18 4x12's dang man, that's awesome and let's see a pic of the family!

I would avoid Nesstone. I ordered $500+ in tubes from Craig a while ago. One KT88 and one EL34 were DOA. Granted I did not discover these issues until the return window expired, but I emailed him asking for help. He responded saying yes he'd help me out and then just ghosted me. Several...

How do you like that Mojotone Canyon 4x12? Did I read that it actually has less bass than a normal 4x12?

I haven't spent much time with the DRECT, so I'll have to report back. The mid gain crunch tones are awesome, but initially I've been less impressed with the high gain chugging tones. I think it's just the nature of Rectifiers in general - I've owned a Multiwatt and a Badlander, and neither can...

The Uber Ultra is pretty awesome, but ultimately I found it to be too dark for my liking, and a bit sterile/cold sounding (aka opposite of organic and warm). Hard to find words to describe it exactly, but it's pretty low mid focused. It has a fuck ton of gain for sure, which I loved. I could...

I currently have the Uberschall, Powerball, IICP, 6505, and DRECT. I've also owned the Pitbull, Deliverance, Ecstacy, Savage, 800, and both Soldanos. Needless to say, I've tried a lot of the high gain modules! The Uberschall is my favorite for metal, so much that I sold my Uber Ultra after...

You mentioned Zinky in the other thread as well regarding the V- Boutique cab. Who/what is Zinky? I have the V Cube 2x12 on order.

What a gorgeous amp, GLWTS!

Thanks for all the great recommendations! I decided to give the V-Boutique V Cube 2x12 a shot. It's about the size of the largest 1x12's like the KSR, but I'm hoping it sounds even bigger. If anyone else is interested, this cab is currently on sale through Reverb. I'm sending them a stereo jack...

Those KSR 1x12's are huge. Looks like the V-Boutique 2x12 Cube is even an inch narrower. I'd have to think the 2x12 would sound bigger, but perhaps 2 12 inch speakers crammed into an enclosure could sound just as boxy?

Yes indeed, and it was a great setup on many levels. In the end I just felt like it wasn't the best fit for me. Gear whores are always looking for excuses!!

Thanks for all the input! I should have clarified that I play mainly hard rock, metal, and ambient clean tones. I realize at the end of the day I'll just need to experiment, but it's hard to know where to begin. Honestly it may come down to what I can find locally as I'm not too keen on buying...

As much as I dislike 1x12's, I am needing some small/portable cab(s) for travel, possibly a pair stacked or separated for a stereo rig. I have tried a number of different 1x12's in the past, and after much disappointment I gave up and have been carting around 4x12's for years. Totally worth it...

Those look awesome, and will make a great xmas present!

Good catch, yeah I re-discovered this clip from a couple winters ago. Sadly, I have since sold the Carstens Grace. I got in on the first run, and after the fact confirmed that for my needs I absolutely needed an effects loop. I emailed back and forth with Brian asking if he would add one, and to...

Haha, I know right! My wife was recording and I guess got scared and pressed stop. Pretty evil tones so I can understand lol. Rest assured I turn down when my daughter's around, but sometimes she sneaks up on me!

Nothing too serious here folks, just a dad turning knobs in the basement. Carstens Grace with a Buxom Boost in front, into a Suhr Reactive Load, then line out to a VHT 2150 and EVH 412. Little Ellie knows what's up!

13 thanks man!

Thanks, I was also hoping you could elaborate on how the amp sounds? What styles do you play, and how does this stack up for tight metal rhythms? Boost or no boost?

Nice! Please elaborate, I just got the email...
