Stereo rigs? What to take into consideration?

[Floyd Eye]

Man I want an 8x10 bad bro….found an old fender 2x15 but dude kinda pissed me off so I’m 50/50 on it.

I used to have a stable of Ampeg 810CLs. It's funny what "Ampeg guys" think is desirable sometimes. I had some good ones. Ones that everyone says are great ones. Never a Blueline though. In the end I shut my band down and whittled it down to one SVT and one cab. I picked the one that stayed based on how it sounded. When I got it narrowed down to two it was between a 2015 Heritage, made in Pa. I think. The last of the American made Ampeg 810s and a 2006 "Dark era" ( supposedly undesirable as the drivers sounded, wait for it, too dark) chipboard cab with zero tolex on it, a grill cloth that I have attached with a pair of drywall screws and "Eat Shit stenciled on it. Guess which one I thought sounded better ?

I don't know, to me running in stereo means more time tweaking and adjusting and less time playing.

I dig that bass. Is that a brass bridge and nut? What model Spectre is it, etc?

I looked at many of the other solutions like the little Rolls mixer, or the RJM Micro Mixer, but I keep coming back to the fact that you have to have a way to split the send to the units, and you need a way to control the on/off of the loops because you cant put most pedals in a mute bypass state. The Parallelizer is one of the only ones I have found that can do all that.

This was one of the reasons I got a red seven mslm. Can split, mic and mute all in 1 unit. Not friendly on space of course being a rack unit
