Blackstar Series One 4x12

[mickrich]

Hi all
There is a Blackstar Series One oversize 4x12 cab with V30s going locally for dirt cheap.
Anyone have one or used one?
Any good?
Cabs I already have are in my sig.
Cheers

Well built but harsher sounding than the Mesa OS. I've had both and preferred the Mesa, even with a Blackstar S1 EL34 head. I had the straight versions of both cabs. The Blackstar has a Marshall style angled baffle where's the Mesa was straight. Also speakers are different as you'll be aware.

Thanks for replying.
My thinking is it would be half way between my Mesa OS and my Marshall 1960 with stock V30s which would be perfect for what I want.
Sometimes the Mesa is too dark and the Marshall is too bright.
For €200 I think I will grab it.
