I'm using this cab for practice at home along side my fractal ax8, direct out. The onboard cab sims are decent and the 8" speaker sounds good at low to half volumes. Anything louder, especially high gain sounds are boomy and very unpleasant. Right away this speaker is not completely flat/ full range, nowhere near the sound of a 112 or 412 analog cab, but that's not what it's made for. The size is compact, easy to haul around for small gigs or practice. Does not sound best right out of the box and needs some tweaking of the on board EQ - treble and bass controls to get optimal output.
