Does anyone have experience with running VH4 or Herbert thru one or two of MesaBoogie Thiele EVM 1x12 cabinets..
Any comparison between the two Thiele 1x12 and 2x12 cabinet with Vintage Celestion 30 ?
Or any opinions on EVM12L speakers...thanks a lot :rock:
 
I run one with my Uberschall rig, together with Rect 4x12. EVM is very different from v30s. EVM has more extended frequency range & doesn't brake up nearly as soon as v30s. However it's harsh to be running by itself IMO, good as an extension cabinet & also good for truly clean sounds on it's own.

I've never tried it with Herbert yet, I just plug it in 4x12 or 2x12 mesa & it rocks, didn't find necessary to try any other cabs, although I'm gonna try adding my bogner 1x12 with 2x12 mesa to bring some of that woody bogner cabinet sound.

However when it comes to recording I use Rect 4x12 90% of the time, it has been killing everything else so far.

In my experience 1x12 with a monster head - not a good idea, works good as an extension cabinet though.

Go 4x12 or if you really need something smaller 2x12.
 
Ok, thanks, I know, tahat one thiele 1x12 is not enough...but I was thinking about two of them two 1x12 thiele or 2x12 cabinet... but don´t know.. now I have only one Thiele 1x12 and openback cabinet 2x12 ...
.. and my experience is, that the thiele only alone...very good responsebility but something is missing and its not that warm sound :) .. but together vit that 2x12 openback with VC30... its so nice..so I´m now wondering maybe about.. 2x12 rearloaded diezel cab and two 1x12 thieles, cause my poblem is, that I can´t have 4x12 :( .. no way to transport it for my..so I´m looking for some alternation... I don´t play big clubs so don´t need 4x12 .. and I don´t have big car enough to transport 4x12 :( ... :D

...so thanks a lot for any more advise or experiences :thumbsup: ;)
 
4x12 is not only about the size of the gig, it sounds different than 2x12. But I understand the problem with transportation.

You can't go wrong with Diezel, Bogner or Mesa Rect 2x12 CLOSEBACK. Openback is not gonna give you the right tightness & low end response. If you run your Thiele 1x12 with it, it's gonna add some midrange & top end to your sound. This is something you have to try & decide for yourself, what I like may be opposite to what you like.
 
Howdy Brotha!

I've used a Mesa open back 1x12 and a Thiele together and they sounded awesome together with my Herbert and Einstein. My cabs have the C90 speakers in them though. I was never a fan of the EV's that were in my old Mark IV combo. They sounded rather bland to me unless you were at insane volumes. The C90's are pretty awesome, though I don't regularly use this comination with the Herbert because it doesn't sit on them very well! :D I usually use the Mesa 4x12 Stiletto cab for Herbie & it sounds pretty killer too.
 
I know, that nothing can compensate 4x12 , but what a deal, I can´t have it now :( ..I don´t have my own car, as soon as my father will decide to change to combi.. I´ll switch to 4x12 immediately :D :rock: ..
I study yet university in Prague and I have no reason to have my own car yet, I don´t need it ... so its the reason...

but thanks a lot... I´ll go to some 2x12 .. but only a questino..I heared, that diezel cabs are more cleaer and better in articulation in bass and at all than MesaBoogie. Any experience? I´m only worried, If the Mesa can handle the bass of my VH4 :rock: ... so if so... Diezel will be better for me, cause I wanna to be heared in any situation ... thats why I am trying EVM12L thiele..cause, I thaught, that EVM are wery clear in articulation... but not so warm sound on low wolumes, I agree :confused: ... so big dilema for me :)
And my experience is that the VH4 needs VC30 .. but I didn´t hear everything yet :) so any more tips are welcome :)

And I heared about thiele with C90.. and maybe, they are really so good.. I only heared just best replyes on them :thumbsup: and I am not just only metal player, I like stuff like Hendrix, Zeppelin, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam (the most.. I love this band, I grow up on their music..it´s the heart thing, you know :) )
 
I love my EV Thiele boogie cab. Sounds killer. FAT!! Closest 1x12 to any of my 4x12's. Also records GREAT!
 
I like the thiele better than any other 1 - 12. I still have a pair of EV's , great for clean/lead. Not my thing for chunk. I like the thiele with other speakers better. I did not care for the mix of V30/EV. This is only a matter of taste. You better try before you buy. My old EV's are 200 watts- the new ones I belive are 300 watts. They can handle the power of a Diezel by them selfs.
