Who runs a "full range" amp?
Hey guys, anyone running a full range/any old instrument amp in their rig?
You know the ones, generally built like a brick shithouse from back in the day.
I was thinking of running a guitar rig and splitting into a bass rig, but now maybe I want something that I can do both with?
Does anyone have one they run with different cabs for the whole spectrum (treble and bass)?
Get back at me.

There's a Bassman Ten locally that I'm eying for use with guitar, Bass VI, bass, synth, and drone. No money doe.

Also I do have a Fender PA100 that I could use for this purpose, but no proper cab.

My old bass player did this with power amps, PA speakers, bass cabinets, preamps and a mixer. It was just for his bass though. And to piss everyone off (couldn't hear anything...he had that bass pushing every frequency band possible).
I think his pedal board was dmm, gigadelay, green Sovtek Muff, space station, and whammy 3?

Your bass player sounds like he was a dick, you've mentioned him in other threads before, but FUCK is that a pedal board!

I run a peavey max biamped into a 3620 and an 810 for half my rig at our practice space and it's incredible. Adds so much low end and clarity as the sole melody instrument in a band. The other half is a V4 into a 412 and 215

It's ridiculously loud for sure. Totally worth it for headroom alone though. Stereo is the only way to do it. I'm adding a '65 bandmaster to it once my tax return comes inspacelordmother wrote:Christ.BoatRich wrote:I run a peavey max biamped into a 3620 and an 810 for half my rig at our practice space and it's incredible.

Traynor YBA-3. Sounds amazing with everything I've hit it with. Too good.

Have (or had? Buddy gave it to me for my birthday and he needed to use it and said "I guess we both own it now" or something
) a PA135 that sounded awesome for all instruments. Lackluster tone section but you can chain all channels for a little growl and power and apparently it can be run dangerously with too many cabs but I never tried
if you can find them they're not too expensive. $300?

Re: Who runs a "full range" amp?
I think you'll get decent or maybe better results with full range speakers and a regular guitar amp. Most guitar speakers act as a massive lpf, so I'd start there.
But fuzz is going to sound like running direct into your sound card, unless I've really misunderstood full range speakers. Never actually played them.
