Impressive stuff!  :D

Is all this gear in your flat "down South", Dave?  You must be getting almost as short of space as I am!  :P

what about a compact 2x12? the roadkill badger i have is almost as easy to move around as the 1x12 cab i have (because of the side handles), and sounds really good. I think zilla does a compact 2x12 as well.

might be worth considering if you really dislike 1x12s...

My THD-style 2x12 is compact, and even with Celestion Golds it sounds "small".  Big cabs seem to equal big tone to my ears.

Cheers Phil  :)  The '65 Empire quarter stack is in the flat, the rest is back home where I can turn it up loud enough to hear it  :lol:

Next time my neighbours invite me over to turn my amp up loud I'll let you know!

I'd like to the the London at some point - "small" amps are the way to go for me.

The London is a lot cleaner than the Empire at lower volumes - it has less preamp gain.  Sounds great wound up at rehearsals though  :)

yeah that's what i sorta assumed before i got this one. However... i am running it with the back off (as i have american-voiced speakers). Maybe it would sound smaller if i closed the back. :? I definitely thought it sounded better with the back off, but i just assumed that was because i had american-voiced speakers which tend to go in open-backed cabs.

Didn't know you had a zilla!

Read the post - I've only just got it  ;)

It's not a bad cab - especially for the price I paid!  I'm not a fan of 1x12s as they don't have a lot of thump to the tone, but it's good enough for rehearsals as it's easy to move about!

Ah my bad, to be honest I only flick through the forum these days and spend more time looking at fashion
