RDA DUALIST Demo rig

RDA

Having just lugged a load of gear to another guitar show, I was considering putting together a demo rig just for that purpose. I am planning to load an open backed 4x12 cab with four different generic speaker types which you can switch between 'live'.
I am interested to know your thoughts on which four 12" speakers would folks like to try a DUALIST amp through?

As a lot of us use Marshall cabs with G12 75's or V30's, I would start there. Sounds like a really interesting idea mate

I have a similar rig setup (four identical open back 1x12"s), each loaded with a different speaker. Customers can plug their amp in and switch between all four until they find the one that they like the sound of most. I don't tell them what speakers are loaded, they test blind! It makes for an interesting experiment when preconceptions are omitted.

"I could have sworn that was a Ceramic!" - is the most common exclamation

That is a great idea for customer and builder.  Tick V G.

Great idea Rob...one that I would like to try is the EV..it would be a good idea iff you could mix and match..so you could try them in different combinations ...so maybe 2 on at a time or 3 ECT...or is that what you mean

Bo has EV12Ls (?) In his DUALIST rig I believe. Rather heavy tho I seem to recall. Quite a few people ask about weight of cabs. Too many bad backs now I guess.
I have some Jensen Stealth NEOs too. They have just started doing them with a nice retro bell cover.

Yeah. He loves those speakers but put me off as a choice for mine due to the weight.
