The Mode 4 cabs over sized cabs are sweet, and you can find them for not a lot of money these days. I have the Mode 4 B with vintage 30's in it. It has a huge bottom and and very dark voicing compared to my other cabs.
I thought those mode four cabs came with a speaker based off the V30 but with extra power capabilities. Do the higher watt speakers sound like an original V30?
umm...a black one?
For a dark cab I find speakers are more key than the cab alot of times. Look for a speaker with a more flat response in the high end, and a good strong low end. Emenince makes a few good speakers for this job.
The A cabs did (400 watts), but the B cabs have v-30's.
Hey OOJet,
I'd say it's 50/50 at best.
The difference between a Marshall A and B cab with the same speakers is pretty substantial.
