Bought the Powercab 112 after reading some very positive reviews on specialized magazines, thinking it would help me to achieve live the fabulously clean and driven guitar tone I hear, on Audio-Technica headphones, from some of the Helix LT patches, but unfortunately, I was wrong...
For a long time I was looking for a speaker or amp that could reproduce authentic E-guitar sounds. As Line6 introduced the power cab 112 this seemed to be a really good idea.
Although, for my personal taste, this really good idea does not work because of the lack of a realistic e-guitar sound and some digital restrictions (that may be, because of my taste for tube amps). So I returned the quite pricy cab within a 30 days money back policy, thanks to Thomann fabulous customer service!
To get the best of both worlds live, I now use a Helix LT, as my main pedalboard, into a Fender Princeton 68' Reverb RI modded with a Celestion G10 Greenback.
I can assure you this:
It sounds much better with the Princeton than it did with the Powercab 112. It's just the real thing!
