Tell me about 4x12 cabs

2) Speaker Wire.
I used good heavy duty speaker wire and solder all the connections. There is a lot of debate about tone with how or with what you wire your cab. I don't do it for tone, but for reliability

I also solder mine.. i hate the clips..the soldering seems to offend many though for some reason

People with no soldering (or de-soldering) skills. Who hasn't sucked the solder out of a terminal or two?

Actually was asking what speakers Steve used.

Steve was using some mid 80's G12 Vintage speakers (not V30's), but he's got some custom made in the UK speakers now.

Have you done this?

(Compared mills to KSR)

I've had both - Mills long ago, KSR maybe a couple years ago. The Mills is legendary - the internal baffle was something KSR implemented I assume.

How did the KSR cab’s sound compare to the Mills? Was it similar or as good?

I didn’t have them at the same time, but I remember the Mills was unlike anything I’d ever played.

Have Wizard 4x12’s with a few different speaker combinations, a Friedman V30/GB25, and a StoneAge 4x12 with all GB25’s.

I was close as hell to.going all greenback. Putting the mgl through redbacks at Matt's house and i was worried i might not match it

Depending on the amp, I think I prefer all greenies, I have a Wizard with all Redbacks that I use for the 150w Wizard. Forgot to mention a Diezel 4x12 I recently picked up with K100 front load - super impressed with that cab and what the K100 do.

Here's the ultimate cab, the Scumback 69 spec straight cab. Marshall logo added. Steve Stevens has three of them. He said it had the heaviest tones of all of his cabs when he released his IR pack a couple of years ago.

Looks like my Marshall 1960BHW Cab.

Have you ever tried the EVH 4x12 Cab?

 

[WizardSouth-JP]

Have you ever tried the EVH 4x12 Cab?

yes, many years ago I had one when I owned my first Wizard, a MC50. The EVH speakers sound killer as well to my ears - nice woody attack and thump.

Those evh cabs are very fucking good with the right amp. That cab with a silver jubilee haunts me to this day
