Ok, so I've been deliberating what cab to get to go with my SRZ. I've played (and gigged) with the 2 G12H30s, but I just got a chance to hear it through the 4x10s in my Fender HR Deville. I like the low and mids on the 2X12, which had a darker sound but not muddy (the combo is open back). The 4x10s were MUCH louder, and were chimey and bright. The low end seemed decent, and I know that some mids are taken out from the 4 speaker configuration. I liked the cut and breakup in the higher registers. Oh, and each speaker was 30 watts. Both times I used these settings:
Gain 10 o'clock Volume Max Bass Max Mids Max Treble Noon
The only thing I changed was the Presence at 3 o'clock with the 2x12s and noon with the 4x10s.
I like the clips of the Weber Blue Pup Alnico 10", and to pair it up with a Silver Bell type, probably ceramic to keep the low end tight. Both will have medium dope.
Now to the real question! I know BW has a cab with 1x12 and 1x10 in it. Does anyone else have experience with this? What are the pro's and con's? I'm not worried about power, since the 60 watt power handing in the 2X12 is holding up fine (I don't always dime the volume either). I'm just curious about tone, and I'm trying to not let the volume get out of control (the 4X10 was too efficient).
Sorry for the long winded set up!

I have no experience with a mixed cab, but I know that Tone Tools is making them now. Cas is a forum member here now. www.tone-tools.comjus

Hi Skydog, I've built 1012's for the last 3 years and so far folks like the mix of the 10 and 12 for versatility. The 10's tend to have a nice mid/high with a punchy low end and this complements the 12's very well. This year we've introduced speaker switching option to alow for the use of just the 10 or just the 12 or both. Adding to the verasitly of this set-up. It's a great recording tool also with that many choices for tone. Power is only an issue depending on the speaker power ratings, but most of today's speakers can handle more than most of us need. You are correct on the ceramic, it will help keep the low end tight. The Alnico will deliver a nice creamy mid but not punchy on the low end. Here's a 1012 with the switching option: Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the info! I may never decide what cab I want, I flipflop almost daily.

Cas To me this with the switching option is an amazing and very creative tool. I agree with Skydog, it's very difficoult to decide...
