Hi all, I have a Hot Rod Deluxe III with a Cannabis Rex speaker which I love at moderate volumes but when I start opening it up the bass gets really flubby and undefined, to compensate for that I've been rolling the bass off on my overdrive pedal (timmy) and that makes it more usable but still muddy. I'm looking for an extension cabinet to help spread the load at high volumes, I played out of a Dr Z Z-Best cab and it was obviously and amazing improvement but out of my price range. A friend has offered to build a cab at cost and we have settled on an 8ohm 4x10 cabinet, has anyone tried this sort of setup with a hot rod deluxe? I know playing through a 2x10 cab that the bass got way tighter and made it much easier to dial in the tone I'm looking for but we're thinking the 4x10s would add even more depth to the sound even if it didn't necessarily add more volume. Any advice/experience with this setup would be awesome. I'm playing high volume delay and overdriven slow ambient blues music if that helps. Thanks!

The HRDvl 4x10 combo has a similar amp to the HRDlx, and the HRDvl that I owned definitely had tight bass response, no flub at all. The sound was great, but it was just so darned heavy. :shock:

Since you already tried the amp with a 4x10, and liked it, I think you have your answer. :)

Por favor, disculpe mi español, no se llega a la práctica con mucha frecuencia.
