Members BG76 Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 This is my stripped down rig for my worship band. We worship the Devil, and Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notcool Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 The thing I found funny about some half stack players is that they couldn't get them to feed back properly. I've been using little 112 combos for years and I've gotten great feedback out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shiny_Surface Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Get what you want, not what you need. 4x12's or better yet a full stack sounds better to me for what I want even at lower volume levels, nothing else really matters imo. If I have to transport my rig and I'm feeling lazy, I will compromise and use a 2x12 as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoJo68 Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Every single one of these bands sounds like garbage... 1000 stacks to sound like crap is hardly worth it. Volume doesnt equal tone... its how you push the preamps and tubes... this is just compensation or due to the fact that they're all now deaf..

Members volvo1800 Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I use fourth stacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian May Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Nobody seems to have mentioned the fact that closed back 4x12's are very directional. They spread sound a lot less than an open back 2x12. Its one of the main reasons Satriani spreads his 4x12's horizontally rather than on top of eachother.

Members SteinbergerHack Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Like a lot of guys, I use a 1960A. The main reasons: 1) It was cheap 2) It sounds good (Closed-back, lots of low-end punch) 3) It has wheels 4) My Bogner head fits on top of it If there were an XTC 1x12 or 2x12 combo with wheels, I would be using one and not carrying the 1960. Volume ain't the issue, and that's not a good reason to use a 4x12. If you're louder than the unmic'd drums, you're too loud. In the past, I've done big venues (outdoor festivals, large clubs) with a 30W tube head and been completely satisfied. In fact, a half-stack with a low-wattage head is a pretty good solution. The only problem is that a half-stack in a small club is a bit like a red Ferrari on the Interstate. Half of the sound guys out there will assume that you're too loud before you even turn it on.

Members newmaxnew Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 It is kind of like owning a Corvette. It makes up for other shortcomings:p Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen bands booted from clubs before they even played a single note because the manager said they brought too much gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chairborne Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I like a half stack for the on-stage 'size' instead of 'volume'. But with all the in-ear monitoring, you can get away with next to nothing and have more room on stage. Plus you don't have to haul half a fridge! Jeezus. This guy gigs in the lap of luxury.

I bring 2 of them in to all my gigs with the full band and have never been told that, before or after the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
