Tube stack for arena rock band!

[nojj]

I had to go with a switchable rig, because some of my shows are overseas.

Now, let us talk at length about bi-polar amplification..........

 

[majortoby]

117v ac like the brownface fenders, plus i want to be able to plug it into whatever the stage has and its usually a regular american 3 prong

This really says more than I ever could.

Now, let us talk at length about bi-polar amplification..........

I think that's exactly what's going on here with 20-something pp of us responding to this nonsense

Fun, tho.......

 

[BawanaRik]

there's no way im putting up peavey on stage, its 2013! lol

Wow. 've played through more Peavey gear than any other single manufacture with the exception of Fender.

I would not think twice about plugging into a Peavey.

i cant believe you guys think my rig is nonsense! there has to be space for art in this world. ppl pay to see this junk it better be the coolest thing theyv seen...ever

I still think you're reinventing the wheel.

It's not just the rig that we think is nonsense

We think this for one very simple reason: it is.

This is great entertainment, though (and those Blue Moons last night were DELICIOUS).

Still can't wait to see your band, considering I've already bought all your records...

Doesn't matter what we think. I admire your dedication to the visual impact/entertainment aspect, this is important.
I say just get something 'normal' that works and surround it with a bunch of junk, working or not.

aw c'mon, don't you want to see his bass neck explode in his hands when he frets a note? At least we'll be stateside and not have to go all the way to Kazakhstan to see Sonic7 do it. Bet that happened because he used those new unobtanium strings, those early prototypes weren't really compatible with ash bodies.......

there is some of the orig 69-77 stuff i want to incorporate, but this has to be the biggest boom ever from my maple ric; splintering in my hands and the strings feel like theyre exploding off the guitar! i want it to swell up then slightly delayed kaboom. whats the best power to by for that?

already gave you the secret formula, my friend: Marshall stack above 200 Hz, Crown bipolar amps for sub-200Hz. Use old JBL 4520s loaded with 2226s, a biamp active xover, Alembic F2B for the Crowns, done.

Probably nuclear. But that breaks all kinds of international law...

No, we just think it's a bit....overkill, and the FOH and stage monitor guy will probably take you out & shoot you in the parking lot.

Seen I think should take a back seat to heard.

For that type of "kaboom", you need an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator

You beat me to it. Well played.

 

[CL400Peavey]

^ thats why i mentioned the mesa m6 carbine i think those are 500 ea, a stack fo those might power the blast of wind and space shuttle effect im looking for. anyone used the m6 for a wall before?

Why would you dick around with a 500 watt amp? Just put your big girl panties on and use something like a crest Prolite 3.0...

 

[FaithNoMan]

so out of the amps i mentioned, "peavey" is the ultimate rig? i just dont believe that. skynard isnt known for their bass sound anyway. Rock band like, Disciple, U2, Coldplay, Radiohead

I guess you've never heard of Billy Gould.

I like U2, Coldplay, and Radiohead, but put all three of their tones together and they have nothing near the raw aggression of Billy's rock tone.

I play a "maple Ric"

And have no idea what you are talking about. Put some M-80 fireworks in your amp, and mic it with a delay pedal in line?

(Btw -mine sounds pretty bad-arse with a Mesa Bass 400. Tool's Undertow tone all day.)

 

[Rooster009]

So anybody like Machinehead? I heard they have a new bassist. Supposed to be really good. Tubes is where it's at for the blooming explosion.
