    JGP I really enjoy your input on all things Speakers @JGP - to most it seems to be dark art, but you seem always to make sense - thanks!

      • In Where do you buy speakers

        d10221 For drivers @JGP (I'm tagging him in the hope he pops up on this thread - he knows his speakers!) - I think he work(s/ed) at Profaudio (http://www.profaudio.co.za/) and they do distribute Celestion amongst other things.

        As for cabs, I'm not sure - have seen a few guys throwing together cabs on a facebook forum(s) (SAMIS - south african instrument music store is a good place to ask?)

        • In Advice on full range powered speakers

          It depends...

          On a budget and for ease of use a acoustic combo works for me.The Ibby Troubador combo's are pretty good for the $. A 20w can get loud - though it won't hang with a drummer. A fishman loudbox is a step up and probably can hang with a calmer drummer (such a thing exist?)

          Can always go for a powered wedge too - possibly better than a combo - laney do some reasonably priced wedges.

          Don't get me wrong - I do like @JGP's solution, it'll get the most out of a existing pedalboard setup. And it is VERY giggable. You'd be able to DI the hotone and use the speaker as a monitor. Though if I'm already using a multifx, I'd not want to add another layer of amp sim's/eq - for me (now), simpler is better.

          One thing I DO like about the multifx/powered speaker route is that the possibility opens up to easily add stereo to the rig...if I did a lot of textural stuff (ambient/delay/modulations), I'd think about that.

          modulator Norman86 posted in another thread (uhm, moderators, how does one reference here?):

          Just cut n paste the url from the thread and it'll pop up as a hyperlink your post. Also you can 'tag' someone by putting an @ in front of their username (E.g. @modulator means you'll get a notification from both this reply and the tag in this sentence).

          The info that @JGP and @klaasvakie are sharing is gold - thanks guys!
