Guys, I keep thinking that I need a different amp as Im not gettign the sound I want.. But honestly, I like my amp otherwise. Peavey Ultra plus. Its versatile and has alot of good tones. I had a revelelation the other day, that MAYBE the prob is not the amp, but my cab.. I recalled how EXTREMELY different my peavey classic 30 sounded when I took out the stock speaker and put in an Eminence Private Jack in it. Sounded like a completely different amp!
I currently run a Carvin MTS 4x12 that has the Carvin BR12 speakers in it. I cant say it sounds bad, but perhaps not as good as it could.
What are good cabinets to buy? Ive heard that the EVH cab is about the bee's knees. But that is a Grand.. Ive also heard Splawn cabs are excellent too!
Ive noticed for years tha alot of guys use marshall cabs, whether they play marshall, pv, mesa etc... Any reason for this? Are they superior cabs or just the name??
I read a recent discussion online about this and several guys said the Marshall cabs were not being made as well.. Alot more pressed board. True?? I dont like to parrot what I read on the net unless its true..
Ive also read about some companies that build cabs that are well made and inexpensive.. Anyone used those?? Avatar I think is one..
let me know your thoughts

Ok, let me take the question to the next level.. The reason I bought the cab I did was because it was well constructed and not super expensive.
So.. What if I replace speakers? can I do one or 2 at a time?
How do you decide what speakers to use? There are so many. How do I know if Celestion vintage 30s or greenbacks would be better?
Eminence makes a bunch too..
Ive only changed one speaker. My PV classic 30. I put in an Eminence Private Jack. It sounds lots better than stock, but I think it breaks up alittle too much..
