a lot of those 412 cabs int he 80s were for show and not plugged in. Cream in 68 is probably another story...
The craziest thing about Mascis’s rig isn’t the 4 full stacks - he also has a full Hiwatt stack to his right, but not pictured above. No, the craziest part of his rig is the Fender Twin at face-level and full blast that acts as his stage monitor for his rig. He’s gotta be pretty close to completely deaf at this point. Even with plugs in, Dino Jr are brutally loud live.for reals

yep i saw them in san diego. also saw the original ramones at the bacchanal in san diego, medium sized club. 3 marshall stacks i‘m sure they were all active. absolutely unbearable volume.a lot of those 412 cabs int he 80s were for show and not plugged in. Cream in 68 is probably another story...
I cant sleep because of this. NoooooooooooooooO man...that’s a burst bubble!
Thank god some things are still real....Imagine Mark Knopfler playing a Kemper!
Wizard amps do say the line out is for amplifier ganging. The thought of a dozen Wizards going is insane.Watch some rig run downs. There are plenty of "secrets" shared.
Slayer's Kerry King runs multiple amps to multiple cabs in such a way it sounds right to him as he walks around on stage, without blowing his ears off.
AC/DC, has like a dozen amps going at once.
Yeah, they are Motörhead loud.The craziest thing about Mascis’s rig isn’t the 4 full stacks - he also has a full Hiwatt stack to his right, but not pictured above.

Agreed, saw them in Denver at the bluebird (1000 people sized club). J was definitely louder than the PA. Pretty sure the mics on the cabs were just for show.The craziest thing about Mascis’s rig isn’t the 4 full stacks - he also has a full Hiwatt stack to his right, but not pictured above.
