Crate G412 compact cabinet?

[toejam]

Anyone familiar with these cabs? They're a little smaller and more compact than the full-size 4x12s. They also come with Crate's own speakers... are they any good?

in most cases, the smaller the cab, the less bass extension it has. if you are lookig for that chugging palm muted sound, than this probably is not a good choice.

I have one and it kills. It isn't as bassy as a Mesa oversized cab but it is much easier to haul around and it sounds great. I get tons of bottom and it fits in the back seat of my Plymouth Neon.

Cool, thanks! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I don't care for overpowering bass, so I guess it will do. Think I'll get me one soon.

I'm using 2 for my full stack, they work great for me.

Awesome! I've got an MF card, so I just went on their site and ordered one. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
