amp experiment

[mick thompson]

i cant do this because i dont have 2 of the same amp but...

if i plugged into my 6505 on the lead channel and had my bass on 9, mids on 9 and treble on 9, then i took the preamp out and plugged into another 6505 on the lead channel and put my bass to 3, mids to 3 and treble to 3 would they cancel each other out? when i output to my cab?

many of you are prob thinking what the fuck is wrong with me but well curiosity killed the cat!

you are talking complete nonsense, stop doing drugs.

I've heard of slaving amps into each other but...

It would sound like crap. Trust me.

 

[Metal Overload]

Didn´t The Haunted do something similar for rEVOLVEr??

 

[beyond dead]

yeah, that was posted here. i think 2 5150s the 1st with clean channel, second one green channel. kinda like using a ts. but in no way woul;d they cancell each other out, i dont think, then again not to sure what is meant by "cancel out"

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah dude, I'm sorry but that might be one of the dumbest things I've ever read - and besides, since the 5150 has a passive eq, all it can do is cut, therefore 3 is just more cut than 9. Even on an amp with an active eq, such as the XXX/JSX (and I think Rectos, among others no doubt), there are way too many other factors. And more importantly, who the hell cares?!

 

[VH100R]

do that but max the volume on the heads... You bet your ass they will cancel!

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

I always respect it when someone tries new, weird things out of curiosity, but...

 

[Godhasblessedme]

No. Been there, done that many centuries ago with Marshall heads, it sounds shite.
A 6505 with a maximiser and decent cabs sound plenty big enough without having to slave or rune two heads.

I thought about something similar to this some time ago and decided to have a go at cancelling out sound using 2 heads and cabs. I got 2 6505's and 2 Mesa Cabs. I used exactly the same settings on both heads. I faced the cab's towards each other BUT I reversed the phase on the speakers in one of the cabs. It took a while but I finally placed a mic in between the 2 cabs in the right spot and recorded the result. There is still a little bit of sound but it's close to being gone. It can be heard here:

[viggen666]

how did it sound like when you left both cabs in phase ?

cool experiment btw.

Wow! It really works!

 

[mick thompson]

ahhh! not so dumb now am i bitches! its an interesting topic! now bow down to your irish god!

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Fine, fine. Get yourself two 5150's to make them produce as little sound as possible.

 

[mick thompson]

and then boost the shit out of the sound with an eq and hope for the best - you never know! i may just make a new sound no one has ever heard before! dun dun dunnnn
