g-flex 212

[rockinhockey]

Hey guys,
im may be getting a head very soon and ill be needing a cab to go with it and i figured i won't need a half stack yet so i was looking at these g flex's and it seems like everyone has them. so how are they for metal? do you guys think these are nicer than say a mesa 212 with v30s or any other 212s? and how are they for transportation? are they easy to carry because apparently they don't have casters? any other useful information appreciated. thanks guys.

Ever since I was proud enough to show my rig, I love posting pics of it

The G-Flex is SUPER easy to carry even without casters since the handles are at the top, you don't have to break your back bending down so low to grab it (like the ENGL cab which have handles in the middle). Plus it's light as hell. The V75's are darker sounding than V30s, but are super boomy without being flubby


Combine the 2 and it sounds unreal


*edit*
If I were to only pick 1 cab, I think I'd personally go for the G-Flex over the ENGL cab, just cause V30's are a little too bright for my taste (well, the only cabs with V30's I've tried are ENGL and MESA 2x12's)

Thanks man thats exactly the description i was looking for. everyone seems to have them but i never knew why.

I've got 2 of the 4x12s. GB made their name by building kickass enclosures. I don't see myself using anything else.

BTW, Genz Benz means:

Genz=Genzler (Jeff Genzler)
Benz=Cabinet (term used in the industry)

I've got 2 of the 2x12 GFlex cabs myself, but I'm thinking about selling one and going with a 4x12 on top of one of the gflexs. It seems like the dispersion on them vertically isnt very high, and they sound alot better when the cones are closer to ear level. I thought about getting an amp riser, but I don't want to decouple the low end from the ground, as the genz benz kills in that department. I'm considering getting an ENGL 4x12 to match my Powerball.

How would the stock speakers in the g flex compare to say, an avatar 2x12 with v30s?

I love mine.Its easy to carry,it sound huge and got some punch,low end is amazing and stay tight and higher notes sound deep,warm and clear.Overall its kickass and have huge balls.
