Big E Speakers Part 4 - Quadraphenia

My bad MrBear, I didn't realize you discovered it first. Don't want to steal ur thunder, but I'm pulling tha trigger!

No worries at all.

Just wanted to offer an in situation view for reference.

I don't have Thunder to steal...... that comes from the MWV cabs.

Looks like the MAS landing is scheduled to be here end of day tomorrow - just so happens I have a gig tomorrow night as well at a new for us club. Now the decision to learn about a new piece of kit live or wait until I get some time behind it and learn its "ways" first.

Whelp, normally I would play around with a new cab at home, get the feel of how I should set the amp to play with the cab...but being the club is new for you, as well, you'd have to revisit the amp setting even with your old rig...

what are you using for a rig now?

Currently my default club rig is a Sad PJ5 > DB751 > Xsonics 2155 (a 3 way 215 with one rear firing woofer). That setup is usually overkill for nearly all my gigs, but I have learned over the years that I cannot go without a comfortable amount of headroom from both amp and cab to ensure my tone - which both of those do in spades. I also run an empress for room problems and tone shaping.

I agree with this normally as well, but as you mentioned with a new room I will have to adjust for all that anyway.

Actually, now that I think of it I have played this room years ago in a different band. Different rig now, but I do remember it being kinda boomy and there is a wooden riser as well.
