Gigging your Ampeg PF 50T?

Adding speaker will definitely give you more apparent volume.

The mixing speaker size debate has been going for years. The general consensus seems to be that it can work but it's something you need to try with any particular combo to really know. I've done it with a lot of different boxes (mostly 10's and 15's) and very much prefer to use identical cabinets I know are going to play nicely together.
 
I play my PF50-T with a PF115 HE cab and wonder if adding a second cab might allow it to be louder. Not sure if the second cab should be another PF115 HE or a PF210 for more versatile sound.

1 more PF115 would be ideal. It WILL be louder, and it WILL sound better than pairing it with the 210.

It would be funny if I got one, and made a second 2000S cab (mine is 8 ohms right now) and ran both of them.

More realistically I'd want a B-15-esque 1x15 for it though.

That would be awesome. The PF50 amp through my old BT215 sounds wicked, i can only imagine another one would be suhweet. Fortunately i can only fit one cab in my mini cooper, so until i get a real wagon, or a bus and roadies, a single 215 is all ill ever hear it through!

It would, but I don't think there's anything to be gained by using the PF210 that wouldn't be better achieved by using a second PF115.
 
I have a pf-50t on the way and can't wait to get to rocking with my pf115! Has anybody (JimmyM?) used the amp with the 212av? Would it be louder than the 115? I played a v4b through the 212 at a store and it sounded incredible.
