Anyone have experience with both? Frontloaded with either V30s or g12k100s or both! Perferably the new diezel cabs and I think the mills is called the afterburner?
Wow none of that even occurred to me! I would want a normal sized cab for sure! I definitely want a front loaded one for my VH4.steve_k":2mfs9otm said:I currently own all of the above. What is it you would like to know? Bigger isn't always better when applied to speaker cabs. Keep that in mind. This would apply to Mills AB and Mesa Recto cabs.
If you will use the search function in the top right of your screen, you will probably find more information than you can read in a day.
Just to start you off in the right direction though, from my experience, stick to the 69 spec cab sizes for best overall functionality.
It is my experience that a VH4 sounds best in a front loaded cab, and V30's are my preference.
The Herbie sounds great through a front loaded V30 as well as most any rear loaded V30 cab.
You need to have amp volume to overcome the flub and extended bottom end of an oversized cab. This is purely because the internal volume (cubic inches) changes the whole equation that has to do with resonant frequency.
Some people like the K100. Its not my preference though. It will tighten up any amp at lower volumes as compared to the V30. Rightly so, as it has 40% more headroom.
You will find internal baffles in a Diezel FL cab that separate the 4 speakers. You won't find this in any other custom made or production made cab on the market, Mills included.
The new Bogner front loads with V30/T75's are awesome. The 75's round out the V30's very well and leave it looser as opposed to tight like the 100's.
There's more, but its mostly my opinion.

But, for the VH4, if you choose not to go with a Diezel FL due to price (its in the shipping), go with a Bogner FL Ubercab. They are made in the US and are the same price as a rear load. Comes with 30/75 X. If you want to custom order one, call Rob at Tone Merchants and he can order direct custom orders from Bogner and get it with 30/100 X. I have one on the way now.
As far as clips go, search You Tube.

RJF":2iwg0v4g said:My German 412 front load has no padding. I am running an X of V30's and K100's. It is the best cab I've ever had. Every head I've owned, except for the Framus Cobra, sounds better through the Diezel cab than it's original maker's cab.
