Well, I'm waiting for a Mesa Engineering Rectifier Vertical Slanted equipped with V30s. I'm looking for a tighter sound than what I get with my current Marshall 1966B Lead (from the 80's) which is an excellent cab. I hope the Mesa works well with the Einstein (and with my playing).garnel81":z1hjai6g said:JesusRocks":z1hjai6g said:
Cool finally a person from my country in the forum
I heard a lot of good things about the Bogner 2x12. Kind of expensive in Portugal but a 2x12 orange cab will do the trick.
Fui ao do Super Bock Super Rock e depois ao do Pavilhão Atlantico. Foi neste último que fiquei parvo com o som. Abraçogarnel81":z1hjai6g said:
The problem with oversized 2x12"s is that they don't fit in the small space that my drummer leaves for my rig. Anything larger than the Marshall 1966 is too large. That probably goes to the Diezel as well. I really needed a vertical 2x12" with a great sound and that's why I went for the Mesa. I hope it's worth the money (they're extremely expensive in Portugal).Fend":2lu2l4hu said:Congratulation, nice trip
I was searching for the ultimate cab too, then I found the Bogner 212 Oversized ! It sounds like a 412 but with more mids and less aggressive hi-end ! Unbelievable !! The ultimate cab !
You should try it
Check this link !
How does the Eventide sound through the Diezel? Do you use it in the FX loop?rynhard":36sopqke said:
) I went in for a set up and this store had one. I heard about Hetfield using one and was curious. plugged a chorus pedal thru channel one.................bought it on the spot, ran home and made auctions on the Bay for my Road King, Dual rect head, and Vetta II. Since then I tried the ENGL SE EL 34, and Triaxis/2: 90 rack.......and just always kept comparing it to the VH4S and well I guess that is just my tone. So I then sold the rack to buy the Herbert. Herbert stacks up real well to it, and IMO is a bit grittier and the cleans cut like glass. The VH4S (biased with EL34's) is just smooth as glass in the distortion dept, and the cleans are deep and dark. I am a brand whore, so when I find a brand I like...LOL my OCD kicks in and get only products from that or those companies. I just sold my 2 boogie 4x12's for another Diezel 4x12 as I really dig the front loaded one with v 30's for some reason. 
He finally left me alone for a little bit to actually mess with the rig & in hindsight, I remember thinking, "Well maybe my little pentatonic riff did sound o.k. simply for the fact that before I struck a note I dialed "back" all the gain knobs which were maxed, raised the "mid" knobs and basically set everything to the "Noon" position with the exception of the "master" volume. Hmmmmm (Any of you other old school farts like me will know what I'm talking about. If not, just go into any GC or similiar Walmart of music stores & look at the "usual" layout dialed in on a Rectifier ) ) ................................... & I didn't want to take it with me on the Airplane. Though I fell In love, I walked out of the store empty handed & talked myself out of it by the time I was home from vacation. My actual purchase is a long-winded story in and of itself involving a wife out of town, a bottle of whiskey & a new credit card that the Mrs. wasn't aware of.......................................
