shit is so annoying. move your shit off stage, breakdown, pickup. pretty simple.

Fuck yeah, the space on that stage was sooo nice! I had to borrow 2 instrument cables from Mike because it was so huge! Thanks again, Mike! You rule dude!

I'm glad to see the doom bros all know this and apply it to their life. It just seems like every single band I play with is opposite of that. Even when I was drumming with the bigger non-rack kit.. 9 piece with 7 cymbals I still could set up in 5 minutes and actually get everything off stage in 5 minutes. I would have my shit off the stage before the guitarist would have all his shit unplugged(in one of my bands, the other I toured much with was equally as fast as me).

It's probably pointless to chime in at this point, but I stack side by side. I've also done gear tech work for bands that wanted to play very loud and use lots of amps on stage in the past and had them stack side by side. Personally I just like the way it distributes the sound compared to stacked vertically, especially if you're playing on the floor and not on a stage (which is most of my experience anyway). I find it to be more practical, easier to handle and quicker to move too. I agree with what was said about loading and unloading in a timely manner.

i stack that shit. i like that it blasts the face off of myself and anyone else around. i'm also a traditionalist in that i like two 4x12's over other options, so i don't have precarious shit to deal with. full stacks also just look fucking cool, for what it's worth. and we rarely play with enough room to spread shit out side by side.

I've been stacking lately too, but just for space reasons. Two oversized 2x12's and two oversized 1x12's is a lot for the amount of room in my wife and I's apartment.

How do you run 4 cabs when an amp only has 2 speaker outputs? And what does that do the output at each cab? Half of the amps output at each cab?
