They're certainly not going to be mistaken for anything else.

Pete Townsend's brother uses them.

Wouldn't fancy lugging them to a gig though...

I forsee some odd speaker loads. wiring one of those for 4,8, or 16 ohms i think would be impossible

i think they are 2x12's.

I also think they would be a nightmare to load in a tour van if you're short for space.

Each cab is a 3x12 and I agree, they'd be awful in a cramped van  :lol:

nice cab tony!

what i want to know is... what if you just want to use one cab?
3x12 eh? you could get the right loads couldn't you? with maybe a 2 16ohms in series, and 1 32ohm in parallel with that, for example? I dunno.

"Proprietary Triangle Speaker Enclosure eliminates harsh beaming associated with typical 4x12 cabinets"
why would a triangular cab stop beaming?

for a 3x12, I'd imagine he has two 16ohm speakers in parallel for 8ohms, then either a single 8ohm speaker in parallel with the two 16s for 4ohms, or a single 8ohm in series with the two 16s for 16ohms.

When they make diamond shaped ones, I'll buy in and about 32. Well, as long as they can do blues and oranges. I have this Qbert costume that's begging to be dusted off.

What do you call that? A full stack? A 1-and-a-third stack?

This has obviously been written by the guy at tonegrinder!

lol wez very true, least peavey when they tried to do something different changed the headshape (http://www.andertons.co.uk/Products/i/xl__sh-219-0270.jpg) shame sounded like arse to me

Not convinced this is such a good idea. I mean yes, it looks cool - but it forces you to use three identical cabs, what happens if you have limited space on the stage? What if one cab is in for repair?

I'd like a round cab.

lol what if you only buy one cab...sit your amp next to it on the floor?

Aha round cab! Might be a revolutionary idea for transportation, just roll it there! And maybe have legs that fold out sorta like the bass drum on a drum kit :P

I saw Roger Daltry's Tommy tour a couple of weeks ago and Simon Townshend was using that 3 cab setup.  He got a great sound with a variety of guitars.
