Members RoboPimp Posted June 26, 2012 Members Share Posted June 26, 2012 lately I've been using a speaker simulator and going direct to the PA well this past weekend I decided to take this thing out to the festival man is it a PITA to move but so {censored}ing fun to play. I'm sorry, princetons and deluxe reverbs sound wonderful but this thing just puts them to shame. maybe if I put wheels and lights on it I can make a small trailer out of it...

Members hangwire Posted June 26, 2012 Members Share Posted June 26, 2012 get a real amp and guitar if you have to play shows. I suggest a Krank Amps or Dr. Z Maz, and a Gibson Les Paul or SG depending on what type of music you play. Maybe consider meeting with your favorite music store clerk about putting a rack together to make touring easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members imbuedblue Posted June 26, 2012 Members Share Posted June 26, 2012 {censored} yeah! I'd totally rock a Showman if I played more festival dates. There's nothing like that feeling that you can just lean back and let the sound hold you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted June 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2012 indeed, that massive cabinet has so much low end, it's just bad ass. I had it up to about 4 1/2 and it was thunderous. The funny part is it's only a 2x12" cab, but I put high powered, super efficient EV 12L speakers in it and now it's a beast. The cleans are really some of my favorite and it takes dirt pedals with no problem. The reverb is awesome but that's also the reason the head is so huge, the reverb pan is supposed to be mounted on the inside of the face of the head. I think it was supposed to help with microphonics or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high efficiency and power handling of that speaker would be perfect for the Showman - and make it incredibly loud! Very nice rig Robo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted June 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2012 My Mexicans will blow it out of the water on all counts. I'm sure if you look at individual guitars you could find a MIM that is nicer than a squier but I've compared them quite a bit and on the average never felt that any MIM blew anything other than a limp goat dick. Esp when you consider how much they are charging for em now. To be fair I also have this opinion about the MIA ones. Leo Fender designed his guitars to be mass produced cheaply and still be high quality, durable instruments so IMO the squier to me fulfills his true goal better than any other country/price level. They play great, have perfectly fine fit and finish and you can throw one across a bar room or kick it across a parking lot and it will most likely still be ready to go next gig.
