Glockenklang Cab Advice Needed

KILLER!

I am not familiar with the cabs, but in general, it is almost ALWAYS better to add a second identical cab. If you like the sound of one cab, you will, by defintion LOVE the sound of two of them (double the wattage in your case, and that synergy of coupling that results in just a HUGE difference in volume and non-compressed low end).

So, if you can get a second cab identical to your current 212, do it. Zero risk.. it will be 'more' of what you already dig.

Yep, if you're digging the sound of your current 212, best to go identical. Sounds like an awesome rig you've got there. I've played through the Puma 500 and it was very impressive. Enjoy the 1000.

 

Hello,

I've only got a Quattro 4x10" so I won't be able to hlep you on this one. However if you like the tone of the double, I would strongly advice you to add another one.


You could also try to contact Udo at Glockenklang who usualy returns quite fast.

I am using an Uno Rock Deluxe 115 and a Duo 210 with an Ashdown ABM 500 EVO II - and could not be happier with my sound. Except, maybe, by adding one more 115 and powering the entire rig with a Glockenklang Heart Rock head...
I think a combination of different Glockenklang cabs works fine. You can choose combination according on the tonal direction you want to take - a 212 is, of course, a good combination of snap and thunder...

 

Hi $10 cat, I own a Double 2x12 and sometimes pair it with my Tech Sounsystems 6x10", which gives me a thick punishing low end if I turn the tweeter right down on the Glock. But I find the tone of the Glock on it's own far superior to anything. I'd like to get rid of the Tech for another 2x12.
So 2 Glock 2x12s is the answer, they are stunning cabs, in part due to the Volt loudspeakers.

 

Man - you're giving me GAS for a Glock 2x12! I played a German made one recently and fell in love. A bit pricey though. I can't imagine what two would sound like!

There have been a couple of Glock users post on the forum who have opined on a couple of combinations. You may want to pm them to clarify, but from what I recall:

Bassjigga uses a double and a duo and really likes the combination. (He also has/had a HeartRock for sale in the classifieds, he has switched over to the BAC head.)

Trip Wamsley, aka Tripster, has indicated he likes the duo/double combination a lot, and he also told me he really likes the duo/uno combination. Trip is a monster player, and is also a Glock signed artist. He has played pretty much everything they make and is a great source of reliable input on their products.

I think that if you were going to go with a different cabinet I would recommend you go with the duo rather than the uno to combine with the double you already have. This will give you a little more punch and really sweet mids.

I have a pair of duos, and I also have a BAC MKII on the way. I just can't say enough about the quality and tone of Glock. I really dig their gear.

Cheers,

hope this helps,

Jim

 

I really like the Duo. I haven't played through a Double personally so I can't really compare. I would expect that the low B would be not quite as present on the Duo relative to the Double. I also own the US version of the Duo, which is slightly different from what you would get in Australia. (Pretty close, but not exactly the same.) Tripster or Bassjigga have played through both and would be able to provide a comparison to what you already have, so I really think you should connect with them on that comparison.

Glad to be of help,


Jim
