I've heard mesa cabs are pretty sweet wit the 120 head, if your willing to shell out the $$.

Yeah! Mesa cabs are amazing with this amp. I use two Mesa Rectifier cabs (2X12) with it. Unfortunately, one of them new is around 600 bucks... But can't complain as far as the sound and build of them goes... They truly are dream cabs (in my perspective) haha

I don't know... I've never actually owned any other cabs other than the Mesas I'm using... I know, I'm spoiled xP. But try checking musiciansfriend, just search cabs and then list the prices from low to high; I remember seeing some 4X12 for around 200 bucks. I don't know how they are though... Only way to find out is to try 'em.

Was thinking about Marshall MG412B?
Anyone tried that yet?
Do you think guitar center will let me bring my 120W head to plug it in and see???

Actually, going to GC with your head is a great idea.

That way you can see which one you like the sound of and you will know that it will work with your amp.

Try as many as you can

Good luck

GC is usually pretty good about letting you bring your own gear to test. It could result in a sale for them :D

I've just ordered a 212 cab with Celestion V30 in them. It's from a german site though. Cost me 199 euros and I'm gonna check them out this weekend.

I'll see if I can mic them up and maybe record a clip for you, if I have the time.

Here's a clip I recorded last night. I didn't put much time in the mic-placement or the tone, just dialed in a 6505 with pre-gain half up.

Enjoy and excuse me for the poor performance. I'm not a guitar-god...
