To be totally honest, I didn't need the 112. Even at our largest outdoor stages, the 212 always cut it just fine. But, I've got it now, so of course I'm gonna use it! It does, however, give me a much bigger, fuller sound, even if I'm not using it to go much louder (and it will do louder, too).I was going to do that actually. .But my gig turned into IEMs and i use the MG212 to fill out the stage.. So it's not just drums on stage... Guitars are using Kempers ...
When im on my gigs at home , it easily does club gigs ... I find that i play louder on bar gigs than i do on regular stage gigs. Im wanting to keep it all in perspective.. Since back in the day (70s and 80) i normally used three 810 cabs.. Not for loud but just to be wide. . Im trying to not go there. .HAHA Since i never play metal...
At a couple indoor shows on smaller stages, I've just used the 212 as a dummy cab, and only hooked up the 112. I'm still very impressed with just how much sound that little 112 box is capable of.
