played a gig tonite with an interesting setup

so since both my IOD and my goliath jr are toast right now, and i had a gig tonite, here was my rig:

bass->bellari LA120->DCM1000 (bridged mono)->SWR triad



surprisingly loud (without any distortion or farting of the speaker) and sounded pretty good too, especially with my sterling.



but i really want my IOD back

yeah the triad sounds INCREDIBLE when i've got a 2x10 on top...but not so incredible by itself, i had to turn up the tweeter a decent amount to get something similar to the attack i normally get. i had a bass player friend there though and he said he could hear everything really well. and i was standing RIGHT infront of it, pants flapping the whole nite. (although, this was on a raised wooden stage, so that might have magnified it a little)


and yes, i put 1kW into it, cos i know the triad is pretty inefficient and that the 350w on an individual channel might not have been enough. i'm sure i didn't come anywhere close to "full power."


but this was the first time i've ever used just the triad for anything - and i think that's going to change. if i'm taking only one cab i've been taking my 2x10 most everywhere, and dropping low B's on it alot hurts it more than it helps. this thing should be plenty loud for rehearsals and bigger gigs (big enough that my 2x10 is too small, but that my full rig would be way too big)



now! is there any way to get the casters from the goliath 3 put on it?
