Tighten the bolt that runs thru it to hold it down.

I prefer the sound with 2 because it does not need to work as hard but it is a very portable setup (I use the walkabout bag in spite of it's overly snug fit. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Los Angeles, CA | | | Just got home from a show where I filled in using my Walkabout through my NV610 with a heavy hitting drummer and a guitarist playing a cranked 100 watt custom Plexi copy through a huge old Orange 4x12 stack. Only vocals and bass drum through the PA in a large/cavernous bar room. The Walkabout sounded huge and tight (thanks to my new fDeck HPF) and didn't even break a sweat headroom-wise. Man I love this amp! Making me second guess my need for the DB750 I just bought (though my main band will have an even heavier mix to work around). One of the highlights of the night was our one cover- "Southern Girls" by Cheap Trick. The grit and punch from the amp were just perfect!

How do you find it tone wise? Are they a good match? |
