Bassmouseman Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I thinking about buying one of these cabs, does anyone have any experience with them? I play in a Metal band using a Warwick Corvette Std 5 through a TE GP12 SMX preamp and SWR 800 Power amp. Need to know if it will be loud enough, punch through the mix and handle the low B flat (we tune down half a step). Any advice would be great, Thanks.

Think you might have bought the one I was looking at! good to hear you got it working and it sounds good. Also good to get an opinion from someone else that play's with two deaf guitarists! must be a metal thing :-) How would you describe the sound? I know it's subjective, but I have no chance of trying before I buy.
