Quadzilla's rig reminds of the most rock 'n roll piece of technical advice i ever overheard ... a guy didn't know how to set up some equipment, and his friend said, 'just plug everything into everything else and turn it all up all the way.'
This is my bedroom rig.

The 810 runs clean, GIII and 115 run effects. The SWR 210 is in my office at work (it's nice to be the boss)

That black speaker cover looks like the hood the executioner slips over your head as a final courtesy ...

That baby is all original, I got that head as a basket case and had it restored!! I guess it blew on the original owner and it sat in his spare bedroom since 81. Killer head!

An older 57, Both cabs do the tube thing excellent but the Bergie handles much more wattage and is punchier, It sounds better the louder you get. The PV sounds great at rehearsal Level, It has a tweeter so it can sound a little more modern. The louder you play PV the more the cab breaks up, the opposite happens with the SVT/Bergie, The SVT breaks up before the Bergie I believe they are shefield speakers in the PV cab, I couldn't imagine the potential if that badboy was loaded with Scorpions!

Hey, I bet I know who would win in a "class-off" between you and Tom.
this is just getting silly.
what is wrong with this guy.
he is either full of s*** or just an a****** that thinks he is better than everyone. Either way it is not the best way to make friends really is it?

Seriously! I have one cabinet that took me ten years to track down and acquire. It has a bad habit of rattling the head off the top because it does such a good job of going really low. And it weighs about 200lbs so I gig it rarely. I'll post pics of my actual wall of doom when I get home, some of these guys have got to be kidding with their mere 2x10 on a 15 with single head! But props to the fellas with the tube heads and old cabinets. tweeters are for pa speakers!heath_the_great said:
My rig as of late
Boogie Bass 400
GK 4112 (4x12 and 2x10 folded horn)
Boogie 15"
Eden 15"
SWR 2x12
Mackie 1x15" powered sub
power amp is in the shop, but will proably be replaced by a Traynor custom special or Trace V8 or maybe even a triple rec. Lately I only run about half of that. Usually just the 2x12, one of the 15"s and the Mackie sub. It's not so much for loudness as for effortless bass extension onteh hiphop tunes, and a good solid fundemental even when I am distorted. Oh and to get under the Marshalls and Egnaters!
