It’s not just speaker area, it is also speaker cone movement. If the 40% increased surface area has less excursion than the 12” conenthen it will not move as much air, won’t be as loud and the dispersion curve/zone may well not be as good. Also it’s the efficiency of the drivers and how much of the watts they actually burn up before translating it into a sound wave Just saw you mentioned drivers being the same. Remember speaker enclosure size as well, it gets too much for my tiny mind

I had an LH1000 no issues, cheap as chips bought for about £140 in a flight case, bloody heavy and noisy but fine, I quite like the EQ shape, and it lead me to get a Hartke VXL pedal which is the best thing ever. Had a Darkglass M900, good but not for me. Now got a Form Factor Audio Bi1000. Nice clean power, it’s not bee tested properly in anger yet, but by all accounts it handles everything with ease. As most people have said here, each to his or her own. Lozz is very well respected and is big on Ashdown and sounds great, I would probably not use the same set up (and sound worse than him) but mine works for me

[quote name='moonbass' timestamp='1505852888' post='3374828'] I think a lot of pub gigs would be more successful if drummers paid more attention to volume balance. I generally find kick and toms are too quiet and snare and cymbals drown everything out. I've noticed the band Vulfpeck always damp their snares even at large gigs with cloth, presumably in keeping with their low volume ethos. Does anyone make low volume cymbals? [/quote] Low volume cymbals are the ones with holes in it that look like my grandfathers old pants

Just to reinforce what people has said. I have an Alexis SR16, I bought itnsexondnhand for peanuts, it’s fine for very very simple stuff on the fly, but that’s about it. I’ve got logic and EZDrummer. Logic is brilliant, EZDrummer is amazing and as and when you have more money you can add different drum packs, rhythms etc. To widen your sound. Once you have created a drum patch it drags and drops across to populate a track on Logic no problem. As long as you then have your USB audio interface you can then record whatever instrument you want alongside it. It’s really and intuitive and easy, especially if you are used to Macs and GarageBand The other thing is that if you want to expand further and you have a friendly drummer with an electronic kit, you can take a midi out of it into the audio interface and create your own drum kit in EZDrummer, so you could have Bonham floor Tom, Ludwig snare, Gretsch mid Tom, Tama bass drum etc. Then you can live play your beats around your track you have laid down with a basic beat.

Fully agree with Bolo He has serious chops across the spectrum

Oh crikey, I am such a bell end, thanks for that. I was thinking of the film Machete at the time. Silly me

I did mean Les Claypool not Lee! Interludes like in Carwash I think are a good use of slap, but I am not a massive fan of the ‘virtuoso’ slap especially for demo of amps. We can’t forget Bernard Edwards either and his chucking technique, this can be reproduced with a pick, but he was phenomenal. Another example is Danny Trujillo when he was in suicidal tendencies, awesome use of slap, he is wasted in Metallica, he has too much groove, and I like Metallica!

Just get another, I think they have released edition 3

Do what I do and get a DI box you’ll never use...... ;-)

I had a lot of fun putting the octave after an MXR, fuzz, distortion, Source Audio Manta and hot hand. Any combination of the above would be on before the octave, you can get some whacky sounds, especially dub step type wobbles, does not have to be a hot hand, can be an expression pedal. Pop your drive pedal before the envelope and then octave after that, see what happens. I did tell you this before though............to hell with perceived pedal order just go for it!
-
Thank you Cameron, I have been telling him for ages to do that! Al, if you put it under a distortion pedal you can get increased hum, that plus London tube noise would be poo. Get your drill out!
-
Agree with all points especially in contacting Alex via email not on here. Don’t discount a Supertwin, I love mine
-
I say get all of them and the. You can have a 310 or a 410! But if you don’t want that, if you think you play gigs where a 110 is enough but sometimes you need a 210, then get separates, otherwise get the 210

I love a big pedal, that GlouGlou plain kills it!

I agree with Musicman20, they are definitely missing a big big trick with their stuff, the clean amp is rather good, and a good EQ, but we never hear it. I really liked the clean EQ, but too many nobbles for me to tinker, and i wasn't using the distortion which to my ears still does not quite sit together with the clean sound, there is a slight separation rather than a pure parallel. Anyway, they rally need to advertise the clean more, or it may have made more sense to bring out just a clean version of the amp with no distortion circuit, then you don't need the pedal they don't provide with the amp.........
-
Oh i dunno either way, but recently i got an amp with a Gator carry case thrown in (think it is about the same quality but less expensive if buying alone) and 2 power cables, Canare guitar lead, couple of T shirts for no more than the actual amp price...........

get a second SC or a BB2 and combine!

[quote name='bjelkeman' timestamp='1507241314' post='3384255'] True. I was more referring to the pricing of the rest of the DG gear. I thought someone mentioned the amp went up in price. [/quote] The price hike was on Andertons. Before the release of M500 the M900 was £795 (release price about £900) The minute M500 is released at £725, the M900 goes back up again to about £900. That alone is a bit naughty. The sterling/euro/dollar thing annoys me, it’s probably not their fault though, but placing the it same price in Dollars as Sterling does adversely affect us. It’s a little more sour if it is true (and Doug said this on a video on his feed on instagram) that the Cab is made in the UK. The most expensive place to buy the cab, is the country it is made in...... Anyways, I think we will politely disagree on the value for money on these, and as everyone says a product is only worth what you are prepared to spend on it, I may give it a go when it’s half price second or third hand.....

Vanderkley are better than Barefaced cabs, right?!
Cuzzie replied to Al Krow's topic in Amps and Cabs
So you have tested them in the wild, and they are not great. Thanks for that, I know it’s one persons opinion Wolverine, but I know from our conversations we have similar thoughts. -
http://www.palmer-germany.com/mi/en/POCKET-AMP-MK-2-Portable-Guitar-Preamp-PEPAMPMKII.htm Palmer pocket amp is a great bit of kit for the price. Also the sennheiser and PJB headphones whilst close are not the same just re-badged, there are some differences sonically which make it better for bass guitar
