does anybody have any experience using the antidote with the stock Z 4x10? I have been thinking of going for an Antidote in the very near future, and was wondering about this combination quite a bit.. I used to run an RxJr + Z 4x10 a while back and got amazing tones, and i really miss that rig... should never have sold it... I have been wanting to make my way back to Z Land ever since. I was also going to get a 4x12 with austin speaker works KTS-70's sometime down the road as well, as a sort of do everything kind of cab, and im pretty sure the antidote would just melt into that thing.. but what about the Z 4x10???

I bet it would sound Killer! Like 59 Bassman, but more in the Marshall Camp. I have an A-Dote but no 4x10, just a 1x12.

Hmmm, I thought I had posted a reply, but it appears to have vanished. Anyway, I was playing the Antidote through a 4x10 (w Z 10s) last week. It sounds very good. I had been favoring the Z Best, and I still think it has an edge: closed-back design seems to suit the amp. However, most folks would be quite happy with Anti + 4x10, including me

Righteous! I've played ANtidote through one 1-12 Gold.....two 1-12 gold cab's and the 4-10 w/ golds cab. The two 12's is the biggest and fattest, but the 4-10 is just righteous. I'm sure the stock 4-10 cab would be great as well....as Mike confirms.

I just did another listening comparison at pretty decent volume. I kept all settings the same on the amp. The Z Best seems louder, brighter (actually too bright with my settings), and had a bit more punch in the low end. Still my preferred cab for the Antidote. Now, the Z-28 and 4x10...

Here's the Antidote on top of the 4-10. Looks great, sounds even better! Lot's of sound and great tone from a relatively small and easy to move cab.

you guys aren't making it any easier.... I have flirted with the idea of putting some Fane AXA 10 alnicos in the z 4x10 when i get it.. though i hear they're quite expensive but high powered alnico 10's have me salivating

^^^ WOW....$320 a speaker! Yes, would be a high $$$ cab. I'm sure it would sound great though.
...I wanted that sweet AlNiCo tone & feel. That's why I went with the Gold's...and could not be happier~
Good luck!

I compared my Z Best with the 4x10 Z loaded and prefer the Z Best. The 4x10 still sounds great but for my taste the Z Best has that something extra. My EZG with the 4x10's is my preferred choice over the Z Best. Now try to decide Vintage versus Modern? Every hour it can change especially when you start messing around with the EQ and the HV/NV combinations... I still haven't ran my pedals through this beasty yet as I wanted to get a feel for it in all it's organic glory!

Yup, I agree...That something extra, makes the Z best one of the best cabs out there, anywhere! I wish I could lift it w/o my bad back killing me.

Same for me guy's. So far I've tried 4X10 Doc's, 4x10 Greenbacks, 2X12 w/Gold & G12-65, 2X12 with Gold & G12H and Stock Z-Best. Though all sound great with the Antidote, Z-Best still works best for me.....
