I preordered a quad of these yesterday, and grabbed the IR pack. Should be about 4-6 weeks for the speakers to arrive.
Here is a clip...Mesa Mark V into my Driftwood Reactive load. Bauer custom strat with a Hapas Leviathan pickup.

The 90s were all over the place for tone. Lots of unique shit going on, new gear coming...5150s, Rectos, SLO, Marshall all over the place. No one really doing the same shit.
That said, this is peak 90s guitar tone IMO.
I used the L6 G50 for about a decade, but at some point our local venues moved all their mixing shit to wireless, and I started having drop outs. I switched to the Shure unit, and it has been flawless. But it was $400 when I bought it new, about 8 years ago or something. I've seen some used ones...
Yeah I would tend to agree. The 100s, then 5150 combo, then 5152. My first round with the 100s ended early because I could get my 5150 combo sounding like 99% identical. But the 100s does things the peavey can’t do. Those are my top 2, with the 5152 coming in a very close third right behind the...
I've had a few 212s over the years. But I tend to like bigger 212s. My favorite was this comically massive Aftershock 212 that I had for a while. Vader was alright, a little small sounding. Earcandy Buzzbomb was cool if you like ported. I think overall the best ones were the Avatar OS...
Super unscientific video, but I have both of these cabs here for the week before I move them around to my practice spots. I also have another 412 and a 212 that you can't see lol. But yeah, just fuckin around while no one is home.

This just isn't really how speaker cabs work in real life. Each speaker does not put out the same frequencies. Each one will sound slightly different. On top of that, you will ALWAYS have some room resonance happening. You can close mic a 412 in different rooms and hear this. You can mic 15-20CM...
We did a couple of them around 2009/2010 here in Orlando, but they sorta dropped off after those. I think organizing can be tough. But it would be great to do it again.
There’s a reason everyone uses this combination and method, and it’s not from lack of experimentation. If 10” speakers were the best for this, that would be the “V30” that everyone uses, but the fact is they simply aren’t.
