i know, i it hadnt even occured to me until just now :eek:

You have a lot going on, mentally ;) what with your studies and not to mention or put any stress on ya :rolleyes: your up coming audition. :ninja: :p
 
I finally have pics of my Epifani Ul310 stack! I won't be receiving my Crest CA9 til next week, so the Stewart 2.1 will do the job just fine for this weekend's gigs. The sound is killer! It's very sensitive to EQing..I can dial in almost any tone..from a old school tubey sound, to a very refined, punchy and hi-fi slap tone! This setup will be really useful for my top 40 cover band, which we go from funk, to rock, to motown, country, and back again! I tried three preamps...a SVP-PRO, Yamaha PB-1, and an Alembic F-1x. IMO..The Alembic matches up perfectly!

why the switch from the 2.1 to a ca9?

yikes!
 
why the switch from the 2.1 to a ca9?

I ran a friends CA9 through one of these cabs 2 weeks ago, and it sounded HUGE!!! There's ALOT of debate about the newer switching power amps(stewart 2.1) and the "lead sled" amps(ca9). I A/B'd the 2 amps(in my living room), and let my ears be the judge, and they picked the CA9 slightly over the 2.1. I still love my stewart 2.1, but the ca9, IMHO, has a quality that only few other amps can match. Notice, I said IMHO!!! ;) Besides, the CA9 can push out more watts per channel!!! When I get my own CA9(should be here next week), I'm gonna A/B the 2 amps at a gig with no PA support, and with a very loud guitar setup and drums.
 
My version of a 2 x UL310 stack ;)

Nice. Did you do this via a 4ohm410 and an 8 ohm 210? I always thought that would be a cool rig.... the impedance would result in basically each 10 getting the same amount of power, so you would have something close to a modular 610UL. Cool, as long as your amp can safely pump it out at 2.67 ohms. This would be the ultimate stack for my Glock HR, which puts out 1000 watts at 2.67 ohms!

The other advantage is that using each cab separately with the same SS head would result in the power output of the amp being optimized (more for the larger cab and less for the smaller cab).

Nice, regardless of the impedance:bassist: I've never run out of headroom with my 4ohm 410UL, but if I ever started played really loud, this would be a cool option!
 
Nah, both cabs are 4 ohm. I know that the 8 and 4 ohm cabs would be the better option for using them together, but honestly, I'll be using them individually 90+% of the time and having 4 ohm cabs make more sense for me there when I use my Thunderfunk. Two of my other heads will do 2 ohm loads, my Yamaha BBT500H and my Aguilar DB750. I could pair up the Yam with one of my amps (or even my Thunderfunk for that matter). I have a Stewart 1.2 and also a 2.1 so I guess having the 4 ohm cabs won't matter much if I take that approach...

The 210UL/TF is a really nice combination, and +1 to the 4ohm version for that matchup. The TF's mid voicing really works well with the 210UL's somewhat wide voicing (to my ear). Nice one-two punch there!!!
