marshall 1936 cab anybody like it

[tomparks]

i was thinking about getting a marshall 2-12 cabinet. i can get one new for a good price. i just dont know how the sound would be with a smaller cab. i already have a uberkab for serious playing but i need to go away for a couple months and i wanted something smaller to use. im gonna be playing with a uberschall and powerball heads. so if anybody has any info on it please let me know.

That Cab is awesome, haven't tried it with a powerball but i have with a Fireball, it sounded amazing!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] I was playing with a KE2 thru it. You will not regret it and don't worry about volume, it can get LOUD!

Edit:
I should also say that I am using one with my HD147 and it sounds Perfect!

For smaller gigs I will use a 1936 with my Powerball and it sounds fine.

I have one, selling it but for local pickup only. But basically they are good cabs, i just prefer the vintage 30's plus i have too many cabs allready.

+1 for vintage 30's, they're just warmer to me.

They arent bad sounding cabs but the older birch ply versions sound much better to my ears. I also prefer the V30s in mine though I do have one with G12Hs That sounds pretty good.

I like Vintage 30s, but not as the only guitar speakers in the band. They just lack too much definition, but have tons of girth.

I have a couple of Mesa 2x12 cabs, one with Vintage 30s and one with Black Shadow 90s. When you mix Vintage 30s with some speakers that have excellent definition, they sound massive.

I use the 1936 cab with my TSL100. It is definately a lot easier to carry then my 4x12.

I've had 3 of them over time, and used them with a Line 6 HD and later with a POD Pro w/power amp setup. They were PERFECT. They aren't the lightest things in the world though, and are still pretty big considering they're 2x12's.

I certainly liked the 1936 over the 1922 but, I like Mesa and Avatars better (probably because of the speakers they're loaded with more than anything else).
