Going to have to blow out a studio wall and eliminate the wife's laundry room :D Rig update soon! Wanting to order three Mesa vertical Recto 2x12 cabs. Two for the Triaxis/2:90 rig A/B and one for the Mark V. Any advice on something better? Space is limited and two more 4x12 would just barely fit without having to stack. Supporting a local business and buying Keeley pedals as Robert's business is close to my home. Framptone 3 Banger, 4 knob comp, TS-9 4x12, katana, time machine boost, DS-1, MT-2, and wha. I can see a custom Trailer Trash board with all Keeley pedals happening this winter. Also trying to hunt down a Mesa high gain amp switcher to replace 3 Banger. Four amp rig is going to more than enough to configure. So far the Herbert and Mark V are working well together and I see the Marshall and Triaxis being used individually.
 
Why not get a Mesa 4x12 Traditional & run it in stereo? IMO it's a far better vibe to have in arsenal for recording than the 2x12 they offer. The mesa 2x12 is also a great little box & it sounds distinctly different from the 4x12, but I prefer Bogner OS 2x12, far better box IMO, although much bigger in size.

And the last but not least, why do you need a cabinet hooked up to each one of your amps permanently? It doesn't take much effort to move a speaker cable.

That is what I do now and it is not a big deal. Each amp is cabled and ready to attach to either cab. Would like to have a couple of other cabs, loaded with different speakers, or that offer tonal options. Besides, there is one wall left in the studio that isn't quite full yet :thumbsup: Thanks for the advice.
