Acme Low B2 users

Big Benner said:
When Acme users say "you have to re-think your EQ", what does this mean?

Using the same amp with the old speaker cab, how was the EQ set and how does it differ using the Acme.

My SWR SM900 usually has all the controls set at 12 noon when I'm going through my Yorkville 2x10 & 1x15,... what would be expected for me to tweak if I ran it through 2 - B2s?

Thanks,

Benner

Keep your amp settings essentially flat. The Acme cab requires no extensive EQing to really shine. Andy Lewis suggests you tweak the treble and mid attenuators to compensate for variances in room / venue acoustics. I kid you not, it really works. Remember the cabs are rear ported so keep them at least 18" from any rear walls to minimize any "boominess". I guess that's a word!

with all due respect, i'm the complete opposite. as you'll read...

my thoughts,

2 cents,

and assorted change found in the seat cushions...

but, yea, only recently have i found that the attenuators do an amazing job of tweaking. love how i'm being continually being impressed by the lil' box.
