2x112 or 212 cab

[Phil Starr]

I'm another with a pair of 1x12's 

 

one will pretty much match the drums (and why would I want to be louder then the drummer) the second is there for the odd time I play bigger venues.

Interesting post. I play an EBS NeoLine 212 on tour (it stays on the tour trailer) and at my home I have a 2x10 ProLine for local gigs, but I'm seriously thinking of swapping this one for two 112 Neolines. I think it's a good idea to have one 112 for smaller gigs and the two of them stacked for bigger venues.

Well...I managed to sell my 4x10, an end of an era and a goodbye to Ampeg. It served me well, but dead excited to try out the 112 and new GK Legacy 500 in the studio / gig. Sounds like the second cab is a good option for larger venues, but since its pretty unlikely I'll be in that scenario any time soon I figured I'll just stick with the one for now.

 

GAS = 0 , me = 1

 

....for now.

Good work. Seems 'nobody' is buying them unless sold for less than scrap value.

Yeah I was pleased to see it go, and to a good home too. 

 

Have to say again how impressed I am with the Darkglass DG112N. Tried it in a rehearsal finally last week and held up with the drummer and loud guitarist no problem. Best trade I've ever made.

212 has absolutely made my life. Awesome cab.

 

Although i suspect 2 112 would be ace as well.

FWIW, I have just switched from a modular 2 x 112 cab system to a single 212 cab.

 

This is because I find it easier to carry one bigger cab at the end of the night (it has neo speakers, so the weight is alright) rather than having to bend to lift a smaller cab (then having to do it twice) and because I find that a cab with two speakers seems to be more efficient and appears to be louder / have more headroom.

I've gone for a single 4-ohm 212.

 

It's loud enough, I couldn't see any benefit in going for 8 ohms so I could double up or use it with another cab (plus I couldn't afford two).

 

At 28lbs it's a one-hand carry, so easier to move around than two 112s. I can carry the amp in a shoulder bag, bass in one hand, cab in the other.
