I have a Marshall 2061cx 212 cab and a 1965b on its way. I was wondering if anyone else has thought of combining the two before?

I've tried a 1x12" on top of a 4x10", kind of overkill in my room but I guess it could be useful in some concert situations. The thing about it is the cab you put on top will seem louder and with a lot more highs because it's closer to ear level.

I'll bet it sounds stupendous.

I use a 1x12 and a 2x10 cab, and totally dig it. I always mic the 1x12.

Unless it's a small gig, I'll sometimes use, say, a 2x12 open backed combo with a 1x12 closed back extension cab — spread plus punch. Depending on the size/layout of the stage I may angle one or other of them to get a better spread of sound, hopefully without annoying anyone else in the band.

On a couple of tunes we do I'd love to play in stereo with one cab over the other side, but I wouldn't want another player to have to listen to my delayed signal right behind him.

Back in the day, the old Litherland Town Hall venue in Liverpool had its stage along one of the 'long' sides of the rectangle — ie. you played across the hall. Maybe it's still like that. It was a big barn of a place with hard walls and you spent all night listening to double snare hits — the one the drummer played, and then a loud echo coming right back at you across the hall. It was bad enough playing to this, but I've no idea how anyone managed to dance to it.

That hall sounds a lot like the gym I played my first show at when I was 17. The stage was in the middle of the long wall. It had a carpeted floor though, do that helped with the echo a little. Thanks for the input!
