I have a few of celestions 2 way "FRFR" speakers. I have tried them in closed 1x12 guitar cabinets, open back 1x12 guitar cabinets, and a cabinet built exactly to celestion's spec with the porting, exactly to this design https://celestion.com/blog/build-this-f12-x200-1x12-cabinet-design/
I always read that ported sub boxes are louder than sealed, but does it matter to guitar frequencies? Would it be any louder on the mids? I can't really tell the differences between these three cabinets, and it occurs to me that it might just be a good idea to find a loud 1x12 combo amp and just stick the speaker in there and feed my modeller into the FX return. I did just this with a Fender Mustang IV and it seemed to work awesome. (the mustang's power amp measures extremely flat up to 16khz)
Is there really anything wrong with this? Does porting really matter for our purposes? Does the size of the cabinet matter all that much?
the Roland Cube 100 looks pretty smart for this, though it has no way to bypass the preamp
