largo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Not sure if it's a fair comparison comparing our little 10" speakers to your mighty 15's Deek. But happy to meet up sometime soon. Let me know as my gears all kept in the trailer so I need to bring it home with me. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They can get you pretty much there, it`s just that in comparison to my Super12 the gain is much smoother. I was hoping if I boosted the highs it would be harsher but that`s not the case. For reference, have a listen to the start of this track below, that`s what I got with the S12s and can`t quite get with the Retros, all other gear being the same (Precision, Roto Steel Rounds, Aguilar Tonehammer, Sansamp): [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJMBJAK91M8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=hJMBJAK91M8[/url] BTW, I should point out that I`m in no way criticising these cabs, not all gear works for every application, if I didn`t need such a harsh sound this range would be perfect, and the info on the cabs does say that they are warmer and smoother than the other BF range. I was just hoping I could have a "stack" and still get spiky aggression. Edited September 29, 2016 by Lozz196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 It turns out that Tim Commerford (RATM) is using these cabs now in a combination where some are clean and some deal with overdriven sounds. He does use pretty aggressive tones in some songs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Amazing... I may have my own thread soon, as I know how some people here really like those I ordered the cab a couple of days ago and it looks it'll be sent next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
