Broughton Audio Super Thread

Brought the SSDI out to the studio last night and played it through an amp for the first time. Into the return of a Streamliner and a fearful 15/6. In short, It. Was. Glorious.

SSDI continues to impress.

I just finished a 12/6 yesterday. Going to try running the P-15 into it via the effects loop of my berg forte. Probably gonna bust out the SVD too and see if I can rattle some stuff off the neighbor's wall.

P15, Berg Forte, fEarful 12/6, SVD... you're not hurting for good noisemakers.
I can only imagine the Synth Voice + fEarful combo will sound righteous. I'd try it myself but my 15/6 is buried in the garage.
 
You know what I've been kinda jonesing for cab wise is a Dually. Big 'ol 2x15 with Faitals... I like the 15/6 a lot but I don't like micing it.

Sorry, back to Broughton
I've never tried micing mine. Never had to since its so stinkin loud.
I'd think that you'd want to either close-mic the woofer and mid driver separately, or place one mic a few feet out to capture the blended sound of the cab.

That's exactly what you need to do - either way. And it's fine, just more of a hassle than I usually want to go to versus just throwing a mic on a full range 15 and calling it a day :) Really I'm just lazy like that. But I do love the cab...

I think the RFE needs an overall volume knob! I'm using mine as a stomp effect to change EQ midsong and I'm getting a huge volume boost when I turn it on the way I have it set. Sounds great but I got it to use for this purpose and it's not going to work I think

Another reason I didn't keep mine. RFE would have worked better for me with a Gain knob like the L+HPF, and no mid control at all.

Agreed. It has to be always-on or nothing for me, because I get a large bass and volume boost when I use it. That being said, I have no intention of ever turning it off once dialed in, so it's kind of a moot point. But I can see where it would be helpful to have a gain.
