Vol Pedal to Ext Cab?

Re: Vol Pedal to Ext Cab?



Volume is quite the issue w/teh older crowd,esp if he's in the band.
Singer's kind of a puss,too,honestly,but a lot of that is his inexperience w/a board.

Just tryin'to play nice & get some chops in.And some occasional ca$h helps,as well.

Can you throw a blanket or towel over it? Turn a closed back to face the wall?

It's fine on my side,although this is the "quietest" situation I've played in.

Work in progress,for damn sure...

Thnx Again!

Re: Vol Pedal to Ext Cab?

One thought...are both speakers the same model and the same impedance? If there is a mismatch in efficiency, it makes things more difficult. Likewise, mixing a closed-back with an open back can cause an imbalance.

I almost always use a Mesa combo with a 112 Mesa EVM Thiele cab with my band; but I stack the amp on the cab. We do a lot of low volume gigs and she never has a problem hearing me. There's kind of a sweet-spot for setting the amp against the wall--I want a few inches of space between amp and wall to the sound can spread through reflection. Too far away though, and you lose the coupling effect with the wall.

Good luck!

You'd need an "L pad".

P.S. I think I know someone who can install it for you.

Can you use an L-pad with a tube amp? I don't know.

If it's a tube amp, get an attenuator. Other than that, you can put a volume pedal in the effects loop, and have a similar effect. You might be better served to get a smaller amp.

Got other stuff that's a priority...

Nope,not an option.
Amp is a MarshallVS100 combo,same as Aceman's.'Cept mine's got a 16ohm Emi Legend spkr innit...

I'll get something figured out,I think,w/what's on hand.Still gotta find time/space to get it all together,tho...will report back,for sure.

& Thnx Again!
