Live Cabs

Just wondering why you favour the 8x10's live I figured you'd rock something like a 2x15 given your main studio setup (B-15)

Also why do you have them on their sides instead of stood vertically

Thanks

Why two 8 x 10's? 'Cuz they are LOUD AS HELL and cut through anything! I can still hear and feel them when I'm standing 25 feet downstage of them at a big festival. I love 15's too, though. I have two Mesa 1x15 Diesel cabs with EV 400 watt speakers, and I stack those and use 'em for local Beck gigs and rehearsal.

Why on sides? Just 'cuz it's easier to roll 'em on and off stage, since the bottom one is in the tray still.
