Cabinet advice for my Vox mv50

Post by Shimmer »

Last year I bought the little Vox MV50 Clean with the Vox BC108 cabinet.
Really happy.
But because we never sit still, should I:
a. Buy another BC108 and run them together which would result in the full 50Watts. And only $149 extra. But small speakers (8 inch)
b. Buy the larger BC112 - 12 inch speaker - but costs $499 - I could still run them together - but so much more expensive... But worth it for a 12"?
I want all the pedals!

Talking with Tod @ MP, he recommends the 12 over the 8. :)

I'd just keep a look out for a second hand 1x12 to go with it, $499 would get you something way better than that Vox 12" cab!

I was thinking that too. According to Vox, cab is designed to match the MV50 - but I'm not sure how much of that is just Vox's way of getting you to buy their gear and how much is legit...

Unlikely. Those Vox cabs are absolutely killer for the money.
