Saw Cheap Trick a few times, and Rick and Tom (and Pete and Jon) would put lights in empty cabs. Looked quite cool, too.

Just don't be in front of the cab when they go off....oh, and you might want the first 2 or 3 rows in front of the cab to sign a waiver of liability...

IMO the bottom ones will be harder to see. I like the idea of lights. I bet you could get a couple of small LED cans that would fit those holes nicely. Get the ones that change patterns to the beat of the music!

|  | Registered User | | | | | How many ohms is a hamster? Can you mismatch hamster sizes or will there be phasing issues?

| | | | You can get Chinese LED par 64's that are programmable for strobe and sound for about $50 each on the bay. I have 4 in my lighting rig and they work fine. Also like the idea of fog, but those machines get really hot, so maybe set it up outside the cab. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: ca | | | Definitely will have phasing issues with mismatched hamsters. Your going to want to make sure all hamsters are of the same size and impedance. MOVE HAMSTERS CLOSER TO TOP OF CAB SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO HEAR WHEN ONE BLOWS! |
