Members C Fuzz Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 After 10 years away from playing live with a band I just got back into it and I hate not having at least a halfstack on both sides of the drum kit. I play rock, not crazy loud metal, just {censored}ing rock. How do you combo guys do it? Are you constantly miking yourselves or does your band play real soft or some {censored}? I wanna feel it yo!

Members cdawzrd Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 My solution is to play bass instead, then I always feel it But when I played guitar, I never played venues with more than like 60 people in them, and my 1x12 combo always sounded plenty loud on half volume... Even with very reinforced bass, bass drum, and a loud drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members C Fuzz Posted October 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 My AC30 is plenty loud... Yeah well here is my problem maybe... The only tube amps I have ever owned are the little 5 watters, Blackheart, epi, royal 8's , etc... I am currently using 2 120 watt SS halfstacks run clean getting my tonz from the pedal boardz, I do prefer it that way. Maybe if I just used 1 big ass tube amp it would work but this is cheaper and more reliable. snoogins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mistersuperfly Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 wellll.... we have as many speakers as 2 halfstacks, but 6 of those are mine. I don't think it's really all that necessary though, I've heard plenty of good bands with combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dap99 Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 I had an Orange AD30TC head w/ a 2x12 cab that when cranked could barely keep up w/ my friends Fender Hot Rod Blues Deville (that thing on 3 is mad loud!!!). Later, I was in another band w/ a guy who had the same fender and I had my Tremoverb w/ a 4x12 cab. He had no problems keeping up w/ me volume wise.

Members Flying_Milkman Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 I use a 60w tube combo, I rarely have to mic it. In fact the only reason I'll have to (from now on) is because we've switched over to in-ear monitors to reduce stage volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
