I don't think anyone here would say anything bad about them, to be perfectly honest.

Who here has them?

Lots of folks including myself.

Do it.

I have the 4x12 and the 2x12. I like the low end on the 4x12 better. Both cabs sound great though, never had any problems with them.

 

[Rob Logic]

I have a 2x12, sounds great. As with the above post, low end is def better on the 4x12.

they make great stuff, tho they're getting to be rather pricey (i think the 4x12's go for $900 new now?)

oddly enough i think the recto 2x12 is the best sounding cab they make...i remember trying one alongside the traditional and standard 4x12's and for some reason the 2x12 sounded the best of the bunch, even tho it's got the same speakers (v30's) and everything

the only thing that steered me away from them was the price tho...i ended up getting a splawn cab at the time because it was $150 cheaper, and had more options to offer...can't say i regret my decision

you can't go wrong with mesa tho, especially if you can buy used and get a good deal

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

You won't regret it. Nice cabs.

we also have to pay $800 for a marshall cab with gt75's, and i think orange 4x12's are in like the $1200 range...don't even get me started on deizel stuff

 

[nuclearass]

Do it. I just bought one and it wasn't cheap :-D. Definately worth it even if it costs more than most other cabs. You will not regret it.

$1200 is a good deal for a orange 4x12 over here they cost more i think people in the states have the best deal when it comes to most gear. Ok OK we have engl

does anyone here have a 2x12 Vertical not horizontal? ive heard the low end is better on the vertical 2 x 12, im def getting a mesa, just either the vert or horizont

 

[NYHC]

I used to jam with a guy who had the vertical 2x12 and it sounded as good as any other mesa cab I've heard. I don't really notice a difference between the 2x12 and 4x12 anyway. Both sound fantastic to me, and if there is any difference it's negligible. The vertical 2x12 is a much cooler looking cab IMO, if that matters to you.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

I recently built a v30 1x12 cab -- gigantic, 20x20x14 (inches) -- sounds effing absofantominal, damn near as good as my Boogie 4x12. In fact, the sounds I've recorded from it have been better than with the 4x12 because I can take my time, recording at home now.

You can buy one from avatar for $200 or built your own for even less, say $150. I should have done this a long time ago!!!

 

[pifos_2]

buy it.
