Affordable 2x12 cabs with V30s

[Chri]

The title says it all. I'm looking for a well built 2x12 guitar cab loaded with v30s for recording. I'll be using an Engl Fireball 100 with it and miking with either a SM57 or SM7b.

My budget would be at max $600 though I'd rather not pay that much. I will likely be buying used if that makes a difference at all.

(I've already looked at the Mesa cabs, I just want to see some other options.)

Same here. Mine was around $400 used as I recall, maybe $450.

I bought a couple Legacy 2x12s off Craigslist for $250. Mint condition. Otherwise they are about $499 brand new I believe.

He asked for a cab loaded with V30s. Instant fail for recommending Vaders.

I hear lots of great things about the Avatar cabs. Their construction are very similar to Orange cabs, so you should like how they mesh with the V30s.

I also really liked my Lopo 2x12 that I had for a few months. They use very nice tolex that stands out.

Yes! Mine was somewhere around that price too. It has casters too, which is extremely useful for lugging it around!

I use Framus 212 V30 cab. For the price, its a great cab.

White box cabs

I've heard that Bogner cabs are excellently built. Of course you could get a matching Engl Pro 2x12 in black, which is what I'd reccomend.

Also, OP wants V30s so Vader is out of the question.

Maybe check out Whitebox engineering too, they're a relatively new brand, but getting alot of reputation.
