DT25 combo vs head + cab loudness

Hey all,

 

I'm considering buying a DT25 to use with my POD HD400. My question is would the head + cab be much / any louder than the open backed combo? My old rig consisted of a Tech 21 Trademark 60 plus a Power Engine 60 (both 1x12) which was probably slighly overkill for most gigs (never turned the combination above halfway even with a seriously loud drummer). My sound is much driven these days but I am still a little concerned a DT25 won't be loud enough. The style of music is along the lines of The Birthday Massacre i.e. downtuned rock but not shouty metal.

 

All opinions welcome!

 

Ben

    I think two 112 cabs is enough with the DT25....I have a DT25 head with the stock cabinet. It's quite good, but with only a single 12 @ 8 ohms it is a bit underpowered and not moving quite enough air for my taste...When I use my DT25 head alone (I also have an HD400), I use a sealed 212 cab that I have ad for a long while...loaded with 8 ohm speakers...The trick for using this amp with a band and getting enough clean headroom with a real drumset is running at 4 ohms...At that point, it is just enough where I can get a nice pushed tone...no attenuator needed...
