I use two 210-3SLT cabs. They are wonderful. And with both slants, the angle seems to help with me hearing myself. And the arrays also improve what others are able to hear in the nearfield range. Never tried a 15-3 but bet it also sounds wonderful.
In the existing MG-800, you sort of already have this? If you think of Contour A as cutting mids (so that's midrange control #1), you can then use the mid knob on the EQ to boost at a higher mid frequency to add back some clarity or at a lower mid frequency to add back some low mid oomph. Granted, that mid cut profile from Contour A is fixed, but you can use the contour knob to adjust how much of that mid cut effect you want.
That's obviously not exactly what you want, but I figured I'd throw that out there in case it triggers an "ahah moment" on your end. I've grown very fond of the Contours, they are a great way to quickly "get in the neighborhood" of your ideal tone. Then you can use the 3-band EQ to fine tune your tone that last little bit.

Ree-Q is how to pronounce. What was our intent?
Ha!!Actually, this was developed as a tool for correcting EQ issues either by offering a seperate EQ pedal for a specific instrument or adding this in a signal chain for general EQ purposes.
Bascially "re-EQing" where required. Either by adding something to a flat signal or correcting anomalies.
@Jeff Genzler I would also be interested in the “grab and go” cover for the 350/10-2 combo. Thanks!

Todd, please send me an email and we can confirm when these covers would be available.
ALSO --- I'm headed out on a Vacation until mid next week, so we can follow up them.
Thank you for your interest.

As I told Jeff in an email of a few minutes ago, I took the 10-2 combo to a first rehearsal tonight for a new theatre production I'm starting. Did it ever sound good. I knew it did, but it was something about the acoustics in this auditorium, plus to the extent that new speakers need to break in, I'm sure it is broken in now after playing the production I did in March. Man-o-man. Tiny amp and big voice. I found about three different combinations of contours, a bit more or less bass and treble. Didn't do anything to midrange other than the Contour shaping. I alternated those and all sounded so good it was hard to choose my favorite. This is with the big-bodied, short scale Ibanez AFB200 with Chromes, again.
I am blessed to have a terrific pianist and drummer for this production, neither of whom I've worked with before, but both UT School of Music graduates and very very good. I always say: "Give me a great pianist and a great drummer, and I can just coast!" This is gonna be a good one.

At the airport heading out to Cali for a week! Unfortunately, no Genzler backline. But, will make it work! Vista on Friday, Hollywood on Saturday. Let’s Go!!
So I have an opportunity to pick up a NC-115T and I'm thrilled yet apprehensive about the overkill adding it to my NC-212T will be. Has anyone run this particular combination and how did it sound overall?
Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?

I have it. But, have my Quad Cortex with me that has captures of all 4 Genzler pedals and the MG800!!
Someone earlier in this thread bought a NC-115T/NC-212T stack for his son and was very impressed with the sound and fullness.
Nope. I posed this to Jeff prior to doing it and he agreed it would be a phenomenal combo with the MG800…it is.
Yep, that was me. This stack continues to impress us. The 212 fills out everything up top and the 115 just rumbles. Obviously, depending on the venue, there is a little tweaking on the amp as the 115 can get a little boomy. We encountered that at his last gig and just pulled the bass back a hair. It worked fine, but an Auralex isolation riser would have solved the wooden stage issue that caused the boom.
Does anyone here play with four cabs? I have a 15-3 and a 12-3 and have wondered if going with another 15 and 12 would be too excessive.

Instead, I would suggest a 2nd 15-3 or a 2nd 12-3 so to keep in a single stack. Maybe a straight 12-3 if yours is a slant, although I personally do like the sound of two 15’s.
