Got the Night Train Cab over the weekend, so I finally have the cab designed for the NT. The V112NT comes loaded with a 25W Celestion Greenback. First impressions are how small the cab is. It's significantly smaller than the V112TV cab I've been using. It's also somewhat heavier, indicating quality construction. It is also a semi-open back cab (like an AC15).
The cleans aren't quite as chimey as with the V112TV cab and the highs are slightly rolled off in comparison, but the bottom end is fuller (amazing considering this is in a semi-open back cab, vs the other closed back cab), though a bit looser. The overdrive/ distortion sounds a bit smoother and slightly less raspy on the top end. My delay pedals also seem to stand out in the mix a lot more, to the point that I've had to turn the mix levels down on them. That would indicate a bit more mid presence. Though barely noticeable audibly, it seems to make a big difference to the delay pedals. It's not better or worse than the other cab IMO, but different in a good way. I like it.
Problem is I can't afford to keep both cabs even though I like 'em both so the end result is the smaller Night Train cab is staying and the V112TV (white/ cream one pictured above in the post) is for sale. Check it out on JHB Gumtree and in the GFSA classifieds.
