I got my
Schroeder 1212L cab last week and hooked it up to my
SWR WP 400 when I got home yesterday from visiting my folks in Pa.. It was the first time I got to run the 400 as well because I didn't have a cab to run it through..
Anyway.. so far.. I like it.. the head is pretty nice.. I like the 1212L config but I am still considering adding either a 15 cab or a 210 cab to it.. Leaning more to the 15.. but the 1212 seems to handle that low B very well.. so it isnt a hot priority.. I really wont know for sure about the other cab until I do a gig with it.. and so far we have a small church and a prison lined up.. so the 1212 should do me fine for now.
The head has a feature called the Bass Intensifier circuit which boosts the lower freqs.. It also has a nice midrange EQ that lest you fine tune the mids.. overall I like the setup.. The amp is kinda heavy though.. 25lbs. I have it in a Gator case.. I originally wasn't going to get that particular head.. but I had a major DA moment and wound up getting some money tied up in a local music store so I had to go with what they could get. One thing that I don't like about the head is that it is noisy.. but it does sound good and I am amazed at how different I sound through better gear. I can hear myself much better warts and all, but that is a good thing and helps me to work on my technique even more because I can hear myself so much better.. The amp itself is not very noisy at all.. it is just the fan noise that is kind of annoying to me.. but I imagine I wouldn't hear that too much out on an actual gig.. I was thinking of trying soundproof the case somewhat but of course I would have to be careful to keep it well vented. Another thing that kind of annoys me is that I have the cab on it's side.. and the head is actually wider than width of the cab.. so it doesn't have that symetry that I like.. When/if I get another cab I can lay this thing back on it's bottom.
