    I just picked up a Vader 4X12 cabinet today. Found it at the Guitar Center used website in Albany. The ad was so new that they didn’t even have a photo of it. I still brought it anyway and I’m so glad I did. I have a cat so I need a cabinet with a metal grill. I had 2 Vader 4X12’s in the past and it killed me to sell them after I lost my job. I plan to buy 2 more 4X12 cabinets. These cabs are legendary in the death metal / metal scene.

    You should shoot out three heads: Marshall 800, Mesa Dual Rec, 5150. These are kind of the standard bearer and Prolly the most well known high gain heads. Just stack em up on a switcher and use the recto cab and maybe a 1960a as the benchmark cabs? Would be killer to have some labels too as reference.

    @donaldwilkes5488 2 роки тому +3

    Nice video man. I was actually sponsored by Vader in the early 2000's and I absolutely love those cabs. They are so punchy in all the right places. The Mesa sounds a little fizzy to me in the high end sizzle. Also, it looks like your Vader has that truck bed liner like coating on it. This means it is one of the later models. The earlier ones have a very dark blue like tolex on them. There is a slight sound difference between the early and late model Vaders with my favorite being the early models but both are amazing and I think the Vader takes a 57 very very well personally. Keep doing you brother. I'm enjoying the vids. Cheers!

  • @Israfel518
    @Israfel518 3 роки тому +1

    I don't know if you have the KTre still but my main rig is an early production Vader (before the rhino lining) and a boosted KTre. Match that with some active pickups to tighten the low end of the KTre and give that a shot... You'll be moving some serious air. I've run a slew of amps through my Vader and found that the it really starts to shine when you pump some serious power into it. Keep up the awesome work man, love the content!

    Kinda odd... My Vader sounds way tighter in the room to me than my OS Recto cab. I know they're notorious for not taking to a 57 as well as the recto cab. My understanding is they tend to shine with LDCs or ribbon mics.
    They're definitely built for touring with the metal grills and rhino liner covering... They're fkn tanks

    @danielanderson8502 3 роки тому

    Back In 2007 I bought (2) Vader 2x12’s after trying out a Marshall, Orange and Mesa 2x12’s. I liked the Vader’s for awhile but I remember back then NOONE could record with them. The cabs were built with the Peavey XXX in mind. I had a heavily modded Peavey Ultra Plus 120 and I was still lacking something. Long story short I bought a Mesa and ended up selling the 2 Vader’s many years later. I kinda miss them(there is a weight difference as well I think the Mesa has thicker and or more dense wood) but I think I would’ve been happier with V30’s in the Vader’s instead of the Eminence. The comparison in your vids show it has a dark/blanketed sound with a mic close up, but would be good in a live setting.
    Overall I think the Mesa wins but I miss the “cool elite” factor with the Vader.

      @@m1blazer2 Between the dv77 and mesa v30? The V30 is a little more aggressive in the upper mids. The dv 77 is still really aggressive, but a lot clearer than the v30. I tried both cabs in a full band mix and the dv77 loaded vader cab is my favorite. They seem to cut through better for a full band. Could hear the bass more, and the cymbals more clear.

    The Vader wins for me, I'm just not a fan of the fizzy treble sound from that Mesa, although paired with a Mesa amp I can see it making sense since they're a bit more muddy sounding by nature. The Vader just had everything in it's right place for me, I'd love to get my hands on one

    Hey Kyle, do you know the production year of the mesa cab? Does every mesa OS came with V30's ever since?

    • @XChristianNoirX
      @XChristianNoirX 2 роки тому

      All Mesa OS cabs come with v30's. The year of the cab is only a ballpark.. What changes the most is the v30's over time. The date codes on the speakers are your best bet to the different sound signatures.

    Great comparison 👍, I have a Genz Benz G-flex cab that sounds to dark for my taste, just wondering what speakers would brighten it up, so can't wait for the speaker change on the Vader cab if you do it 🤘

    • @DunderHead.5000

      I have a G-Flex 2x12 that was unloaded and dropped a couple of Eminence V12's in it but I may put Deltalite ii 2512's in it for the higher power rating and the ports. If you have a 4x12 G-Flex, Governors might work or the Vintage 30. I'd like to have a 4x12 G-Flex with Governors but the Governors would have to be 175w each.
      Three speakers from Eminence I can think of that are bright are -
      CV-75
      Man O' War
      Wizard

    Very different sounding cabs, needing very different EQ settings. Which cab did you use to set the amp? Try dialing based on the ideal sound for both cabs. Vader ideal EQ and then try that on Mesa. Then dial for Mesa and play on the Vader. There's a million ways to do it but that would give you some really good variety \m/

      I agree. I didn't really tune it to either cab per say, just dialed it in close to my normal settings and then went through both cabs. I'm mainly just looking to show the differences in each cab with the same settings as that will show the tonal differences between the two
