Amp tinkerer at Ampstack | | Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Bristol, UK | | | Simple rule is, vintage cabs don't do real lows. Quite often they don't go very high either. If you get a modern cabs that does both suddenly you might find how little low your amp does and how horrible the highs from it sound. Generally the latter more, old amps tend to do more lows than old cabs could reproduce in my experience. If you are keen on the old style heads, a traditional style but modern turbo charged 2x15 with Kappalite 3015s like the Dually or Barefaced Super 15 might be more the thing, those are what I use for very low endy doom.

I highly recommend the 66 if you want to go loud and drop tune without ever having to worry about over driving on the lows!!! | We did a few a/b tests with some popular 810 cabs, and in our opinion, no contest at all...another great option is the FEARLESS F215...a little smaller than a 1515/66 and around 25-30 lbs lighter. Massive lows and clarity, huge power handling, and even less expensive than a 1515/66. |

Besides, if you truly want a 'more is more' cab, NOTHING tops the 1515/66 IMO | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
