    Heavy, but sends heavy!

    1 year of use. Traded against one of my two heads GH50L. He lived, it shows, but it does not sound. I had a Framus 4x12 V30 also equipped, well it has absolutely NOTHING to do. Mesa sends the wood like no other. In my opinion, the build quality is a factor. All with a price, must be ready to handle its almost 50kilos to concert venue. But once there, driven through my head 5150 he won without problem. For the record, I played outdoors without transplanting and had no trouble making myself understood.

    The baffle perfect!

    Used with a Mark V head, this cabinet takes its full extent. Precision and power, all we ask for a 4x12.

    I highly recommend it! Worth more than safe!

    Used for 3 years in a variety of environments (rehearsal room, cafe concert, concert hall, apartment)

    her most is that the low frequencies cash without grinding. He allowed the single correct no worries & a Marshall JMP (100w) as the 80th really powerful amp used with a dual blackstar dist and a flying V for his greasy. He also served in troubleshooting, cabinet marshall original (fairly upscale) seems to have suffered somewhat this config.

    Least before its full weight nearly 40KG, may also be less bright than the marshall cited previously, then this is a story of adjustment and tastes.

    Must listen to DCID depending on the style, the game that a. .. It is a dear pregnant but I found a little something that justified the ear, the attacks are clear and trs prcises, the sound is more on surgical or ENGL Marshall and mediums have a gnial grain and this spring on a guitar gnral ...

    With the exprience I also throw an ear of a pregnant randall etc. in the same range of quality but I do not regret my choice.

    I used one with my gear for a gig:

    my gear: Gibson FlyingV Gth -> Rocktron GalNAc -> Marshall vs 120/120 -> 1960A

    So I get to the concert without my office since C mentioned that me and lends a pleasant surprise, the kind played on MESA.
    So I plug the beast (in stereo 2 * 4Ohm), finding:
    - + Still sound clean and defines
    - A staggering volume (g lower my volume, so to ke hab I quickly covered by my 300W bass)
    - Over and above the gron wouuuuuuuuf rude when I made the palm muting!!

    conclusion: c my next investment, a big clean !!!!!! terrible!

    PS I hear already ki von tell me it's not a soirre we just get an ide, but the difference with my 1960 was very flagrente

    I play it into 8 ohms with head Mesa Dual Rectifier 3 channel.
    I play it with a PRS custom 24 or a fender custom shop stratocaster United States Floyd Rose.
    It's really the top quality compar other forums, this has nothing to do.

    It's expensive, but worth the price diffrence diffrence its comparing a Marshall 4 * 12.

    His prcis, warm clean sound (for my tastes of course)
    HUGE sound distortion mesa ... a single grain ...

    Report quality perfect price when Ngoc, the gap is small compared to other speakers.

    A lil advice, it is better to buy a mesa 2x12 corrected in a 1960 Marshall 4x12, I can tell you that the sound is out of proportion!

    j admits to not understand the previous opinions, or when the conditions of the test n was not good, a correction, that difficult to settle quickly, or too low volume, I know that ... but the view gives an impression contrary to that is precisely its qualitées, and I have never heard a box (even equipped with v30) sound the same, n are not that personality??

    talk about scam c is a bit much, but it is a bit more expensive than other HP equipped the same way, but is very different ...

    Personal I adore her simple design, class, it's all about taste ... (on the other hand: you can not love his low, etc., not to say that there is no n in (eg))

    I give it 8 because I find it really terrible, but really (and I'm big fan of his very very precise;)) but I did not put the maximum because we just blamed his lack of Polivalente

    engros if you want a big sound very precise, although snoring in a very resistant box, try the try as soon as possible. (That is c should also be noted is that it comes with a protective cover)

    EDIT: I d say about an earlier opinion, an opinion based on what has been cancel service because the notice in question although another product

    I could compare it baffles DIFFERENT: 1960a, 1960a in Mount V30, Engl standart (v60) and pro (v30) and VHT 2x12 Fat Bottom. I think it's one of the speakers who has the most safe and cash and returns the best bass. The sound is sharp and super prcis!

    Report quality / price: let's say it takes a little more SAVE as other speakers, but the sound is really HUGE!

    With the exprience I remake that choice without any hsiter a second!!
    For cons, I think it is good to test ncessaire DIFFERENT types of speakers to get a personal ide! This cabinet is probably not the ultimate for some styles of music (eg jazz)! Anyway, for all lovers of grain mesa, I think really, APRS purchased this cabinet, a correct head is not without its speaker correct! (... Or VHT)! In all cases, the GREAT stuff!

Everything but poignant mtal who lost their paint and paint what I did ... So I pay him a fly ATA Thomann ... by security!

    Due to its robust construction and quality matrial of this well is certainly a return trs heavy but for many its monstrous head, Mesa or not, every time I lends them on a plate guys are happy ...
    The wheels are also very clumsy, hard to shatter even the truck. That of Marshall before I could not show off such a solidity.
    Derrire routing is complete, one between 8ohms, 2 x Reserved for Stereo and subwoofer output for a cascade practice for some.

    I had the opportunity to test Peavey, Marshall, Engl, Rivera, Orange, for me it remains at the top, above all sounds, the sound is right. For some a little lack of bass made in, well, I have not found.

    If it was again, I re-sign on, I also re-signed her little time for ERRF in 2x12 for the piano bar ... a real treat too!

    1 year of use.
    The pros: I love the sound and finish look.La and seriousness of the construction.
    The -: I do not like the weight and the directivity of HP.

    I had the 2 / 12 of the same brand my time very well but a bit limited live or repeated.
    I also had a 1960 that Marshall is not at all comparable.

    I bought OCCAZ in perfect condition and I was thrilled when I plugged in my head over Mesa Stiletto. Cash ca, ca not flinch in the bass, with the typical low-mids in Mesa.
    on the other hand I find it fairly straightforward. I do not know if it's the same for all other HP, but the V30 are all cas.A Other than that, it's the foot!

    I will get the build quality out of the way first. Mesa Boogie builds things to last through the rigors of tour. This cab just feels like a piece of quality craftmanship in every way. It is heavy, the casters are absolutely the best I have ever seen from an amp maker, the jacks are solid, the tolex is tough, and so is the grill cloth. I have opened this cab up and there is no shoddy work inside either. Some cab companies cover up bad joints with tolex or leave the insides a little under built but this cab is tough through and through. The only thing I would change build wise are the corner protectors. They are leather instead of metal. This is just nit picking as I have not had any problems…

The only thing I would change build wise are the corner protectors. They are leather instead of metal. This is just nit picking as I have not had any problems with them.

    Onto the sound. This cab is loaded with mesa boogie's celestion vintage 30 speakers and I have been told they are different than normal vintage 30s. I do not know if they actually do anything to change them but the cab is rated at 240 watts like any other vintage 30 loaded cab. I am not a huge fan of these speakers in a love setting as they have a tendency to get harsh in the high end once you get out in the crowd. They are great for recording metal though with enough highs to cut through dense mixes and solid low end. With this cab I find the speakers to perform a little better in live settings. It is probably a mixture of the over sized design and thick grill cloth that make the speakers a bit smoother sounding and more filling in the open. With certain amps this is great. It sounds absolutely huge with my 5150 and obviously works well with mesa amps. Some other amps don't fare as well with the oversize design. My Framus for example sounds overly bass heavy and boomy with a lack of definition compared to my other cabinets. Dialing the bass back cures it somewhat but takes away from the huge sound this cab is known for.


    If you need a solid cab and run a 6l6 based amp this may be your best bet. My experience with el34 amps (framus and marhsall) was less than ideal.
