Hello,
I can't try those cabs for a Mark V head and have a hard time deciding between both.
Has anybody have experience with the two? For the high gain sounds, the front ported / closed back seems a better bet, but the open back may have the edge for fuller sounding cleans and crunches. Supposedly, the front port makes the widebody a less straight and focused than a regular closed back.
A couple of questions here:
1 - Has anoyone experieced both speakers and what is the verdict?
2 - Do the difference between these cabs matter a lot when the cab is miced up to run through a PA?
3 - DIY question: If I get the open back version, and cut a plank of wood to size to close the back of the speaker when needed, will it be as effective?
Thanks in advance!
