What kind of CAB supports 'TATE

Post by Adderall »

I'm looking for the style of cabinet that can 'tate the easiest.

Aren't there some out there that have certain mechanisms so you don't even need to unhook the monitor?

egret 2's have a quick rotate mechanism....but most newer cabs are easily tateable with 2 people...and just 1 person if you are strong

Great! I think I'm going to go after an Egret II then.

I was also concerned about the front of the machine..... If rotating the monitor causes any gaps or holes then I think it would look pretty dumb.

no...with an E2 t has a flip up front hood...yu flip that up and spin the monitor inside...then you just have to unscrew and rotate the bezel(the black plastic part around the monitor)

no gaps in tate or yoko

and nice choice...i have 2 new astro city's myself......depending where you live E2's can be tough to get

where abouts are you located?
