Are your cab and amp the same brand?

[MIMike]

I recommend both for a variety of flavors:

GK over AK:

Or Fender over Fender:

 

[HolmeBass]

No, I favor fEarful and Fearless cabinets, and have Mesa, Genz Benz, and Quilter for amps. I am looking to buy a really cool little Acme cab from a friend too.

 

[WarwickE36]

Yep, Mesa TT800 and Subway 115 cab.

 

[jnewmark]

No, Genz Benz head, Schroeder cabs.

 

[petch]

Yes they are! But I swap heads for a different flavor when necessary.

 

[darren1970]

Yep, Genz Benz amp and cab.

 

[Aqualung60]

I'm using my Mesa WD800 with two Fender Rumble v3 4x10 cabinets.

 

[Ggaa]

In the very beginning had Fender heads and cabs. Ran Dietz cabs with multiple amps(Ampeg for a long time), 215 and 115 for 40 years, great but out of production. Now GK 115s and a Rumble 800 head. Never dug Fender cabs.

 

[Anemic_SluG]

I use a Mesa d800 over Bergantino cn212/112 or Mesa M6 over a Bergantino 610 but my Ampeg rig is matched SVT II pro with a Ampeg 810. (Honestly the Ampeg rig never travels however)

 

[Nuage420]

All mixed up

 

[Black Out Jazz]

My combos are the same brand.

 

[FirewalZ]

I used mismatched and/or low budget heads and cabs for years, and was really never satisfied with my tone. Last year I went all Mesa, D800 and Subway 212+115, and have never been happier. However, I’m sure there are mismatched combinations that sound good. As I’m sure other brands do, Mesa tests and designs their heads, cabinets and drivers together.

 

[Kipp Harrington]

I am sure there are cabs out there that would match well with different makers' amps. I have a Mesa Subway D-800. Since these amps were specifically designed to be used with (any) of the Subway cabs, I went that route. And also because I know they are well-made, have a solid reputation for reliability, light weight,

and top notch customer service. Too many positives for me to consider anything else. Oh yeah, I am more than satisfied with the sound I get!

 

[Gougedeye]

Yep. Bergantino HDN212 and B Amp.

 

[jmlee]

Looks kind of dumb: the YBA-200 is so much wider than the Fearless 112. But is sounds *so* good—especially with the second, mirror-imaged cab.

 

[mark roberts]

Yes and no.
Mono rig: SWR Red-faced Bass 350 over refurbished SWR Henry 8x8
Stereo Rig: 2xSWR Grand Prix preamps/Stewart Electronic power amps into Acme Low B1’s, Low B1W’s, Low B2

 

[Captain Chaos]

Yes and no.

 

[socialleper]

No. I have never had a head that matched the cabs.

 

[HardNHeavy]

no, vintage Traynor ts120b over a hartke 4x10. Not by choice, just ended up that way.

 

[Holdsg]

kinda. currently I have all Genzler cabs.
And normal use the Magellan 800 to power them all.
But I also fell in love with the Bergantino Forte HP with its BFT circuit, for a change of pace, when I feel the need.
