I bought a new herbert mk3 a few days ago. I love this amp with my bogner uberkab. But, I want buy other cab for my herbie. Diezel cab is the way to go? I torn between Diezel 412 front loaded or Fryette fat bottom with fane f70(I read the post somewhere that this cab is good with herbert). Or any cab recommendation?
 
Right now I use a Mesa Traditional 412 and have a Diezel FL K100 on order.
 
@mhenson42 just got an MK3 and uses a Fryette cab with Fanes among others. Any input Matt?
 
Front loaded Diezel is amazing with my Herbert’s . It great with all my amps actually.

Do you like the tone with Mesa cab? I had oversized mesa cab and I thought it was a little boomy for my taste. So, sold it.

I like it, didn’t want boomy so that’s why I went traditional. Can’t compare to the K100 until I get it.
 
I had both at the same time...The Fryette Fat Bottom with Fane F70 blew away the Diezel FL K100 cab I had, IMO. The Diezel cab was sold fairly quickly. It was overly dark and flat sounding and didn't have the punch of the Fryette cab. I tried various other speaker combinations in it too. It was better with v30s and v30/k100 mix, but in the end, just didn't sound near as good as the Fryette cab to me.

I have no experience with k100. Many people say k100 is the speaker to handle lowend of herbie.
 
I’m looking at getting a 2x12 for dragging my Herbert to jams, don’t have the space for a 4x12.

The fane fat bottom 2x12 looks pretty good. max power handling is 140 watts though. I’m not planning on cranking it but it would suck to blow up a $1k cab!
