Sorry I've been remiss in posting my pic...here is my little rig! It was wicked sunny and glare was running rampant, but you get the idea. Camera phone shot at Kemah.

Top to bottom, it's a Shure wireless; then my LMII; then in the rack is my BBE BMax, PLX1804; top cab is 410L, then 3120212R. Missing from this photo is my 1210R(L)...

You could knock down small buildings with that rig! Do you find you need it all?
 
I have a 410L (black rhino) on order! :hyper:

I'm wondering if my Eden WT400 is enough power for this cab. I like the Eden 'growl", but I've been looking at the SVT-4 Pro and GBE 750 as well as the WT550. I have my SVT II (non-pro), but I need less weight - hence the "L". I asked for suggestions on the Eden appreciation thread also, but while I'm here... I need 2-ohm capability, by the way. Right now I'm thinkin' WT550... TIA for any thoughts and advice. :help:

Maybe check into the Carvin BX1200 its quite loud and versatile, probably not quite as smooth as Eden but still pretty good. 23LBS unracked.
 
You going to Rhino or otherwise coat it? Check out the Selenium horn as well...I like it TONS better than the P-Audio that the originals came with. I retrofitted my 310212 with one, and it made a big difference. I don't know who makes the round one Jorg uses now, but those are really good as well. Looking like a chore, but it'll be so worth it when you're done!

I won't take a number (I go through equipment changes so fast it hardly seems worth the effort) but I'll post some pics of my new Schroeder Mini 12+R cabs when I get home. The just came in!! These are the new style cabs that are a little smaller than the previous version.
 
Pics are going to have to wait. I think I got sent two 4-ohm cabs, not the two 8-ohm cabs I had ordered. One sounds great. I don't know if it's just me, or these new cabs, but I don't hear any low end missing. Are they punchy? Hell yes. Much more than my Epi UL310. Is it mid heavy? If it is, I don't hear it. It sounds very smooth. Is it light down low? Even when using a Shuttle 6.0, which some have commented is a little light in the lows, set flat I think it's a great, full sounding cab. If I still had the Epi here to do a direct comparison I might notice a little less bottom, it's hard to say. I do notice that the Epi was more polite and refined sounding. I think that has more to do with the punchiness of the Schro though. The projection on this thing is crazy. I was playing in the house, with no open windows with the back of the cab facing the road and someone visiting my neighbour from across the road could hear me playing over top of the rumble of a V8 with dual exhaust in his truck. We're talking over 100 feet here and I didn't even have the Shuttle at 12:00 on the master. I can't wait to be able to hook up a pair. In all honesty though, I could probably get away with one of these cabs, but what fun would that be :) Oh, and the size ... one word .. tiny. These things are just a touch bigger than most small 110 cabs. I can't wait for more of these cabs to get out there. I would really be interested in hearing people compare them agasint some of the other popular cabs on the market.

Wow, sounds great. I'd love to hear these someday.

I'm glad these have worked for you. I bet when you run two it will sound even better.
 
How many people here are using their Schroeder cab for something that the traditional Hi-fi stuff? Any users pairing them up with any tube heads for rock/metal stuff? I'm really interested in a Schroeder 4x12 for these purposes, and figured I'd get some opinions before I get the chance to drive down to Murfreesborro to visit Brian at the Low End and try one out.

Also, how difficult is it to get a custom grille cloth on one of his cabs?
