No I really liked how this sounded live cant judge for recording I heard it with a 5150 mk 3 and it sounded fucking great, I was pretty sober too.........
Im thinking of getting a Bugera 6262...my styles well, I like the bottom end and crushing power, but I still want something that can sing and not sound like ass for leads. Im liking the price I see for Marshall 1960's better than the rest lol.

Vaders are more meant for live purposes. They've got custom designed eminence speakers that are very even across the sonic spectrum. I think Vder has even said themselves htat thier cabs are better suited to live, rather than being mic'd. I'd be curious to see how the man-o-wars in the new "Carnage strain" Vaders sound under the mic.

Vader's blow under a mic and they sound boomy and thin in the high end live. i do dig 1960b cabs and the engl pro. but my fav will always be the mesa cab's for overall sound live and in the studio.

Haha yeah man. I'm going to try re-creating a similar set-up with my axe-fx by simulating the v30's and t75's just like the x-pattern in the cabs. The Uber (Uberschall) amp sim is a bit meh though, so i'll probably try it with something else. I'm considering selling my Mesa OS for one.

got clips for proof?
I've had 3 other cabs before my Mesa OS... Orange, Bogner standard, and Mills Acoustics.
I've still never heard an orange cab mic'd up pull off a great metal tone. They have this dark, compressed, muffled kind of sound...
The Bogner cabs are alright but a lot more middy sounding, kinda honky sounding... probably similar to the regular sized Mesa 4x12s.
The Mills cab is most similar to the Mesa oversized but a little honky in comparison. The mids don't sit quite as nicely as they do with the Mesa oversized.
The Mesa oversized cabs just mic up perfectly...

If I had the money I'd buy a Mesa, for now I have a Blackstar though.
I've used Orange and Diezel and liked them both alot.
Marshall 1960 is good but it's a different sound to the above.

To the OP, you're in the US, thus Mesa Recto Standard cabs are all over Craigslist for under $500, and you'd be crazy to get anything else! (IMO, but not really )
