The Mile-High Watts Club

I've been working on some new DIY stuff this week. Cameron might like this...

The 15s split 1000 watts and a custom DSP setting in my plate amp. The mid-horn gets 180 watts of nice pristine Hafler power. There are no fans in anything, and the noise floor is excellent. I'm using a modded Ashly BP-41 to biamp, and I have two different homemade line drivers available, one solid state and one tube. I haven't decided how to run the tweeter yet, but I have the other side of the Hafler for that if I decide on triamping.

The top cab is obviously a work in progress (no top, back, or sides yet), but it also sounded very nice with my little Fender tube amp running it yesterday. :bassist:

but I like it. Personally, I think it needs some tubes in the front end...

And Haflers are brilliant!

Time to roll my own and revisit that, I guess. I have a couple kicking around in pieces in the shop somewhere, I think. The DIY tube line driver I mentioned looks more or less like this, but with some added refinements. It uses two 6SN7s.

The Summit stuff is ace though, no doubt. That level of quality will be my DIY target.

That stuff looks great, Charlie! I'd love to hear it sometime. :cool:

Although I normally like to pair up two similar cabs (i.e., two 4x10's, two 1x15's, two 2x10's, etc.), I have to say that I really like the Uber410 with the Uber212. :bassist: :bassist: :bassist: :cool:

I've thought about that, and they have one a my local music store... I'll have to try it out again, but I'm still leaning towards a Uber 410 and then a Uber 412 later... But... Now that the Uber 115 are comming. Well, I might have to sell my trunk and walk to work. haha
 
So, am I a jerk because I asked for a number nearly three weeks ago and my request goes totally ignored? Are we waiting for some arbitrary number of people to ask before someone does something about it? I feel like raising hell, but at this rate nobody's listening. Maybe I should forget this childish BS and hit the bricks.
