HANGAR18 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 So much for being GAS free. This weekend I picked up a used Marshall JCM 900, 1960b, 4x12 cabinet to go with the "a" cabinet I already had. Clearly this was done to satisfy my ego because, when the hell am I ever going to need this much firepower? This reminds me of that one guitar scene in the original "Back to the Future" movie. Sitting on top of the cabinets is an all-tube Carvin V3 three channel 100W amp... for two reasons... 1. I really like the Carvin V3, especially its versatility. 2. I can't afford all tube 3 channel, made in England, 100W Marshall head. I noticed two things from looking at this photograph I hadn't noticed before. The stack is almost as tall as the entry way into the dining room and when the light from the flash is brighter than the ambient room light, the speaker cones are a lot more visible. It almost makes the tolex screens invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steiner Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Aj Yes! Now you can go aps$hit on buying every imaginable speaker combination "recommended" on the internet. Know what's funny? After spending millions on speakers, you'll probably find you did like the G12T-75s that come stock. Beware the temptation... By the by... That looks formidable! I love it Next step is to turn it past 1:00 and try to walk into the room with either an Eagle or Sweet 16. It's a lot like lion taming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I did try other speakers and yes, I do like these speakers in these specific cabinets quite a bit. So, on the 50W setting, I gradually started turning up the volume, the dog excused herself from the room and went outside, and then I got it up to 6 on the volume dial to test the cabinets together. I only played for a few minutes and my ears really felt it. Those speakers really move a lot of air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersteel Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Looks awesome! I've been thinking about adding a Mesa straight 4x12 cab to the slant 4x12 I already have. I really don't need that kind of firepower, either, but it looks cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I also figured out that if you separate each speaker cabinet, the surround sound effect is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium Maestro Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 There is nothing wrong with that V3 it is very nicely modded, I loved the way those Vintage reissue Mullard tubes sounded. Only negative is it only goes to 10! Enjoy it... Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
