Schroeder 1212L and Mini12+L Review

[KJung]

Just wanted to do a quick post on my weekend with the 21012L. Both rooms I played (in St. Louis) were pretty bad acoustically (boomy) and the bands were quite loud. I used the 21012L with a TF550 and a Sadowsky NYC RV5.

With the TF set pretty much flat (Timbre flat, enhance off and just a touch of bass) and the EQ on the Sadowsky pretty much flat (maybe a little bass boost for slap tunes, and a roll-back of the VTC for other tunes), this rig sounded great... punchy, articulate, and never broke a sweat (no PA support and the drummers playing about as loud as an un-mic'd drummer can play).

The best part.... my Saturday gig was in an old ballroom (a quite famous old place that was a top venue in the big band era... kind of cool to play in that space even though the acoustics were dog). I parked a long block away, and there were seven steps up to the loading dock. That 21012L with the TF on top in the TF 'light road case' and the Sadowsky on my back was a dream to schlep.... very easy for me to carry up those stairs and to roll that distance (I have castors on the cab), and still knock down a wall on the gig.

There's nothing better than a single, large, LIGHT, loud, punchy cab if you are freelancing and have to put out the wump sometimes

Cool keep this stories/opinions coming, I love this thread.
I played a blues festival last night and used my SWR 6x10 instead of my Schroeder 1210, mostly because I knew it would be a huge stage and lots of space outdoors. Have to say I really enjoyed the high end on the SWR cab- I actually slapped a little (forgive me father for I have sinned). Like I have said before, I don't know that there is a "perfect" light weight or small cab that will really sound just like a big cab. There is always a little compromise, but it is nice having both options available for different situations.

Zombie thread resurrection! Anyone still using their 1212L? I’ve just picked one up for a bargain price in the UK and looking forward to gigging it tonight at an outdoor festival. What are your thoughts/experiences with placement. The one I bought has had extra feet added so it can stand on it’s end with the angled driver facing the floor.

Set it up the way Jorg designed it. You will be amazed at how well you can hear yourself onstage with these cabinets. A little elevation will help as well. Enjoy the gig, and report back how it went.
