    Who's rocking two fifteens, no tweeters?

    My 1st cab was a home-made 1x15, 2nd was Carvin 1x15 -- I loved that metal grille look. Then I found an Ampeg 2x15 in the local bargain paper... ( think : craigslist ). And I still have it. It doesnt get out much. I also have a SVT-115E, which I'm thinking about getting a 2nd and dumping my...

    New lemmy Sig From Marshall

    All I can say is his sound is NASTY!! I love it... Last time I saw him in a small club (<1000) he played 2 or 3 stacks... ( they were back to a 3-piece at that time )... And all the sound was coming from the stage... I think it was the Dio tour... Amazing!!

    What are the best amps Peavey ever made?

    I saw one of those Classic 400 / 8x10 stacks in tweed a number of years ago, and I thought it looked ( and sounded sweet ). Another amp that should've never been discontinued.

    how much louder is gbe1200?

    More speaker area does not equal more volume. Volume is based on the load presented to the amp, efficiency of the amplifier, efficiency of the speakers and cabinets at given frequencies and a whole lot more. More speakers may ( or may not ) equal more dispersion as well. However, it has some...

    Tone - what exactly is it?

    Computers / electronics ( oscillators ) can make pure frequency tones ( think 8-bit atari music, not very musical or pleasing to the ear ) ... Instruments ( or objects in general ) have tone based on how much of the fundamental vs. the overtones/harmonics you hear. For example, some woods will...

    Re-tubed my SVT 3 Pro / owners

    So I re-tubed my SVT 3 Pro with some EH tubes over the break and it sounds great... The OEM's in mine were (4) Sovtek 12AX7-WA's with a (1) Chinese 12AU7/ECC82 (yuck). I'm just curious as to how much drive/distortion everyone else's 3 Pro has. Mine growls, and breaks up but not like my SBT...

    ESP J Four - run afoul of search feature!

    I had a J-Four got rid of it... The balance on mine was really neck-heavy... It was an ash body trans blue with the pearloid pickguard and rosewood board... Cant remember if it had EMG's or not. Plain Fender-style bridge.

    ----WHY USE A HALF/FULL STACK----

    I agree with the PA statement mostly. I've found that I usually have no idea what's at a given venue esp when out on the road. What people *say they have* and what you find when you actually get there are very different things. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I also throw a bunch...
