Cab advice

sherpa_man

I'm looking for a good cab, I have a Mesa jp2c and a Friedman butterslax.

i would like a 2x12 as I am limited with space.

what can you recommend?

SPAM ALERT!!!
My cab maybe?

Big & light, played it with a MkV and a LSC; sounded great.

Mesa Rectifier 2x12 should work well with the JP, if that Friedman amp works well with V30s it will probably work well there too.

I've never tried the vertical, but it is different dimensions so it will sound different.

I've got two of the horizontals and I think they're one of the best cabs you can get - very well made and I think they sound great.  They're essentially the same dimensions as the bottom two speakers of a 4x12 cab, so plenty of tight punch.  I've tended to find going beyond that amount of space per speaker (assuming a closed back cab) means it is looser and bigger sounding, but more deep and thumpy than tight and punchy, if that makes sense.

Great stuff, that's what I thought. I will get one on order now!

Get the horizontal and fit a second set of feet on one end .

As @digitalscream did to his JetCity cab, which I now have. 
Makes it very practical in tight spots.
