Acoustic stack

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, new to the forum, but love it so far. I was curious if anyone out there is playing on an acoustic 410 and 115 full stack. Im currently running an swr 750x through an ampeg 410hlf and im finding that i lose a lot of my clean low end as i add volume. Ive been told its ideal to run the swr through two 8 ohm cabs and that adding speakers will allow me to increase volume without having to crank the gain or volume up on the head. That being said, would the previously mentioned acoustic stack be suitable? Im on a bit of a budget given my upcoming wedding so i sadly cant splurge for anything on the high end. Any suggestions would be great.

Do a search. The 1x15/4x10 issue is raised on average every three days, tops.
If you don't want to bother with a search the answer is get another identical 4x10.

you could use your acoustic stuff, but the ampeg cab sounds so much better that i'd try to find a way to deal.

Unless it's the new rebirth of the old Acoustic Control stuff the Ampeg is the better piece.

Changing your eq may get you what you want. You prob. know this but pre til it blinks back off, Master to taste, Aural E. no more than 11:00 if you use it at all, reduce treble instead of adding bass, effects off. All other controls flat, dial tweeter down so you have it barely on. Then.....live have someone tell you if out in the audience your bass is reduced.
