    Gallien-Krueger MB800

    Eventually I want 2 Neo 212s under it, but for now, any gain or volume adjustment is made with baby steps for sure! It kicks the heck out of the Peavey Tour 700 its taking the place of.

    Gallien-Krueger MB800

    I received my MB800 last Friday and tinkered with it over the weekend. I love it! Currently its just powering an old BLX 115 cab with an 8 ohm 400w Celestion speaker and slaving (due to impedance) my old Backline 600 which powers my two 1x10 Promethean cabs. Strange setup, I know, but its just...

    Splitting the Main Out Signal?

    Sorry, I was under the assumption that the parallel inputs were between channels 1 and 2 and not the two on the same channel as if it were running one input per the 2 outputs like in bridge mono... in that case I would only have one input passing on the signal to the crown... The stage at the...

    Splitting the Main Out Signal?

    Thanks for the clarification. I was unsure about the parallel input portion. Looking at the Crown manual, when running in bridge mono mode, it only allows for one output to be utilized, and is only able to run at an 8ohm load. So it looks like the amp passthru option won't work. Unfortunately...

    Splitting the Main Out Signal?

    The manual doesn't state anything about using both sets of outputs simultaneously. If they are wired in parallel that would drop our load to 2 ohm. I know the particular amp is capable of the load in stereo, I'd prefer to avoid the strain on the equipment if possible since its going to be an 8...

    Cobalts

    Decided to buy a set a few weeks ago. I liked the sound on my 15 for an aggressive growly modern rock sound, but nothing to go crazy over. Really just doesn't work well with my 2-10's with tweeters. Even with passive pickups and no pick I ended up with a piercing attack sound and I have to...

    Splitting the Main Out Signal?

    That was my initial thought but I was told the cabinets only have a single combo speakon input on them. EDIT: After looking they have a speakon and a 1/4 "parallel in/out" but they are rated at 4ohm, chaining them would drop to 2ohm. The Crown can't pull 2ohm. The amps are a QSC 2450 and a...

    Splitting the Main Out Signal?

    We haven't played a larger venue that doesn't have house sound, so I'm trying to fill the room with what we have, so this question arose. We would like to run our 4 JRX125s as mains, pairing them on each side for stereo sound. Typically we only use 2. Will splitting the signal with a y-cable...

    Ibanez Promethean 5110 combo

    Awesome! I used one of those with the extension cab at gigs and received so many compliments on my sound. Even playing with a loud drummer, I ran the gain and master about 10 o'clock. If you can find an extension for it, it definitely is worth it. My amp ended up doing some weird things and had...

    Signal sensitivity question

    I had taken my back up amp just in case. I did end up using it. The setup went: Peavey to my two 10's and the tuner out to my GK backline 600 main input which ran a 1x15. No problems! Worked great for dialing in the cabs, I had separate volume and eq control, for the different speaker types...

    Signal sensitivity question

    I'm running a Peavey Tour 700 for my main rig. Want to run to a satellite amp "has no effect loop" in another room to compliment a loud speaker. (basically a slave) It states in the manual that the tuner send can also be used as an unbalanced D.I. It says the tuner send and the XLR D.I. is...

    Racing Anyone?

    Oh, how I wish I had video!... Sadly it has not graced youtube. Different events and different bands happened every night, they had just told us it was at the beer pavilion and it was luck of the draw that we got mud drag night. When I scouted the setup area the trailer wasn't there, I thought...

    Help me pick a bass

    As with any bass be sure to try it with your setup if you can. I looked at an Ibanez when I was in the market and the newer ones with the super thin bodies and active pickups seem really attack heavy. I like a setup with some growl if I need it, but I would have had to seriously eq it to make it...

    Racing Anyone?

    This has been a while ago but, its a fun story to share. We played a show at a County Fair a few years ago. We were to set up on this flatbed near the beer tent along the fence next to a dirt track. They booked us on the night of the mud drags and we were on the slow down end of a very dry...
