Smallest Rig Similar To...
 

So it's been several year since I've looked at amps and cabs. I really don't know what's out there any what's good anymore.

Right now, I am running a LMII and two Epifani UL110s (the first series). This setup has been great to me and I'm in no rush to get away from it. But I am curious if there is anything out there with the same power/volume in an even smaller setup?

I play with a jazz big band and a quartet. About 50/50 between electric and upright. I like have 1-10 for the small gigs and 2-10s for the big band.

The older I get, the more I value more compact and light setups.

Any suggestions?

You are pretty small already and modular. You can get a one hand option like a G-K MB110, MB112 or MB115 very light but not as versitile as what you have. The new series DO have a chain out so you could add powered cabs.

Funny you mentioned that because I was looking at the MB110 but don't think it'll be powerful enough.

I do have a good setup if I do say so myself. :) just curious what else, if anything, is out there.

I'd wager an audiokinesis thunderchild 112 would beat the two 110 cabs in both volume and ease of movement.

Hmm, I need to do some more research on these. Never heard of them and, just looking at their website, don't care how they look aesthetically. I know, kind of shallow of me and its the sound that matters, but just being honest.

Lots of punch in a smaller package. Plus it's modular.

Hmm interesting. Are you saying do 2 8s? Never tried that before.

Well I had the ONE combo with the 8 for a while. Worked out GREAT for rehearsal with heavy drummer and 2 loud guitarists. I did try it once at a gig and sat it on top of an Epifani UL-112 cab. Filled the room of a small club no problem. Obviously with FOH support this would be ideal.

About 23 pounds for the whole rig/
