I bought a 2x12 vertical slant recto cab along with my Mark V because I liked it's versatile sonic range and clarity for all of the musical styles that I like to play. Also, as a vertical slant it projects the sound in a focused vertical slice that allows me to hear my playing the best above all others. Unfortunately this slice cuts both ways and several drummers and bassists that I have played with in various rooms have asked me to turn up the volume on my amp which never seems to make things better as they quite naturally play louder in response. As a consequence I have metered some rehearsals north of 110db. That is much too loud for me and hurts my hearing. Some have asked me to rotate the amp towards them which of course points the sonic slice at stage center where the vocalist complains that the guitar is too loud and he can't hear himself. Also, in that configuration I cannot hear myself well enough. So I'm thinking about adding a 1x12 recto cabinet and pointing it cross stage so that the drummer and bass player get plenty of guitar mojo without the vocalist and myself going deaf. It sounds good in theory, but I'm wondering if any if you have done this and can share the results? Thx.
