Who has the most Hellishly Obnoxious rig?

[Deleted member 165050]

Tectonic is not a sound.

You knew he means he wants enough sound pressure to move tectonic plates. Of course this would be insanely dangerous as it would result in huge volcanic erruptions and massive tsunamis sweeping around the globe, and the SPL required would destroy buildings and instantly render the entire human race permanently deaf, but hell this is rawk we're talking about...

No, I haven't. But other than that, the video that was posted is pretty literally noise.

So you have said, so what would be your point in posting in a thread about hellish wall of doom rigs if you haven't even had any interest in something as rudimentary as Black Sabbath except to pee in everyone's Cheerios here? This is obviously not your sandbox, why ruin it for the cool kids?

What happens if it rains?!?!?

What happens if it rains?!?!?

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare

It took a couple of shots to get this in but, I finally got all of this monster in one picture.

Notice how it dwarfs the marshal stack to its left.


I jest.

I though it was worth noting all the effort to build such a rig and then play whatever that is through it. Enjoy your Cheerios, peed or otherwise.

In all these years on TB I don't recall using the "thread over" phrase, but now I will. Thread over! I present the rig to end all rigs. The mighty Fender Frontman 15B.

If you read what he wrote it's not just volume but sonic garbage at teeth rattling volume he wants. A wall of noise. My point was the Grateful Dead wall was the antithesis of that. So it's not me missing any point!

Did I say it was? I think you may be taking this thread a little too seriously

I don't have a picture (it was 40 years ago). I built a rig with 4x JBL 4530 bottoms, 2x JBL 4560 mids, and 4 JBL bullet tweeters. It was powered by an Alembic pre-amp, a Yamaha crossover, and 4x Yamaha power amps.
It was hard to hear on stage, but quite remarkable at 60-100 feet.
I still have a pair of THESE deep in the recesses of my warehouse. They were given to me for parts. My guess is they weigh 120lbs. each. Maybe I'll stack em up with my SVT!!

My gosh. Are those the infamous Peavey pa cabs? I heard them once at college and they were thunderous! If I won the lottery I’d buy 4 of them!

In the early '70's I was sick of being pushed around by the guitar player with his Marshall stack. I came into some money and drove to NYC to Manny's music. He had a bass rig on consignment. It was used by John Lennon and Elephant's Memory at their Madison Square Gardren concert.

I don't have any photos of it, but you can see glimpses of it in the YouTube video of the concert. I bought it.

Original first edition SVT with TWO V4b folded horn cabs. Total of 4 fifteen inch Altec speakers. I made the guitarist cry. Destroyed several pieces of china at the house we rehearsed.

After my initial vengance was satisfied, I retired one of the cabs and that became my touring rig for 8 more years.

Back in the early 80’s I gigged with and SVT with two 810 cabs.... just a massive sound (and weight).
I could not imagine needing anything more than that for Clubs

Although I am very happy with my Class D equipment I now use, An SVT with an 810 is still the Rig to rule them All!

 

[Hawaii Islander]

Not that big or obnoxious, but I could run these two bass rigs together Black Star 215 @ 500 watts and the V-4B with a 410 HLF.

Here's one @beebassdude posted in a rig of doom thread.



Has it grown since?

No, I haven't. But other than that, the video that was posted is pretty literally noise.

Congratulations on discovering that music is literally made out of noises.

Holy sh*t, that was terrible!

Usually they are arranged in some fashion. What was played in that video was not. All but objectively so, and I only say that much out of sensitivity. How long are we going to do this?
