RIGS OF DOOM - Ch. 3

[baalroo]

Not as insane as some here, but pretty doomy by my own standards:

(camera phone pic at rehearsal space)

top to bottom is:
Acoustic 370 -> GK 210 -> Hartke 410 -> Carvin 115

to the left is one of our guitarist's Orange clone sitting atop a fullstack of Avatars. the other guitarist plays a Fender head into an Ampeg fullstack. My rig can be heard clearly at full stage volume with the volume knob set between 10 and 11 o'clock (3 1/2 or so) over both those bastards... and we play very loud.

You know the rules, no pics, no RETARDEDLY AWESOME MEGA ULTRA RIG.

Ugh, I know, I know.. hahaa

Well, we discovered that we CAN fit all the cabs and amps and drums in our van.. so we did.

I stacked everything like this...

2x15 on the left standing up straight.
The other 2x15 was on its side with the 4x12 on top, and the three amps on top of that.
To the right of that was the 1x18/4x10 stack.

The middle stood over 7 feet tall, and I actually had to climb on top of other cabs just to reach the back of my main amp. It was the first time for our band playing on any sort of stage... even though this place didn't need one... but anyways... the vibrations from my rig where making my feet and legs tingle, and several times during our set I had to stop moving around because I was loosing my balance. It was weird. ha

Here's what sucks... I saw camera flashes going off while we where playing. Don't know who took the pictures though. But if I find them, I'll post them here.

Damn dude, can I get your drummers phone number?

 

[Kenton]

This isn't how i use it live but at practice and some recordings ive used it, its a combo, speaker and head prob being stupid using that set up but im a stupid guy.

Trust me, she wouldn't be interested. Destroying the drums isn't her only guy-ish attribute if you catch my drift.

Been a while since I last posted in this thread, and I've added and subtracted a few pieces in the interim.

Dunno when I'll get a chance to use the 2-5000 watts it can make as pictured, but it'd be big fun for sure.

I built all those cabs, plus a preamp that I gig with all the time. There's a lot more going on in that rig than you can see right away too. All the details are in my profile.

 

[ScottB.]

2x5000!!!

 

[Passinwind]

2x5000!!!

Not yet.

There are a bunch of different ways I could run all this stuff, but in reality I'd probably use a configuration with around 2000 watts power-at-clipping distributed through most of those cabs.
