Members bullhead Posted August 7, 2008 Members Share Posted August 7, 2008 That's where the angled cab goes... on top of a 1960TV? i sure hope so :love::poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultrahighgain Posted August 7, 2008 Members Share Posted August 7, 2008 Right, that's a full stack. Now why do you want to put an angled cab on top of the full stack Isn't that technically a 1.25 stack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thinkpad20 Posted August 7, 2008 Members Share Posted August 7, 2008 I really like my Mesa cab, but I kinda wish it were angled. An angled cab seems to fill the room better and cut through the mix better. Then again the Mesa sounds great either way so I really can't complain.

Members tlbonehead Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm smart enough to set my cab in position so that it is pointing at my head, regardless of whether it is a straight or slant. Doesn't take too many brain cells to figure that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ultrahighgain Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 1.5stack-and-a-half A 1.5 would be 12 speakers. I only see 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheGreatGreen Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 Jim Marshall invented the angled cab because he thought it looked better with Marshall heads, which weren't as deep as the cabs. It was based purely on aesthetics, nothing else. Sound had nothing to do with it. However, a lot of people say that straight and slant cabs can sound quite different from each other. Some people like angled cabs because they say they project better. Others say they don't like angled cabs because the angle creates phase issues and affects the midrange, whereas a straight cab might be said to sound bigger and punchier, partly because of the straightness of the baffle board and partly because of the larger total space inside the cabinet when compared to slant cabs, which allows for better resonance. As for me, I'd rather just use a straight cab and take the back two casters off and angle the whole thing upwards for the best of both worlds! (I'm using a rack setup, so there's nothing on top of my cab that might fall off!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dropsix Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 A 1.5 would be 12 speakers. I only see 10. Math. Do more math. Now lets try again shall we? 1 cab = half a stack If we have two cabs, we have a whole or full stack. Now what happens when we add another half on top of the whole? We gets a whole an a half, or 1.5 :poke::poke::poke::poke::poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cauberallies Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 A 2x12 is considered a 1/4 stack. 1/4 = .25 Full stack + 2x12 = 1.25 stack. Someone is misunderstanding something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ultrahighgain Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 That big botton cab is just a 4x12...although it appears to have real estate for 6 speakers. ...so after all this it's just a full stack anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 Right, that's a full stack. Now why do you want to put an angled cab on top of the full stack Because if you put the angled cab at the bottom of the full stack, the stack would be top-heavy, unbalanced & topple over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spoonie g Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 Straight cabs just sound better- better bass response, not too much mid-highs, etc.. Angled cabs introduce some sonic anomalies into the equation. If you want to hear yourself better, tell the sound guy to turn your monitor up.
