Dude I would LOVE a rhinestone covered ML.Dean ML's can't get any worse anyway... although I'd rather see Hello Kitty and pink rhinestones.
Time to bring this thread back:
The Boss Metal Zone is good, actually. That parametric mid band is FAB.

I honestly think the material the cab itself is made of is less important than how well it prevents sound from escaping out the back and sides.I don't really think that "all marine-grade, baltic birch blah blah blah" makes for a better sounding cab. Some of my favorite cabs have been medium-high to high density fiberboard. There is absolutely an argument that they need to be well sealed to prevent moisture entry, but sound wise? Every bit as good if not better.
It's 2023, your guitar amp/cab doesn't need to have huge, booming, massive lows.
I tend to agree. If it’s built well, sealed well, and the dimensions are right, it will generally sound good with good speakers.I don't really think that "all marine-grade, baltic birch blah blah blah" makes for a better sounding cab.

Also fuck whoever thought speakers should be at anything other than close to head height. How the fuck am I supposed to hear my cab when it's aimed at my ankles![]()
I'm pretty sure audiophile speakers are made from mdf and they tout that as a good thing, because the density is totally uniform. Guitar cabs being Baltic birch has got to be another "this is what they happened to use in the 60s so obviously it is the best choice" situation. As is the case with most guitar stuff.

That being said, if your preferred speaker doesn’t have a lot of high end detail and solid midrange, I do think that MDF will eat some highs one might want.
He meant people who play actual musicMaybe YOUR amp/cab doesn't need to have huge, booming, massive lows. I play solo drone/ambient sets. Helicopter noises or GTFO.
