But this is what I like to see right here

Well, all my amps are set around 2 cos that's where I like them

This thread rules,

Used a plush head and 2x15 in stereo with a univox head and 2x12 bass cab for years and years
played mostly parking garages and bowling alleys and once inside a boxing ring with it,
also had 2 of the vertical custom 4x12 and a kustom PA head that I would play alot out live used those once in a basement under a dominoes pizza, legit overkill but very much worth it

Fuck yeah you guys. Kill all ears.

I don't have any pictures with super clear quality but I once played a bar that had a max occupancy of 30 in band that included a 60w Egnater Renegade through a Mesa 4x12, a Hartke HA2000 through matched 4x10, and Fender Blues Deluxe with 4 PA speakers supplying the drums and Vocals.

Played a house show in a kitchen with a 2 hundred watters and 2 6x12s, with the bassist rocking a 2x15 and a 4x10. Everyone at that party was kinda pissed. That what a small club is for hardcore I guess.

YESSS, obnoxiously large rigs rule.
Here, I had two of them (one clean one dirty) for BASS: Overkill is underrated!

When I would do power electronics sets years back I refused to go through the PA most of the time. I instead went through a Peavey 1820 cab, a Peavey 120w Rockmaster Head, and an Acoustic B200H head. It was terrifying.

Played a house show in a basement that was pretty much a crawl space using a 1x15 and the B200H, white noise generator into Big Muff into Meatbox and everyone almost shit themselves. It was awesome

Is that an ironing board?

Crayola house? If so, that place is fucking rad.

I routinely bring a V4 into a 412 and 810 to house shows/tiny DIY space shows.

THIS IS WHY ALL THE SPACES ARE CLOSING

Peavey rockmaster ftw! I fully needed a lynyrd skynyrd back line to play basements and tiny bars. Selling this rig before I moved across country is my only gear regret. Skullservant you are a beast. I mostly played guitar through this but I did a few drone sets with some tablet synth & my pedal board and it crushed.

Whats the point? Not that these rigs arent all awesome.
I can get it for solo and noise stuff.
But if all you're doing is masturbating while your band is playing, then why play live? Why play in a band even?
Its totally cool and totally fun, but if yall know these rigs are obnoxious for their use, then isn't it just self-defeating?

My band plays too loud, too. But idk if its something to necessarily be proud of.

Because using an axe fx into the front of house and in-ear monitors is like smoking that fake weed they used to sell in the back of high times.
