I had an old Marshall 412 with t75s. I probably should have kept it but it was beat to hell. Rewired a number of times because of those dumb stereo jacks and just torn up from gigging it in metal band days.

I love how all these guys are so united in getting you to spend more money that
won't change the conditions or circumstances you are living in and with.
Do you. If you don't use it and can turn it into something else go for it. It's not
like it is a rare earth metal map or something.

Sage advice as always. At this moment in time; most of my fun playing is cranking the III through studio monitors.I love how all these guys are so united in getting you to spend more money that

I think a good move is grabbing some closed back 112s with traditional speakers in them. Mainly because I can run whatever amp through them without the open back and IR mental gymnastics the F12 loaded cabs I have currently bring to the table

I used to have a pair of Carvin 412Bs. The old 80s era ones with the metal grills. Loved those things - one got stolen and the other I had to sell to pay rent back in the 90s. Been trying to replace them for years now.
The B version of this. Sounded glorious.

True story. I had a Rev G on layaway and ended up doing like 4 payments till it was mine. I had it and what I think is this Carvin cabs with V30s. Like the crackhead dumbfuck I was; I sold it on ebay because "it wasn't the right amp at the time". After I sold it; I fired it up and it is probably the most regretted "sell something, then fire up to see what you'll be missing moment" in all of my GAS filled history. It was THUNDEROUS. Fucking dumbass

Great amp but I just don't have the desire to turn it on. Biggest issue causing these feelings is almost 100% because of me not having a proper speaker cab. These F12 loaded 112s are great for modeling purposes but not the same experience with amps at all. Running it through the Suhr is a blast but boiling it down to digital at that point makes the III more fun since I am running it through studio monitors. My desire for a face ripping Marshall still burns but that lack of cabinet will have me in the exact same spot in an instant.
I know you are just dying to do this.

It's that 60lbs that kills me
I have the 2x12 combo. 80+ lbs. It’s even on casters and I don’t move it.

Can confirm that the 6l6 sounds amazing with a Mesa 112
The Mesa 112s aren't wide enough. No t-stacks!
The candidates are as follows

There's also some KILLER SLO cabs in purple but you know what that would mean
I can confirm that the closed back wide body Mesa 1x12 is not a T stack for 50 watt 5153!

C90 in it? How do you like it compared to the EVH 212?

Yep, I’ve only used the two together a little but it sounds great. Huge lowend, more than the EVH but that also might be because it’s not on wheels . I have the Mesa at my drummers house right now with my Engl, it’s A very good sounding cabinet and mics up nice too

My EVH head has been plugged into both the EVH 2x12 and my Mesa C90 2x12 for the last couple of weeks. I haven’t gotten to crank them, C90’s have a LOT more mids and I think would hold up much better cranked, but the EVH is more pleasing at living room volume.

In all the time I’ve had these amps, I haven’t plugged the FM9 into the Return of one just to use the power section until about an hour ago. I’m kinda re-thinking the amp thing now because I think a Mesa 2:90 would solve all my “problems”. Every amp sounds so fucking great that I’m having a really hard time justifying the idea of buying a JPIIC+ when there’s already Fractal models of it that sound absolutely ridiculous into a tube power section.
The Bassman and Toucana Clean…..JFC, the depth in the low end, not bass, but tone, is just insane. The 2203…..man, I’ve just been dicking around with my Strat, I don’t even wanna start listening off the innuendo comparisons I can be making to how stoked I am right now.

I'm mainly wondering how the ported cabinets fare and if they add too much bass. I can dial it back obviously. Neither speaker in either cab is considered a classic so it's a crap shoot as far as what sort of compatability these speakers would have with other amps.
At this point I'm obviously overthinking it

Well, if you’re going to overthink it, let’s call in a professional over-thinker. Paging @LiveeviL2000At this point I'm obviously overthinking it

It’s a worthy consideration. My C90 cab doesn’t have the back on it and when cranked up, whatever wall it’s in front of basically becomes a giant subwoofer.
The first time I plugged that cab in and turned it up to compete with a drummer I laughed so hard I couldn’t stop long enough to turn it down because it was in the corner of a bedroom and everything went “OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMM” the second I turned the volume knob up.That thing needs to be like 6’ away from a wall or else it’s reflecting a TON of bass.

Or consider this based on you other post?You're gonna have to send me a pricelist
Marshall 1960B With vented t75s
Cab tolex is in rough shape but no breaks etc, everything sounds amazing. Wouldn't be selling if I had a choice. I will ship but it's gonna be 250$ or more, so seattlites may be more interested. I bought it from racer and added casters, and that's it. 500$ firm, shipping 250$.
