So I've started to build a vertical 2x12 custom cabinet, partly based off of the old halfback vertical 2x12 design. The top speaker is open back, and the bottom speaker will be in a thiele cab, so a little different than just the ported bottom of the halback design, so of course in the bottom I...

I think it will turn out pretty good too. Though I haven't gotten to work on it as much over the past two months. I'm still filling in holes to prepare for the liner finish. Almost got that done. The build out to make it a straight profile cab turned out nice, though I did have to use some...

A while ago I picked up an 80's slant halfback cab that turned out had whack speakers in it (I couldn't try it at the time I bought it, they looked fine but two had tears and two didn't work at all). So I dropped some extras I had in it and moved it to the practice space where my drummer's cats...

Interesting things to consider! Out of all that I think the only thing I'd really desire is the built in reverb (aside from the more compact form factor), though this could be handled via pedal or another rack effect. I understand the desirability of the 5 slider EQ on the marks, but I like my...

OK, decision made! Nothing is being bought or sold. Did a sound comparison between the Velocity 150 and the 2:90 and no surprise, the 2:90 sounded so much better. So much so that it makes the weight a non-issue. If I get into a situation where I'm transporting my rig a lot again I'll just put...

Well, I got the Triaxis thinking that I would use more that 3 channels, but the reality is that I really don't. But I liked that I could use MIDI to switch channels (even built myself a custom MIDI footswitch that works great) and that got me the ability to potentially have different effects...

Yes, I am trying to keep that in mind. I got a reasonably good deal on it, and I do like how it sounds. I need to pair it up with my other power amp (old Rocktron Velocity 150) and see how it sounds. I know if the Velocity won't have the same "umph" that the 2:90 has in a band situation being...

I've lurked here for a while, not posted much if at all. I got turned onto Mesa rigs by a fellow forumite (ThunderMonkey) who I've been in a band with. Ended up building a Triaxis/2:90 rig that I love (2:90 came from another forumite). However I'm not in a band at the moment, and don't know...

You got the latest firmware update (C48 I think it is), the update where they fix the position of the noise gate? With that and a cable swap I've pretty much eliminated the noise issues with my 1101 and Triaxis. I think the main culprit was the crappy cables that I apparently was using between...

Man, I so want/need a bottom cab, but I'd really prefer one with EVMs on bottom. That and I'm all the way down here in NC which would make it a ***** to ship or come get. :-(

A while back I picked up an old halfback 4x12 without being able to plug it in first (don't know how old it is). Everything looked to be OK with the speakers, but once I got it home I discovered that the C-90s up top didn't work at all, and the VS-12s on bottom, while they worked, both had rips...

Yes, thanks Will! Jason here, figured I should join up now that I'll have something to come to the BB to talk about and obsess over and tweak and of course lust over all the gear that I don't have! And wouldn't you know it, now FedEx has pushed the estimated delivery day back to Tuesday from...
