I have a strange subject to start. Mixing amps with other brand cabs. I know a lot of people do this, i just dont know if people know anyhting about it. For example, Justin Chancelor plays through a rack mount (various different pre-amps and shit that i can’t recall), and split to an Ampeg 8 by 10 (or 12) and a second 6 by 10 mesa boogie, i believe. Rich sound.
I currently own a Yorkville xm200 Combo amp. It’s definately a transition amp for now. I’m not too satisfied with it. Just doesn’t seem to solid, or stable. But I definately, for now need more volume, and want to extend it. I could always stick with Yorkville and get the 115 Extension cab, but what do you fella’s think about sending to a 4 x 10 Ampeg? I know it sounds odd, but ampeg is gorgious, and the thought of making my yorkville’s lacking sound even louder is a bit painful. With the ampeg extension, then i can use it for a fuller sound, and then keep it for later upgrades, when i can afford an ampeg head, etc etc…
Would something like this be like mixing oil and water? Or am I just experiementing with what could be an interesting sounding combination. Or maybe it would just be crap altogether.
Any suggestions, and ideas, or your own mixes would be awsome. I’d love to hear what things people have linked together, and what kinds of sounds they’ve produced.
