Vertical cab stacking---the only way to play
- Thread starter JimmyM
- Start date
jlepre, as the previous owner of a very similar Nemmy combo, I can tell you that it in fact does make a big difference.
Jimmy, thanks for the tip. I have a gig tomorrow night and I will try my amp on it's side and see if I HEAR a difference. I will report my findings as soon as I'm vertical the next day.
BTW, if you REALLY want to hear what your amp sounds like to the crowd, tilt it back as well as the vertical thing. That puts the actual sound of the cab as the audience hears it in your ear and gives you a nice rumble from the floor.
I actually have an AKG wireless Bug, so I usually go out in the crowd from time to time to listen and mingle

I can think of maybe a dozen regular posters here who might. But I was hoping someone would get the double entendre.Now you need to start a poll to see how many bassplayers know who Feynman was.
I'm a nerd.

It would be sweet if you could play a bit of the gig with it one way and a bit of the gig with it the other way.
I look forward to hearing about it.
Ditto. "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" is one of my favorite reads of all time.
BTW A9X, I had to re-read it to get the joke. Clever
Asad

Well it's official, it did make a difference, and I had a few musician friends at the gig last night comment on the fact they could hear a definite difference. Not to mention that this little amp kicks some serious A@#!!!
Makes you wonder why vertical 2x10 combo aren't the rule instead of the exception? Saw this one reviewed on Fitz's forum, if I wanted a one piece this would be it.Well it's official, it did make a difference, and I had a few musician friends at the gig last night comment on the fact they could hear a definite difference.

Another convert to the fold! Yay! Enjoy the benefits of pristine sound and acoustic bliss, my friend!
Is it better to have a stack of multiple speakers with one at head level firing parallel to the floor or one (or more) cabs/speakers firing parallel to the floor and one firing perpendicular to the floor. Phil Jones uses this concept in his Flightcase combo and I think someone else on this thread used a similar concept (Markbass on a milk crate and extension speaker)? Or is this six of one and half a dozen of the other?

Looks OK, but the box volume seems very small, unless those are midrange drivers.How's this for vertical arraying... The panels and bracing are ready for the second one if this turns out to be a good design.
