AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

Well now, have a gig on Friday.
Nearly a year after acquiring my TC115 I get to push it a bit in a full band setting, at a louder level than rehearsal!
I'm confident the WD and the TC will deliver .

Man..when you bring a TC115 to a real gig...oh boy its bliss. Every note attack, sustain and articulation roams free with plenty of headroom, like a caged dog released into an infinite, green and fluffy pasture. The B string specially...Enjoy.
I don't know what WD and TC are but make sure to bring a 500 watt head or more.
 
There was this one time...

Mesa WD800, TC115 2nd Gen. 8 ohm.

On the subject of pairing the Hathor 1203 with another cab, I'm trying to decide now if I'm just going to hold out until Duke is ready to start taking new orders again or if I want to try to find a used single compact 15 cab in the meantime that might pair up well with my Hathor 1203 for bigger gigs.

talk with NUTDOG in the posts above. He plays large gigs with 2 1203's and we have try many combinations around the 1203 having fun.
 
Y’all do know that there’s a 1203 that’s been sitting in the CL’s for a week and a half, right?
The perfect cab to pair with a 1203 is another 1203. (Or a C112T, or a H1203T). ;)
So tempting even though I’m covered.

And it has a $100 cover with it.

Maybe he should raise the price by $150 so it will sell within an hour like all the others.

Whoa, totally missed that somehow. I'll have to see if I can get the cash together...everyone else avert their eyes, please!

Cool, man you should be set! Curious, why did you choose 8 ohms? are you planning on using it with another cab?
Always plan for a second cab!
This cab is switchable 8/4 ohm .
The WD800 goes down to 2 ohms, I run 8ohm load with the head set to 2 ohms.
This cuts the output power to @ 350.
I can push the head output section a bit harder this way, at a lower volume. The power amp damping set on low, and being pushed into tube emulation , softens the attack, brings in a bit of touch sensitive edge,/grit/dirt. Adds a tubelike note bloom.

Yup! TC 115 and a Hathor 1533 here. Both great!

Had a first generation TC-112 for a long time, it was great on outdoor concerts, with M700 Monique, and the Three Leaf Audio Enabler. It was amazing just how much sound that little cabinet put out

and what a great tone profile it had with either DB or EB. That's a real testament to how great Dukes builds are.
 
Yeah but wasn't that pic above from your garage that day I came over. . . . . . . . That is what I meant.
Yes, it was and it was fun. I will say I discovered the limits of 2 1203's. When a loud drummer and a loud guitarist are mad at each other they won't keep up. The last gig was in a small, trendy, downtown bicycle bar following a solo girl on acoustic. Drummer brought every tom and cymbal he had, guitarist had 100watt twin reverb cranked, my clip light was on continuous...

I tried to imagine myself dragging two 8x10s down the sidewalk into this tiny, empty room just to keep up for a 45 minute set. Like I said, last gig. Now I'm not sure if I even need two hathors.

I cant even imagine. I have a Hathor 2x12 and it blows up small woodland creatures a county over.
