Some cabinet common sense needed.

The vertical Recto's orientation means I wouldn't have to bend over to dial knobs. They're really nice cabs that have always been right for something, and the one I used with my Mark V sounded great with it.

"He said bend over, dial knobs."

"I'm more into the wheels than the knobs."

"There's a wheel man in every crowd, right?"

I have one of the recent Boogie 4x10s with Creambacks I like a lot; if you wanted to explore something in an unusual direction with one or more of the amps, it's pretty cool-sounding.
Yeah vert 212 is VERY enticing :unsure:
 
That’s a great format, I used to have a Laney diagonal 2x12 that I probably should have kept.


I actually placed an order for one last year but it was under back order, after over a month I decided to just cancel

Of course a few days later they were finally in stock but I had already allocated that gear money elsewhere :LOL:
 
Vertical is the way.

I want to be careful about shitting on people’s favorite gear, but the sheer number of used listings and negative chatter I stumble across on the EVH 2x12 cab has pretty much sworn me off them permanently. It’s likely a speaker issue since it’s pretty hard to fuck up a wood box in 2025 but what do I know.

I’m really only interested in the following 2x12 cabs:
1. Mesa Rectifier (horizontal or vertical)
2. Orange PPC212 in black
3. Newer Marshall 1936 w/ plywood
4. Bogner 212 oversized
I love my PPC212OB but I want to convert it to a closed back, and eventually get the closed back version to compare I guess. I had the closed back version but I bought it used and it had this fuel smell to it that I could not get rid of no matter what I tried - I sold it off cuz I didn’t want to smell fuel anymore while playing lmao
