TC RH750 part II

4-string said:
OK, so I uploaded a couple more. One with the Sadowsky, and one with the fretless jazz (don't mind the intonation;) with boosted mids both on the amp and onboard pre.

Like I've said numerous times in the past, this head definitely has its own voice, but still I find it plenty versatile.

The Sadowsky clip overloaded quite a bit, but I'm too lazy to do it again. :)

Can't get them to load on the iPhone for some reason.

Yeah, 6 seconds of Human Nature shouldn't be the problem. I am pretty sure they had a problem with my choice of genre, bass instrumentals (noodling really) are evidently not comedy. :)

The account is still under review, that's why the clips don't load.

Ah, I misunderstood. I didn't catch the significance of 'comedy' in what you were saying.
 
Gigged this weekend paired with my Peavey Cirrus.
I`ve only tested it before with a Fender Jazz and the tone was superb.

I liked what I heard with the Cirrus, but with the same settings Tubetone was more present and was a bit too much for me.

Since the Cirrus also has deeper lows, the cab (RS210) didn`t deliver the bass full potential. I love the way the head sounds and the portability/sound of the RS210. Just would like a bit more of low end.

Get another RS210, or a RS212 :)

I dig the RS cabs, but they are not the deepest voiced cabs out there. Still plenty IMO, but of course YMMV.

I`m seriously considering going that route.

I`ve read the whole thread and still can`t decide if I`ll add
a RS210, RS 212 or buy a GK MBE 212 to get a wider range.
 
At the great price point, I absolutely recommend the TC cabs. They aren't huge down low, more low mid focussed. I havent really experienced a better 2x10, especially considering the weight, size, and tone. If you compare them to say a higher end Berg AE210, the Berg will come out on top (well, depends on your taste), but whether its worth double the price (in the UK anyway) is another thing.

I have the mixed 210/212 stack, and love it. However, the 210 and 212 are way more similar than different, and if I were starting over again I would probably get a pair of 210s. Nothing wrong with the 212 at all, but it is much deeper than the 210, and actually gets a bit too bulky at some stages IMO/IME. Not much missed (if anything) but size by getting a pair of 210s over a mixed stack.

All good choices...

I've had 2 RS210s and 2 RS212 and tried all of the various mix-and-match 1, 2 and 3 cabinet configurations that allows.

2 RS210s is a great sound with the only option (beyond arrangement) being to use one or both. Adding an RS212 gives you configuration options and the option to use one or the other. I think if you can see scenarios where you'd want to be able to choose one or the other, a 212 would be the better addition (w/o commenting on the GK).

Personally, a single RS212 is currently what I'm using most. Obviously, one cab is easiest to run with. It gets the job done for band practice (with loud drummer) and bar gigs with PA support.

I use 2 RS212s on a whim sometimes, so the main thing left for my remaining RS210 is home practice (which is usually on headphones anyway, so it basically does most of its duty as a stand for my RH and laptop...a very good-looking stand). I do use it at band #2 practice where the drummer plays more softly than the other, but even then, I usually take an RS212 because I generally leave one in my trunk.

I think I largely agree...if you're talking about using them together, a combo of 2xRS210 or RS210+RS212 are both going to be very capable. I do think that the RS210 and RS212 separate in capability at a certain threshold of loudness as stand-alones. For me, a single RS212 seems more capable of producing deep, fat lows where an RS210 by itself feels like it has thinned and run out of steam.
 
Yes, I was talking about using them together.

I have gigged the 210 alone on several occasions, but never the 212. The 210 has delivered what I needed for those situations, if I need more I bring both. ;)

I did one rehearsal though where the guitarist had moved my gear, and had unplugged the 212 and never plugged it back in. I did quite a few songs before I noticed, and the 210 held up surprisingly well. FWIW.

Obviously "gig situations" are different for different people. And PA support makes a lot of these differences we're discussing less significant (possibly even irrelevant).

The only time I tried the RS210 by itself with the louder band was at practice. Pushed, it felt thin and strained relative to the RS212.

I have a gig with the softer drummer this Friday, I think I'll try the RS210 by itself and see what I think.

I'm also very curious to see what kind differences I hear with the cabinets when my RH750 gets here. Maybe it's the RH450 that's "thinning" some at the level needed to hang with the loud drummer?
 
So this is what I run at most of my metal shows. I like this set up cause it allows me to run the master lower and still have a nice thump due to more speaker more moving air theory. I've found that even with tweeter tone off when the master is pushed to a higher volume past 12 it does start to add more grit if you will and I would prefer to have it cleaner until needed for that project. I do a smaller rock set up where I stack the 2x10 on top the 2x12 and add the master in a little more so the rock tone grit is back and we're running.


212. 2x12 and run up my master a.

That looks real impressive! I would love to get a second 210 - not that I would ever need to run all three cabs at once, but it would be fun. ;) Besides, I would have cabs everywhere - in both the rehearsal rooms I frequently use plus at home.
