Decided to move a few things around and hook some things up differently. First thing was to move my 2nd Wizard 412 cab upstairs...yeah that was fun! Thought to myself halfway up that this was stupid.
But continued on. After getting it up there I removed the casters so I could stack the cabs in my iso room and mic up both cabs.
So the top cab is now hooked up and mic'd with an I5 on one speaker and a Heil PR30 on the other. The bottom cab is mic'd with an I5 and Beta 57. Both cabs are hooked up to THD Hotplates, the top goes to an 8 ohm and the bottom goes to a 16ohm. I like to run mismatched impedances alot, some amps like it and others don't. This will allow me to do that.
Then I hooked up the Hiwatt to the bottom cab /16 ohm HP and the '68 plexi thru the top cab / 8 ohm HP. Now I'll be able to run multiple amps at the same time if I want. The phase had to be reversed on the Hiwatt so it sounded right...pretty cool!
and with all the DC-2 talk I dug it out since it has stereo outs and ran my modded TS-9 into the DC-2...then out stereo to each amp.
Right now I only have a two channel ART mic pre, so the bottom mics are going thru it and the top are using the mixers mic pres. Guess I'll have to remedy that at some point.
Anyway, recorded a clip banging out some chords using the different settings on the DC-2.

EDIT: Here's some mindless 2:30am noodling of the setup. Hiwatt is on left with Marshall on right. TS9 added partway thru..
