Hello,

Yesterday was my first rehearsal with my VH4 and my Mesa recto traditional slant 4x12 and I got to say that it sucked...I then plugged into my Orange 4x12 V30 and it was much much better.

It had no low end and it was so harsh and I play an 8 string RG2228 with aftermaths.

What is the problem? The Vh4 doesn't go well with Mesa trad? anyone had this problem going? I recorded with the Mesa 4x12 and it was fine.
 
Don´t know what´s going on.
The Mesa is a good cab and the VH4 has more than enough low end.
:confused:
 
Yes I think it's strange too, but me and my bandmates were all disliking the tone a lot.

I think I am going to open it to see if the speakers are Ok and if they are in fact V30 because this is a custom one and I got it second handed.

Now that I am speaking about it Peter, which Diezel cab was made fro the VH4 (if there was such a thing)?

Thanks
 
I'm sure Papa will clarify, but I think all the Diezels were voiced for use with Vintage 30 speakers. I'm guessing it would have been a variety of Diezel cabs with V30s.

If your MESA cab is solid, well constructed & house these speakers, there really shouldn't be a problem.
 
I did not like my Mesa Recto 2x12 with my D-Moll at all.
I did not like my Mesa Recto 2x12 with my EVH 5150 50w
It may be a preference, that's why I sold it.
I love my Diezel Front Loaded 4x12 as well as the 1x12 I picked up recently.
It could be that your ideal sound is not Mesa...
It's hard to put a finger on cause a lot of my Favorite Guitarist Rock Mesa Amps...
 
Yes, I get it regarding taste but do not get me wrong, I have a dual recto and it smashes with that cab.

The VH4 doesn't somehow...but it goes super with the Orange

Speaking of taste, I'll trade you my Oscar Mayer baloney and cheese sandwich for your VH4?

Note that I haven't said a bad thing about the VH4 ;)
