Wow, I have dreamed of owning that cab forever and finally pulled the trigger on a used one from the facebook Marketplace.
My story is that I've only either played into a 1x12 Marshall cab, via an Axe Fx / Kemper or a head into a two notes torpedo but I knew that someday I had to try the real deal!
I bought it from Georges of the band From Hell in Oakland, a very nice guy and got it for a good price.
This thing has been through hell literally, with holes in the grill cloth and dings everywhere but I love it this way, looks killer and the speakers have had way enough energy flowing through them to get broken in.
I played non stop for close to 2 hours, trying the cab with my Mark V, Bugera 1960 and 5150 III heads, OMG, now I understand the concept of amp in the room. Very touch sensitive, I got a feeling of being very present with the sound for a lack of better words and it's easy to get inspired even at moderate/low volume when there's such a real physical experience to the tone.
Well, long story short, a real 4x12 cab makes a difference for me even though I am satisfied with the sound of IRs. Now I am wondering if I go direct to FOH for the nest show or if I bring the cab, at least for my stage sound.
