I was up at BassNW yesterday, and my buddy and I demoed the Neox and Uber cabs they had. I was actually quite surprised by the difference in sound between them! In both cases they were driven by an EA Micro head, and we didn't touch the EQ settings when we swapped cabs.
Both sounded great. The Neox sounded fairly wooly and chewy and mid-focused, more of a vintage rock tone. In fact it was
so much that way that we decided it would not do for clean jazzy or proggy type of sounds. But of course if you like a fat chewy rock tone, then bam---Neox it is. The Uber OTOH had much more massive lows and clearer highs.
Tons of punch and heft, even from the 210. And all the articulation a person could want.
After all the rave reviews of the Neox series here on TB, I was very skeptical of all the "OMG Uber" hype posted by the
very same people. Shills and fanbois, every one of them, is what I thought. Well, I still have a bone to pick with the shills on this forum in general, but the fact is the Uber cabs
are insanely good. Typically my GAS is quenched once I actually try out the items that get so much hype, but in this case I didn't even
have any "Uber GAS" until I tried them out--and now I want one so bad!
