If you could only have one 4x12 on stage with your Rectifier

[barneyc4]

would you have a slant or a straight one?

I'd go a slant... Actually I have gone a slant cab - spread the sound around more.

Slant for me too.

 

[nemesys]

I prefer a straight cabinet. Slants, to my ears, tend to be a bit piercing in the upper mids to low treble range, and have some uncomfortable interactions between the sound waves about at head level.

Disclaimer: I don't play a Rectifier, and they have a reputation for being somewhat bottom-heavy, so a slant may be a good fit for one.

i have the best of both worlds. i have a straight front cab with a slant baffle. i like the look of the straight cabs, but the slanted baffle is nice. projects the sound a little better.

 

[Kung-Fool]

Straight traditional all the way.

 

[oyster]

Slant standard recto 4x12

 

[DirtyNoise]

Straight traditional all the way.

Same here!

If I only take one 4x12 it is a slant for better dispersion. In this case, it would have to be a Traditional for the tightness of it.

 

[BENNY]

straight. they sound better.

 

[Cleekster]

I'd have to say Straight......because you get a deeper, beefier and quite frankly a better sound........and unlike with angled cabs the tone doesn't thin out when you stand in certain spots.don't get me wrong i've owned slant cabs but i just prefer the sound of a straight one.

The only 4X12 I wheel around isthis Beast.
