Celestion thump

Ted if it were me, I'd do something like..

- Main amp to the current cab.
- Slave out to one of your Mesa power amps, having it run the new more ass kicking cab.
- Adjust volume to taste.

Having a power amp running the second cab where you can balance volumes is the way, and negates most other blending issues.

Interesting. Have never used a slaved set up, but in the room that makes a lot of sense. Love your main cabs tone but wish it had just a bit more of something. Use the power amp volume to give it just that through a second cab. Good suggestion to the OP in my opinion!

Redback…they are very scooped on their own. I use a Redback with a V30 to get lows and highs since the v30 has neither.

Great idea........................:2thumbsup:

Maybe a 2x12 with a Redback and V30 or whatever you like, maybe a redback, EVM12L or a Celestion Creamback H75 being driven by the slaved power amp that has a resonance/depth mod like the old Peavey 50/50's and 120/120's, a used Matrix GT1000FX or whatever you like would also do the job. Use a Suhr Iso line out or Bray box like MetalHeadmike to tap the signal from your Marshall speaker jack and then feed the line out level from the Suhr box to the power amp that drives the 2x12. You could even run an Graphic or Parametric EQ into the power amp to further sculpt what you want to hear low end wise.

Pretty simple setup and it may provide enough low end to your liking and you won't have to buy a powered ISP subwoofer setup.

Hey Metalheadmike, does ISP still make the powered sub setup anymore?

EXCEPT I don't want a whole cabs worth of another speaker just for the thump. I think the isp can work and work well.

After you add up all the items to slave with a power amp you probably are just better off getting am ISP powered sub which just does the low end thing well and you won't have to keep trying different speakers.
