Okay, I've been really narrowing down some options for a second cab purchase to compliment my current rig: Ultra--Mesa 2:90--2x12 recto vert cab w/v30's.
Here's my sitch: not for live/gigging purposes. Purely for my own Gratuitous ear pleasure in the house. I know the stereo thing is not everyone's bag, but love it anyway. I do realize that for 'true stereo imaging' you need physical space separating the two cabs. And I know that this is all 'overkill' in terms of power
The reason I'm looking for a second cab is that my v30's sound great for high gain, but lacking in the cleans. so I am thinking of a second cab to compliment and bring forth the cleans a bit better. Here are my considerations: (would love input on this)
I know the following is all Mesa products...the point again is for me to have a second cab that will help bring out the cleans.
1) 212 - Mesa road king (comes loaded with one v30 & c90--the side with the c90 has an open panel on the back) or...
2) 212 - Mesa tuned 3/4 back loaded with C90's. or...
3) 212 - Lonestar cab also loaded with C90's not sure how different this is from no. 2 above. or...
4) instead of running 2-2x12's; there is the 4x12 road king cab. It has v30's top to bottom on one side (closed) and the other side is open and loaded with C90's. this has me intrigued as i will get the lush stereo effects from Ultra but won't be able to physically separate them obviously.
thoughts?
