Meatbox reissue, huh?

What I meant to ask but didn't do a good job of was this; If the Meatbox is not on will the sound of your normal bass signal be muddy because the type of speaker is a subwoofer as compared to a regular bass cabinet?

I guess it would depend upon the sub. Anecdotally, I've been using the Meatbox with a separate 2x15 cab, and I now love the sound of the additional cab with or without the Meatbox. I wouldn't call it "muddy" but I'd definitely call it bigger sounding! ;)

Whoa...look at my post and Greg's quote...I tried to post an Amazon link, but it got changed! I think they're still in stock at Amazon, @gregmon79.

Same on other Forum sites. It's the automatic BBCode link parser I think. It converts it into something that is not static at Amazon.

That's...weird.

Well anyway, @gregmon79, find it on Amazon, it's in stock there. It's out of stock at the "Rakuten" site my link keeps getting changed to.

Will you add an 18" later? Do you have a different preference in speaker size? I went to the local Crutchfield but they don't carry any in store to demo out. All the Guitar Center's that carry JBL woofers are 2 hours from me. Been waiting on the right day to take me to D.C. or Richmond for a show to go try some out before I make a future purchasing decision.

I originally was going to go with a powered 18, but I just blew my savings on an Orange head. So I'll be sticking with the dual 15's for the foreseeable future.

So, I currently have a Peavey Tour 450 that I never turn up more than halfway because that's just silly.

I'm thinking of stepping down to something smaller but idk how the Meatbox will sound.

What are you guys running, and what would you suggest that would play nicely with the Meatbox?

Currently considering an Ampeg Micro VR since it has a lot of what I would love to have as a practice/recording amp.

I don't need super loud but I'm afraid I'll lose headroom if I go to something with less power.

Eventually I plan on moving to having a dedicated powered sub of course but that is a long ways away.

I've got a GK MB212, I'll try it out CAREFULLY in a few hours and report back.



BTW I tested it with the Chillswitch, I had to dial the Meatbox output to about halfway otherwise I could still hear trace Meatboxiness while muted...! Too powerful for the circuit I guess.

That's the 212 500w combo right? I was looking to get that before I went with my Avatar cab and Peavey amp!
