WOW, thanks Todd, I didn't even know those isolation cabs existed. They are around £340 here. Given I can "safely" put out around 85db what tonal differences could I expect if I had a non isolated 12 compared to a more crank 12 in the ISO cab.
Also, how many dbs does the ISO cab "hide"? Thanks Todd UPDATE: Have you used one yourself Todd? I'm a bit concerned  https://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-many-gui...lation-cab.html This post has been edited by Phil66: Dec 24 2015, 08:43 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I"ve tried them in guitar center and they do a really good job of reducing ambient volume. EVen if your amp is cranked, the sound in the room will be quiet. Like a muffled amp in another room. You do hear some low frequencies come out so some folks put the is cab in another room or as far away from the mix speakers as possible.
They do a great job of letting you crank your amp without waking the neighbors They are very handy for home recording. They are twice the cost of a single 1x12 though. You have to decide which works best for your situation QUOTE (Phil66 @ Dec 24 2015, 02:14 PM)  WOW, thanks Todd, I didn't even know those isolation cabs existed. They are around £340 here.

Thanks Mertay,
I don't have the tools or time to make my own, would that Marshall 4x12 sound good mic'ed up?? It does look nice too  Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

It does look nice too Cheers Sorry I haven't demoed one, why not grab a guitar and go to your local music store? there's a good chance they'll have a ht1 there and as the amp isn't large you'll demo them easy. The mg412 by the way seems like it isn't too expensive compared to the fender cab. I gave example, but as said its so much about personal taste (who knows might sound great or terrible with a blackstar amp...) . Incase you'll find one to listen, it looks like this; http://mydukkan.com/urunler_detay.asp?id=28268&gid=690 By the way, you do have amplitube and the cab.s in gt001. Its not the best way for sure but if you can't go to a shop for any reason just plug your guitar and demo those cab.s by selecting an sm57 as mic. . Atleast it might give some idea on brand characteristics among cab.s, just make sure you always use the same amp. This post has been edited by Mertay: Dec 25 2015, 12:42 AM |

Thanks Mertay,
I think it was the Christmas spirit (Jack Daniels ) making me want that 4x12  I'm going to look into a 1x12 in the new year, probably Marshall or Blackstar. Because of work and other commitments I struggle to get to guitar shops other than my friend's which is only 5 minute from work so a lunch break visit is good. Problem is, he is very small and only has a few combos so I have to take the mail order or eBay route. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Mertay,
I'll get the tone thing done very soon, maybe tonight. I'm thinking of going for Marshall because the people that started Blackstar are ex Marshall designers so the bloodline will be their if you know what I mean.

Thanks Mertay,
The amp definitely sounds better with the volume knob full and controlling the volume with the pedal. Here is a full explanation of ISF Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

That would work!
Any 4x12 will do or any 2x12 or 1x12 to be honest The 1x12 is the most affordable. The iso cab is nice, but costly for a 1x12 enclosure QUOTE (Phil66 @ Dec 24 2015, 04:33 PM) Thanks Todd,

QUOTE (Phil66 @ Dec 25 2015, 11:20 PM) Thanks folks, Need to start looking at the Vox next, also thinking of getting a Laney like THIS Can be set to less than 1 watt Cool, this time could you set the tone control to 1 o'clock and rest of the pedal adjusted same as before? amp settings flat and just 1 recording enough. I'd like to nail a default tone knob setting area so you won't have to adjust much when swapping amps Also, if you record over a backing track for a lesson these days try with the blackstar+pedal with the adjustments we made. I'd like to listen an example on how it sounds with a backing track, give quick tips if needed for the gitar to cut through the mix. As for the laney lets not rush as we've just started figuring out potential of current amps
