Didn't realise they were this grainy but I hope still beautiful

Here is a nice rig of doom (if I actually used it all at the same time)

i've been curious about those carvin 1x18 cabs. how are they? are they up to par with ampegs?

I have never played an Ampeg 18, so I would not have a point of comparison.

*To me* the Carvin has a nice full low end sound. Natural roll off of highs, and not too "boomy"

Until I picked up the Mesa 2X15's, I used to use it under a 4X10 first, then later under the Avatar 2X12.

In both cases (running full range), it added a nice low end thump and rumble under the tightness/brightness of the 10's and 12's.
 
My beloved B15:

Not pictured is an ampeg SVT 210 HE, SVT 410 HE, and an SVT 3 pro that I almost cringe to use since I bought and restored the B15. The thing just has "the tone" for me and if it weren't for volume reasons (playing with a loud drummer in a garage) Id never use the stack anymore and it would be sold. Haven't played out with this band I'm with now so I don't know how it will work mic'ed like Jimmy does his B15 rig, but I'm sure hoping it will.

EDIT: Don't mind the surrounding toys. Those with toddlers will understand.
