Comments on: Guitar Amplifier Isolation Cabinets, Round 3 http://reidgreven.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/guitar-amplifier-isolation-cabinets-round-3/ unessential ramblings about Modern Church Music, and the rest of life...

Yes!! It does look like your link. and also like this one. http://www.riverainfo.com/index.php?view=article&catid=66%3Aisolation-cabinet&id=92%3Asilent-sister-isolation-cabinet-wpressure-relief&option=com_content&Itemid=54 I was wondering if you have ever tried these types of speaker "only"isolation boxes, It seems to me that they would be less hassle than having a whole amp inside a box than having to mess with the mic placement and volume knobs and such, from inside the box.. rather than outside the box, then you only have the speaker and mics to deal with. I was curios why you don't use this speaker only type instead? I am only assuming, but is it because you prefer the miced sound inside your version, as compared to the enclosed speaker version of isolating the amplified sound to run to the main FOH, or perhaps it is bit more economical. I understand that each guitarist likes his own "speaker and amp combo", but if you were able to just have the guitarist bring there amp for that service and run each amp through an isolation speaker box, to me it seems that it would be more economical and less set up time. So my main question is... Have you ever used or thought about using the speaker only boxes for your church or no. If you have ever thought about it, what is your opinion on the difference and quality of each as far as sound quality and user friendliness, I heard that the speaker boxes sound better than the full enclosure over the amp "but out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses let every word be established". Thanks. Martin Reid,

The X3live might suffice. But I am really into tone, and only have enough dough to do one trick or the other. God Bless. I think I understand why you are making these enclosures for the amps,

In fact, the vast majority of our regular guitarists still use the X3 Live. But there are still a handful of guys that rely on their amps, and we still get questions about the Iso Cabinets, hence my Round 3 post. And I'll get back to working on getting some patches...

A while back you talked about possible sharing some of your players X3 patches. Is that still a possibility? Peace, troy Hey Reid,
