changing cabs

[fatoni]

i have a mkiv and a 112 widebody. i just feel the need for something new. i want something that has tighter more prominent mids to upper mids. what cabs would project better and cut without having to be cranked?

so...nobody

don't really know how to help you.. i had the same setup (mk iv wide + 1x12) and recently switched to a vert halfback 2x12" with c90 in the open top and ms-12 in the sealed/ported bottom. i felt like my lows were a bit too flubby/boomy before and i'm happier with this setup now. i find the open c90 to already be fairly prominent in the mids, especially with the mark voicing..

maybe try something with a sealed back?

What kind of 1x12 cab do you have? I just bought an Orange 1x12 and with the Mark IV it sounds so tight and articulate I can't even explain it. I actually prefer the sound of it over either of my rectifier cabs.

Keep in mind getting a different cab won't necessarily allow you to keep it quieter for a similar tone... it may even have the opposite effect.

What would you consider "cranked"? Because each person's idea of loud is different.

Try this: Run Rhythm 1 channel at volume 3, and set your output to volume 3. Run the power amp simul-class, triode and set tweed power. Try that out, I was doing this last night I had a great tone. It was pretty loud, but not painfully so. Is this too loud for you?

EDIT: Also, set your R1 input gain all the way to 10, pushed.

im not too concerned with volume, i just dont want any recommendations because of the cabs volume. ill check into orange, im just looking improved mids and overall tone. if i can hear it, its loud enough as long as what i hear is something i like

Well the Orange cab has a very pronounced mid-range. I think it sounds great

Orange makes great speaker cabs!
