Which rig would YOU keep?

[synterx]

Man, this is tough. Both sound good. One looks cooler and has more features, one is as small as I can realistically go for any size stage.

Hmmm.

 

[rayzak]

Having never played either rig, I can't realistically give "good" advice, but it seems that you'd have more versatility with the TC rig. Though i'd love to give that Genz cab a go!

 

[detoxxx]

I would keep the TC setup... that way you have a little versatility. You can just use one cab for smaller gigs and stack them for bigger gigs. Just my opinion.

 

[lomo]

If the Neox/MB500 was enough for all I'd do, that's what I'd keep. Love the head, never heard the cab.

 

[synterx]

I'm leaning towards the TC. In a side by side test, the NeoX puts the hurt on the RS212. No comparison IMO. The NeoX can stand on it's own with 500 watts hitting it and fill any stage. I need to use both the 210 and 212 with the TC, but I do get a "fuller" kind of sound with both cabs vs. the NeoX. Hard to describe...

Then I can grab the 210 and head for small practices.

I hate having to baby the RS cabs though, the NeoX you can throw in the car, or on a cart with no worries.

Always trade offs...

The Genz rig so you can sell me the TC rig for cheap.

I'd keep the TC rig. You can always remove a cabinet for smaller stuff.

 

[GeneralElectric]

WHy do you have the baby the TC cabs?

 

[synterx]

WHy do you have the baby the TC cabs?

I don't know, they feel delicate. Kind of like "toys" versus serious cabinets. The same feel the GK MB210 and 212 combos felt to me.

The Genz is light, real light, but still feels and looks heavy duty.

And of course, the finish on the TC stuff doesn't give you a lot of confidence when sliding them into trucks or whatnot. I have a TUKI cover for the 212, need to get another for the 210.

These are the older finish, maybe the new black glossy finish is that much better.

How's the GB cab sound with the TC head?

 

[Korladis]

I'd keep the Genz rig.

 

[John D Harris]

I'd trade the two heads, the Neox212, & the RS212 in on a TCE RH750 and another RS210 (or two more!).

Actually, I've never heard the Neox212, but heard really good things about them -- If you prefer a one cab solution, you should probably keep that. It's probably a good match up with the GK MB500.

If you prefer modular -- do like I suggested above -- I REALLY like the sound of the RS210!

 

[IntrepidCellist]

Mix and match? NEOX with Staccato?

 

[logicman69]

Trade it all for a Streamliner 6.0 and an Uber-212

Problem solved.

 

[aledeville]

I take the NEOX for sure. Not sure about the amp.
The TC cabs aren't my cup of tea.

 

[Tom Howland]

I'd keep the TC rig. TJM.

 

[rayzak]

How's the GB cab sound with the TC head?

That's what I was wondering too. Sounds like you may regret getting rid of the Genz..... and regret is NOT fun!

 

[SteveC]

Keep anything that says Genz Benz.

 

[rpsands]

I'd go with the TC head and the Genz cab

 

[synterx]

Trade it all for a Streamliner 6.0 and an Uber-212

Problem solved.

Hand an uber-212. Sounded fine, but it was too big. I like taller narrower cabs.

 

[synterx]

Honestly, I was ready to get rid of the TC stuff because the NeoX just rocks so much. BUT, I finally got the RS210 yesterday to go with the 212.

This combo of RS212 and 210, layed on their side as shown, completely totally changed my mind on the RS cabs and TC head.

The tone and sound I'm getting out of the 2 cabs is killer. It's bizarre. Not sure why, but just the RS212 did nothing for me. It was okay, kind of flubby and weak on the lower registers.

But man, the two together is just so powerful and clear. I don't know.

If I keep the Genz, I really need another cabinet, one I can carry down stairs easier.
