Ever play a Solo 50 through a 112 cab?

I have a 4X12, wondered for just taking my head to a friends and jamming if a 112 would work? If so, what one do you suggest?

Well I can tell you my Rect-O-Verb, which is very similar to the set up you are talking about is extremely loud if that's what you are wondering. It's basically what happens if you put a Solo 50 head on a 1x12 3/4 open back cabinet. During practice I dont turn it up nearly as loud as I could.

not so concerned about volume as tone.

I use my Mesa 1X12 cab with my Dual for everything sept live shows. It has a black shadow speaker that says it will handle 90 watts, but I don't want to find out if that is true or not. It keeps up with our drummer so it should be O.K. with what your doing and to me it sounds just like a baby Recto without the bass thump. If I need more volume I set the whole shebang in a chair. Get One!

Thanks, they make a recto 112 with a V30 rated at 60 watts. I might pick one of those up. $449. not horrible.

That will work fine. If you know what "Cone Cry" sounds like you'll be fine with the power rating. If notes start sounding a little hazy or worblie, back the volume down a bit. But that is crazy loud when that happens.

F/ck cone cry. I don't know what was the deal with my 2x12 rec but i couldn't rid it of the cone cry.

I also see that there is a Roadster 112 as well. What say ye?

 

[tennisplayer]

any thoughts on the Roadster 112 cab vs. the recto?

Haven't tried them.
