silly.
Had some free time today, lately I've been gigging with a Crown Drivecore XLS1000, Yamaha PB-1 (or Mike Pope Mitre Box) preamp and a pair of Euphonic Audio VL110 transmission line cabs. Excellent performance. I'd been wondering how it would sound with my third VL110 cab, finally got around to trying it today. Pretty ridiculous. The pair already sounded large beyond their physical size, adding the third was just more of a good thing. I'll probably take this out for a real spin this weekend. 
VL110 cabs are a bargain (IMO) on the used market when they turn up, which isn't too often. For my type of gigs a pair is the minimum required. They're 3 way cabs and heavier than their small size might suggest.
I wonder what four would sound like.  |

I got a PB-1 as an inexpensive avenue to decent sound with more power (with a CP2000 power amp bridged) than my EA iAmp-600.
Run those into an EA CX-310 -- I like the PB-1 a lot more than I thought I would -- great preamp!!!
...and the whole rig together is really a killer rig -- solid, tight low end, punchy mid-bass, all the clarity you could ever want in the midrange and treble without being harsh.
I like!!!

+1 for EA VL-110 cabinets. They rock, especially for fretless IMO. I attached a picture from an outdoor gig last month at Walter Read Army Hospital. There was no PA support for bass (the PA in the picture was for another group). Two VL-110's handled it fine, no problem.

And yeah, they love power.
Four stacked vertically would probably be like a full body massage on a gig. |

I love it. It's a 3 space shallow rackbag that has a wooden fabric covered removable insert. Pop one end of the bag open at the gig, slide the rack out and set up. Slides back in easily too. I think it looks alot cleaner than having things setup in a bag. So far it's been very durable.

Honestly I think I made a mistake selling them, but I didn't feel like hauling an amp big enough to power them anymore. They did sound wicked with a GBE1200 though... Maybe should have waited for the Streamliner 900 to come out?  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
