It is a site to behold. I don't own enough speaker cables to wire it all up. Of course I will fix that at work tomorrow.

I'm just gona say, selling my soul to Satan was easily the best decision I've ever made. I have his number if y'all need a hookup.

Despite my iPad's cracked screen.... Yes. I owe it to the world.

Follow your dreams. You CAN reach your goals. I'm living proof.

Oh that's my amp tech, Charlie. He is in charge of making sure he can climb to the top of the stack.
 
Re: it's raining cabs

I spent all day driving to obtain this cab, then had band practice, but now I've had about 13 beers and I've got a tall glass of wine to finish before I fall asleep, so I actually feel like talking about this crap.

The Emperor 2x12 is bad ass and was a total stroke of luck. I bought a solidstate 100w Gibson 2x12 from a guy almost a year ago and I liked it a lot (sounded very BBKing clean and very Greg Ginn with dirt pedals) but I never used it. I put it in the clist and a dude offered to swap for the Emperor. YES PLEASE. 16ohm with Swamp Thangs. 300w of ebony-stained awesome.

As for the main event... That is a real, honest to gods, 1994 or earlier Green MATAMP 4x12. This is the same type of cab Matt Pike toured & recorded with for SLEEP and the first few High on Fire albums. I bought it from Shane from Odessa and perhaps more famously DOOMSAYER... And he told me not to quote him, but he's pretty sure the guy he bought it from 15+ years ago bought it from Matt Pike.



The 100w Celestion speakers in the Matamp emphasize the lows and make it seriously growl. The Orange PPC412 with V30s is way more focused in the mids. I imagine the Orange PPC412HP which rocks a different kind of 100w Celestion is similar but I've never had both in the same room.

I know a dude with one of those PPC412HPs in black... I wonder if I can talk him out of it...
 
Re: it's raining cabs

Matt Pike may have used that amp?

HOLY FAWK.

I saw sleep two years ago. Matt was using 3 SLO100's each with their own full stack. **** was ****ing insane. Oh yeah and they played Dopesmoker.

It's too bad your Bassman only has a 4ohm out. I love that the OT in mine was long gone so I had to get a new one. I can power any cabinet, super convenient.
