More is more... 16x 12" speakers

Post by i love sharin foo » Thu Dec 07, 2023 6:55 am

I've always meant to have two full stacks and finally righted that. It feels great. When I want to play slower and heavier, this is the rig.

Thanks!

The top left cab has a couple Greenbacks and a pair of some kind Webers. I forgot which ones to be honest. I’ve had that cab almost 20 years and haven’t had it open in a long time. The two newer Oranges are V30s and Matamp cab has Creambacks. Notice, I run the V30s on the bottom. They handle lowend nicely but I don’t love the upper mid bump that they have. But they balance out fine.

I always wonder what my playing would be like if I had a rig like that. 8)

Louder. Much louder :D !!

I use it to play slow, downtuned stuff. Usually tuned to A or B. Mostly all low end, very little high end. The bass frequencies really need a lot of volume to get to the sound pressure that I like. In that room, at those volumes, the guitar comes alive. The interaction between the air and the guitar is amazing. Not feed back in the way of screeching noise, but rather with near infinite sustain.

Funnily, most of the sound is a mic'd SF champ behind the third cab from the left.

The head/cab ratio is… odd.
