Rigs of Doom; Part 4
- Thread starter Chef
- Start date
I just brought the Acoustic 106 (2X15) cabs up into the room and put the new GK 700 RB II heads on top of them. The bridge p/u's will run through the one on the left and the neck p/u's will run through the one on the right.
The GK 800 RB and Peavey 1810 are for my Moog Taurus pedals.
I want to open up the cabs and make sure everything is OK before I fire them up.
At some point I'd like to possibly re-cover the Acoustic cabs.
I fully support this setup
this is what i'm rocking these days
Nice! can you comment on the 4x12 with the Verellen? Is the 18 really necessary? I would expect it to be rather low sensitivity compared to a 4x12. I'm thinking of acquiring a similar setup but with 2 4x12 cabs. Oh and I'm also gonna have them make it a "Tofu Smoke" or "Seitan Smoke". I'm one of them vegetarians. This of course has to come after i get my next bass, my next car and my next apartment though.

Dude...how's it? We need some way to hear this thing
the 4x12 sounds great with the verellen! The emperors take dirt and grind very well and the verellen puts it out in spades while still sounding immense. the 4x12 works great as a standalone with the head and i actually had used it on it's own the night before the picture was taken. in general i do like the 4x12 paired with the 1x18 rather than on it's own but it still sounds great. I feel the 1x18 adds fills out the sound a little bit more but some may say that it's all in my head.
Awesome man, just awesome. the meat smoke was a great investment. it does anything from clean to ranchy while still having some oomph. i thend to set the preamp gain till i get a little bit of grind then take the master up from there and it sounds great.
the distortion channel just slays.
i'll try and get some sound clips up as soon as i can record something
Here is my medium rig of doom?
Might go better in one of these:

I love how much bigger you rig is than the line 6.
I bet they're the same volume though.
I have zero experience with Line 6 bass amps, but their guitar amps have zero ability to cut through when competing with tube heads in my experience.I love how much bigger you rig is than the line 6.

I used to be in a band with a son of a famous wealthy writer (several books were made into movies). This guy bought several Line 6 amps in a row before he caved and got a Marshall.
Then a Bogner, then an Egnater.
I thought the Marshall was the real deal, but that Egnater wiped the floor with the poor Marshall (Triple Super Lead).
But yeah, Line 6 guitar amps seem to sound great at medium low levels, but don't cut through loud bands at all.

Thanks for the review. My comment was more about the difference in size and power for similar volumes. I'm not a fan of line 6 personally.
That "Insane" setting is the brooootttalllsssszzz1!!111!!!!

Here is truly a rig of doom: shown at the Dawn of Time, a protodrummer taking exception to the introduction of the SVT 810, beating down the bassplayer for playing way loud and straying from eighth note roots.
