I use this cab as a Low-mid frequency cabinet (above 500 hz). In this configuration, it sounds great. It is powerful enough at those frequencies, and it's a pleasure to move around, as it isin't too big and rather light.

I've also used it as a full range cab for occasionnal jams. It is unimpressive in this use. Though clear, there is not enough low end, its not very efficient. The amp has to be driven a lot to get reasonable volumes with drummer. So--good for multi-cab set up, especially biamped, but not so great as a stand alone.
