Avatar Traditional 112 w/ Creamback M65 for DSL20hr?

[skiltrip]

Still on the hunt for a killer 112 cab for my DSL20hr head.
I'm using a Seismic with a Texas Heat in it, but I want to move that back to pair with my Bugera V22 head for cleans. I want to get a killer slightly oversized 112 for the Marshall. The Avatar Traditional 112 seems a good way to go. I can get a Creamback in it, and get the convertible back so I can make it open or closed, all for under $500 shipped.

Any thoughts on this Avatar Traditional 112, or alternate suggestions? Budget is flexible but I wanna keep it under $700 total if I can. I want to get something I am going to be psyched to have.

I prefer the sourmash. you can get it in convertible back and in any combination of tolex, grill cloth an piping at no extra charge.

I have a tweed avatar cab too, quality as well. I think avatar does fender better than Marshall.

Check out guitar cabinets direct - they are a wholesale cab supplier for many big name distributors at wholesale prices. Youll find what you’re looking for there I’m sure

Thanks everyone. I'm checking out some of those other options. The Avatar still seems like a good call though!

The Marshall MX112 or MX212 would match the DSL.
Needs a speaker upgrade though...

I'm wary of those because of the MDF. Should I not be?

I like mine a lot. I don't have many pictures but found this one from a gig. It's got a 25w Greenback. Built quite solidly and has a stock Avatar daisy chain style jack on the rear.

I have 2 MX112's.
Every (Marshall) cab I own, that I haven't made myself is MDF.
Cork sniffers with vintage plexi amps and stacks of 4x12 cabs prefer Baltic birch, but for a 20w amp going to a 1x12, I don't think there's much of a problem.
A good speaker is going to affect the tone way more than the cab material.
Just don't take them swimming.

I have an Avatar 4x12. It's the one in my profile pic. It's a great cab. Built solid and sounds great!

Another vote for Sourmash.
