Yep...I have finally learned I've gotta push my amp & speakers to a certain point before I can get "that" sound...Usually around 4-5 on the DSL100, & depending on which mode I'm using, anywhere from about 5 to 8 on the Chupa...This is not directed at JDOD, it's just in general....
I'm a little flabbergasted that people with real amps won't crank them bitches up. I know it's not always feasible or practical to blast an amp. I do get that. But if you can, why not? And I don't mean dime everything. I don't mean using full stacks. I mean, take whatever you got, and turn that bitch up.
erggg ..... last night they had some scarey looking hispanic dudes from Miami took a liking to me and kept buying me shots of Patron. A LOT of shots of Patron ..... and now me and my Patron-head have to get up and go gig ....... whee!
that why I never turned my back towards themCareful, man. They might have been buying you shots because they took a liking to your very expensive-looking ass.
No biggie on the listen dude, just another slapped together clip, but your answers were what I was counting on....again....Can't listen right now, but I'll answer your questions with my own experiences.
I thought you had a V30/75 cab, but wasn't sure. You've got greenbacks & 65's too, but dunno how you have those in your cab(s)...No biggie, I have a real deal for a couple V30's, but they're 16ohm...I have 2 here now, but they're both 8ohm...But, the T75's I have are 16, so you can see where I was going with it...If you're not crazy about it, I probably wouldn't be either really, but one never knows unless he tries....Not sure I'm gonna spring for those speakers, but it's almost so good a deal I can't pass it up...crazy cheap man, I'll have to think about it....1) Yes, I do have a V30/75 x-pattern, and I'm not crazy about it. The V30s TOTALLY overpower the 75s, but for recording it's no big deal. I never use this particular cab live so it's no big deal to me. But the V30s do bully the 75s.
That's about what I figured, the bigger the cab, the bigger the sound, obviously...I've been thinking really hard on getting a 2061x style 2x12 from Sourmash, it'd probably be a good match for my Chupa both sound-wise, & cosmetically...I can't say I don't care how a cab would look, like the shitty Peavey cab I was gonna trade for...lol...but, I don't wanna get a smaller sound either, so I may just try to get another 4x12...2) Most 4x12s are roughly the same size, but 2x12s can vary and their sound varies a lot. The Avatar 2x12 I had was huge for a 2x12 and sounded a lot like a 4x12. The Lopoline 2x12 my buddy had was tiny and sounded that way. So it just depends on the size of the 2x12. And I think it does matter even when close miking. Does it matter to a listener? Probably not, but if you yourself know the difference, it makes a difference. In general I think 2x12s are just fine for recording though.
I may hold off on those V30's man, to be honest, it's my next to last favorite, just ahead of the T-75's....I mean they all sound good, just different....
If everything goes as planned (fingers crossed....lol), I should be able to get rid of the little amps, speakers & other shit I don't use....I'll be good to go again, for a while.....
can't have mine back!It took me a little while to get used to my Vintage 30s, but once I did they quickly became one of my go-to speaker choices. I'd like to get my hands on two more. .
can't have mine back!
I'd like to get a single Greenback to try in an Iso-cab, just to see what they sound like.
They sound like awesome.
Well, I've got the 1w DSL sold, I'm just waiting on the guy to paypal the $$$ to me, he's also the guy with the 2 V30's. They're crazy cheap, less than $100 each...But, that deal's only good if I knock that off the price of the DSL-1H....But, that would still leave me enough out of just the 1w amp to buy another cab, either another used 4x12 beater like I've got, or a new, unloaded one from Sourmash. I've been checking the prices between Sourmash & Avatar, and Sourmash is just a little cheaper. I'm sure the cabs are about the same build quality too, so like I say, on just this 1w deal, I've got a couple options I can play around with.So what kind of deals do you have working?
It took me a little while to get used to my Vintage 30s, but once I did they quickly became one of my go-to speaker choices. I'd like to get my hands on two more. I've decided I don't care for the 75s for anything anymore. They're fine live speakers, but I don't ever stick a mic on them anymore.
What kind of ISO cab do you have dude???I'd like to get a single Greenback to try in an Iso-cab, just to see what they sound like.
