Colledge Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 after a couple of gigs with my trace v-type combo i've decided i could do with another cab to give me a little more clean headroom. It did fine, but at the edge, its gets a bit grindy which i like... but it doesn't suit some of the songs i'm playing. i'm thinking i'd do best with a 2x10 configuration because i don't need masses more volume and it would add some nice top end to my sound. i've got about £300 to spend at a push but would rather spend closer to £200. at a glance i've come up with the likes of a Hartke 210xl, warwick 211 pro, and the ampeg svt-210av. out of those i like the look of the svt best... but i'm worried it wouldn't provide the goods... seems more aimed at the practice amp market. any recommendations / advice? cheers.

gary mac Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Think I would be looking for a Trace cab. I added a 2 x 10" to my trace combo, it looked and sounded so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 The Warwick 211 pro is an appalling sounding cab that farts out at the hint of being pushed, IME. I used to use one with a Trace 7215 SMX combo and it sounded terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I had a Hartke 2x10 XL - nice and light, not overly bassy, but, if yr looking to add air being moved to yr set-up, and a bit more top end, it would prob be fine. I used it with the Hartke 1x15 XL and together they sounded very good indeed. Always a good coupling, 1x15 & 2x10, in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Get yourself an old Trace 1518, that's what I used the combo with. An incredible combination and you can pick them up on Ebay for around the £100 mark if you are patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either which way a second 15" will just destroy walls with that combo and you can use the treble control to dial any hi freqs in - you don't need 10s for top end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colledge Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 [quote name='Merton' post='932584' date='Aug 22 2010, 10:58 AM']a second 15" will just destroy walls[/quote] that makes me happy. just looking at the 1153 specs, these cabs are just over 20kilos which is pretty impressive for trace stuff, i was expecting something weighing more than the moon like the combo / my old 1524 cab. i'll keep an eye out. cheers for the help.
