I’ve had my Rebel 20 for a while now. I’m still experimenting with different pedals and setups. I’ve always been a fan of the big airy 4x12 sound, so I’ve had my eye out for a decent cheap used cab. I finally grabbed a used Carvin Legacy with V30’s. It sounded fantastic hooked up to a Rebel 20 at GC.
When I got it home and hooked it up in my tiny music room, I was surprised to find out how little difference there actually was between this cab and the Rebel 1x12. I can only assume that the lower volume I am using and the size of my music room negates some of the air pushing physics of the big cab. The main difference is the big cab is more even, so I could remove the eq I was using with the Rebel 1x12 to notch a couple of problem frequencies. Anyway, I am very pleased with the tones I am getting now.
I'm also thinking about whether to trade for a Rebel 30 head when they show up. I’m also curious to try out a Renegade. I like the layout of the Renegade head better than the Rebel 30 head. I’m curious how the Renegade would compare to the Rebel 30 in 15 watt mode and at lower volumes. I know I don’t need the power of the Renegade, but as far as that goes, I don’t need the power of the Rebel 20 either.
