WCA 211 Pro as a standalone??

[bassment]

Hi guys,


I was just wondering, since I'm probably going to switch my x-treme 5.1 to a tubepath 5.1 and could have the wca 211pro quite cheaply with the tubepath, is the 211pro suitable for small gigs without any low-end support?

Sure I know that there are many 2x10 combos and such, but anyway. I have a wca 411pro but it's so powerful, that I think I could get better sound out of my head at smaller gigs with a smaller cab since I could run the head louder without being too loud (like cocktail parties and such) Amplifiers tend to sound better when there's enough master volume turned on...

But do you think I could manage smalla gigs with x-treme/tubepath + wca 211pro alone?

Of course I've got to try it out, but what do you think? Any experience?

The WCA211 is a great standalone cabinet - plenty of low end. Of course it's only a 2x10, so it's not super loud, but I've done plenty of small gigs with it and it's been more than up to the task.

I've tried the xtreme 5.1 and the WCA211 pro cab at a store. I don't dig the sound of 2x10 cabs myselv. But it was enough. And it was a good 2x10.
For small gigs and home practice (Master turned low) It'll be goood

thanks guys, thanks a lot!

I remember I've tested it once with a profet 5.1 and that it had a very decent sound, but then I was searching for an amp and wasn't interested in that cab.

But very nice, very nice. As I said, I have the 411pro so volume is not a problem when needed (and especially if I use both 411 and 211 and have my head running at 4 Ohm... :twisted: )

My only problem is that now I have to struggle against some severe addiction towards the tubepath in that store waiting for me to get it....

And of course, IF I buy it, I'll have to get my x-treme sold.

And please be sure not to turn up the master volume too far. When it starts crackling and hissing at you, your cab's not happy..just like with cats (I have one hanging on my leg at the moment, 'cause she's not allowed to go outside here).

You won't believe the sounds coming out of that little critter :shock: Thank god the cat belongs to my sister and is only staying with us for the weekend.

Well, now I own both of them! the tubepath seems to be exactly as great as it's been celebrated on this forum...
