ok, got Axe, Got poweramp, got rack coming... need cab.

Suggestions for good FRFR cab? have been looking at FBT Verve 12m or the atomics but totally open to suggestions.

I play more doom style stuff so it needs to be melodic more than harsh sounding.

Atomics. They will sound as you dial them.

 

[eleven59]

From what I've heard, nothing beats the Atomics.

Most standard PA speakers are pretty bright and aggressive in the highs since they're trying to get maximum coverage in a crowded room (full of nice, squishy, high-frequency-absorbing people).

 

[Soopahmahn]

They're also the only thing that looks like fucking guitar gear. :yesway: And for the record, they are a very black sparkle, not very sparkly at all in fact, so I have no problem rocking them for metal.

 

[Rampant]

can you tilt the "square" atomics back to use them as monitors?

Why not? Look at Coop's thread.

Wow, it was four whole threads down from yours. C'mon, man.

Anyway, if one is not loud enough for me, I will get a second to make a boner-inducing mini-stack. If one is loud enough, I'll have what he's having.

You can put them in an amp stand just like any other small cab or combo:

Or you could get the Atomic Wedges lol:

yeah I am kinda a lazy bum. Hrmm... it sounds like some people really like the atomics, and some don't. Maybe it all comes down to the power amp. The atomics are MUCH cheaper than the other competition I was looking at...

ok, now, wedge vs straight cab?

Depends on the application. Wedge will make a stand less likely to be needed. It will project the sound up towards your ears, thus making it "brighter"

needs to act as stage monitor, home practice speakers, and something to aim at audience for small gigs or band practice.

 

[Jason]

I would go wedge then.

I'd get the standard cab and a stand, so you can angle it if you need to, but still have the option of running it vertically or horizontally like a standard cab.

Matter of fact, if you need to aim it at the audience for a small gig, putting it on it's side is best as you get the best horizontal sound dispersion that way, and it also keeps a speaker nearer your head level so you can hear better.

 

[Rampant]

I would go wedge then.

can you use it to aim at audience, just stand it on the side I guess?

 

[Rampant]

went with Cab. can always buy a stand.

 

[LordOVchaoS]

I think I'm going with passive Atomics and a solid state amp, probably Carvin or ART, dunno yet.

I want to eliminate tubes totally, if possible.
