Broke the rules and the result was astounding

Slade, in their early days, used this approach to create a wall of sound.

If Big Stu's still about he'll probably confirm that Slade , in their early days , used this approach to create a wall of sound. They'd all have cabs either side of the stage. We've done it on occasion. Another approach I used on big stages was to put a table on it's side behind my stack to 'reflect' the rear ported ashdowns I had at the time. Worked very well.

That's a pretty cool idea! My cabs are rear ported too.

I'm that boring and predictable huh! Check out post #5
It was their roadie & Nod's school-friend Swin (Graham Swinnerton)'s idea. Nod & H splitting one of their AC30's speakers with the opposite one on the other side of the stage.
Jim was using a Selmer head at the time with two cabs.
