BA15-3 at each jam space. Can't wait to stack them.

Are there any plans to make a straight 15-3, @Jeff Genzler? One of the things I like about the 15-3 SLT + 210-3 is that the array of the 210 stays on axis with the slant array in the 15-3. I would love to replicate that but with dual 15’s for a glorious, full, round, and clear stack.

Just curious.
 
Great thinking! I own 2 12-3's and have put them on top of my 15-3. Incredible but way over kill for my current gigs. A single 12-3 pairs incredibly well with the 15 but doesn't serve my needs of buying more Genzler stuff..... lol.
Yes. (2) BA12-3 over a BA15-3 is way over kill.....BUT WAS FUN!

Since I liked the (2) BA10-2 over the BA210-3 so much I figured I'd experiment with this combination at the same outside venue. It sounded massive, BUT IT WAS OVERKILL. I could easily drown out the gorilla drummer. I want to blend in, not overpower. Of course I turned down but why bring more than you need? More load in. More space, cargo and transport. It's about efficiency. A band is like a cake. Too much or little of any of the ingredients...you ruin the cake for the audience to enjoy.

Top ins and outs should be the industry standard for anything meant to go on a pedalboard. So clean.
Love it, and Broughton gear is top notch as well. I’m noticing that some here are using low/high pass pedals - I keep one in my bag as well. I thought the Magellans had low pass built into the circuit? Are you using the pedals for other types of tone shaping, as the Re/Q can do with its filters?

Do you mean pass filters in the contour and eq? Not sure... I should A/B with and without the pedal filters. I was used to running a pre into a powered cab so still getting adjusted to the Magellan.

Here’s a good summary from the man himself. It’s only about 500+ pages back in the thread so very easy to overlook. ;)

I use a Broughton pre on my board for those ampless gigs or if I need to make a quick adjustment mid-gig.

hmmm so you had both 2 10-2's and a 210-3?
can you compare the 210-3 to the two 10-2s?

@Jamvan --- Thanks for the question about a straight version of the BA15-3SLT cab. We don't have plans for that currently, mostly because so much of what makes the current 15 so tight, deep and clean is the internal geometry of the cab, with fewer perpendicular panels inside. Not that we won't ever consider that. Maybe we should revisit this sometime soon.

I appreciate the response and the challenge of keeping the punchiness of the slt with a different cab design. These are the things I don’t think about but make a ton of sense when considered. Thank you!
 
Is the original version of the MG-112T the same as the current one with the exception of the “landscape/portrait” orientation? Same weight and tone?

The original MG-112T is about 30 pounds, the new vertical version is 24 pounds. The vertical version has been mentioned as having almost the same amount of low end as the original (with an additional port behind the grill cloth mostly offsetting the smaller internal volume), otherwise the tone is the same.

I've said this before in this thread (I think??) after oogling at your multi cab Genzler rigs.....

PLEASE USE EAR PROTECTION! My little 10-2 stack gets stupid loud. You guys running bigger stacks are able to produce some serious SPL's.

Anyway....Just a little PSA from the ol' DG. Carry on.
I keep a set of these on my key chain & another set in my bass case. I even use them when I mow the lawn. Great product IMO.

Well... Just did a comparison using the MG350. Of course, I figured the (2) BA10-2 would be louder because of the the lower impedance but what surprised me was the low B was stronger/louder with it than with the BA210-3. And I had both setups on stands.

Of course a single BA10-2 wasn't as strong and didn't have as much low end. It's like what was said before, 2 cabs sound bigger than just double.

I HEAR you brotha! I was just experimenting. I use my earplugs for the gorilla drummer I call "Bam Bam". He just loves his cymbals. Can you say tinnitus?

Seriously, I always use earplugs.
