What is your opinion on this little ugly duckling? A beautiful studio set-up.

Definitely not going to knock it TS! Two iconic brands can definitely mingle together no matter how odd the relationship! I'm one that doesn't care what others think of my gear. I choose what I like and not what others like.

My Origin 20H on top of 2 Peavey 112-6 cabs. I'm sure it's odd and not appropriate for many. They are fantastic cabs with Greenbacks so really don't care they aren't a matching set. Plus Marshall and Peavey are 2 of the biggest amp brands I remember seeing in all types of 80's rock, metal and pop back in the 80's. My favorite decade by far, so they sit just fine with me.

Sweet set up, no doubt!

SC20H --> Avatar diagonal 212 with G12TAD-30 pair

2525H --> SourMash 2061CX clone with G12-35XC pair


Aesthetic mismatch, tone heaven!

I used a 1980 JMP 2203 on top of an Avatar Contemporary 2x12(pretty much a copy of the Orange 2x12) on its side so the speakers were vertical, for hundreds of gigs. Your rig is like a 1x12 version of mine. The amp hung over the side of the cab exactly the same.

Not really an odd pairing, but this 68 straight cab has an ugly re-tolex and re-grill. Sounds glorious though with my 70 Super Bass, 71 1987 and 79 2203.

My 2204 on top of a homemade “Fender” 2x12.

It's a 60W 4x12. Sinmarc brand I guess. Arial speakers. 15W each one. Alnico magnet. Made in Barcelona. It's an organ speaker. Really old speakers and cab.

Notice orange cab is upside down. Flipped it so V30’s were topside, H30’s bottom. Kinda shit that happens when rolling speaker combos.

5150 80 watt Iconic. Cages removed for easy tube yanking/biasing.

Fender 212 has a Gold/Blue mix. Sounds awesome.

 

[DirtySteve]

Hmm, for the first time in my life I DON'T have an odd pairing.

 

[solarburn]

I don’t own a Marshall cab. I tend to lean towards more value oriented offerings. ORI 50H

So most my shit doesn’t match. That’s how I dress too. People tend to leave me alone. Except the strippers. Green makes em really friendly.

I made this 1x10/12 cab last summer and a DSL1 looked pretty nice sitting on top. My SV20 not so much. Looks quite a bit out of proportion, but it's all I got. Definitely need to build a new cab...

My Origin cabs were never meant to be Origin cabs.
So, kinda "odd couples", but I make them match, so I hope they're not ugly.

O20H cabs were originally CODE50's


O50H Cabs were originally an AVT100C & an AVT112

In pursuit of an extension cab. I collected the sizes of the various Marshall speaker boxes. It may be helpful to someone to reference
for matching heads to cabs.
