Hard Trucker clone

A photo of a guitar cabinet I own that was taken the day I got it in 2003.

Not at all what it looks like. This is a sealed 4 x 12" as opposed to the classic Hard Trucker 4 x 12" open back cabinet. The form factor is all manner of groovy and you can get the feeling of playing in front of a stack with half as many speakers which work better anyway in this line array.

 

Of course seeing the old McIntosh MC 2300 tells you where the inspiration came from, but this pair have actually spent most of their time as an "Entwistle Module" in a bass rig. I split the signal and send the wooly low end to my SVT and then use this with a pedalboard to add distortion, modulation effects and Echoplex to a signal with a little of the bass rolled off. Which is, of course, why it's a sealed cab and using more neutral speakers than Jer's rig did.

 

What I'd really like to do is add a pair of 15" Bag End cabinets and send the lows to that, as well. And if I was Jack Bruce or someone with a small pack of roadies following me around I would, but even the SVT and this amounts to too much for me to carry without a lot of Advil.
