Cab options:

Two used 110s from a guy who had the discontinued mini rig...

Or new Ashdown VS112...

Opinions from those in the know? For home use, maybe small gigs, and recording. Thanks! SL

I use the VS112 along with my LB30, great to have a mini all valve rig that you can carry both head and cab in 2 hands! Volume wise it can be cranked with some serious dirt. Great for home and studio use but i think you'd struggle with any 1/2 loud drummer or guitarist with 412 without PA support. Getting it elevated or tilted back also helps live as the can is small and low down so all the low end is pointing below your knees. Without any horn or tweeter its natural tone is warm and rounded to my ears but you can still get nasty or more hi-fo with the eq

whats the difference between the ABM and MAG cabs ... rightly or wrongly according to the product info they seem to have the same drivers in them ?

Cheers

The ABM cabinets are birch plywood, the MAG cabinets are MDF. Are they both front ported? [410 with horn]

Cleaned and reconfigured the Man Cave yesterday with help from the War Department. Then I cut loose with a raucous hour of practice through the LB-30 and a big heavy Kustom 115. Wow. Never have I heard such bottom. This amp is something else!! I may be spoiled for solid state now.

. Ive owned my EVO500 combo for three years. I absolutely love it. It's my go to recording rig! The DI sounds incredible! I've actually had to sell this a couple of times to make bills, but always seem to manage gettin her back. One of my all time favorite combo amps!
