.
I also understand that to really compare apples with apples, one should A/B two similar cabs, like a Mesa 2x12 horizontal with a Mesa 2x12 vertical, or ENGL with an ENGL - not an Orange with a Marshall.
A part of me is leaning towards a vertical 2x12 ATM because it will purely be for the Axe set-up. I do have the existing Matrix 2x12 for both the Axe, and for my tube head.
Any input is welcomed guys.. Any recommendations?
Cheers
