  1. Every room is sooo different. Consistency is tough but once your fundamental tone is good, the fun begins.

    We used to play this little shithole dive that I initially hated because the stage was a weird shape - which made for an odd set-up - and the sound was always hit or miss (eventually it became my favorite place). One night the stage mix was perfect - I mean, anywhere you stood sounded amazing - and the band just ran with it. I don't know how it sounded out front but if the crowd heard what we heard, they witnessed our best night.

    What is the best way to get a stereo signal without ideally affecting your base tone?

    In a closed 4x12 for instance would running it stereo with a plate like this really sound different and fantastically better than all four speakers same input?

    #1. Any sort of time-based stereo effect into two amps (basically a doubler, stereo delay or chorus that isn't dailed up too much). I currently use a Boss DD-6 on my live rig.

    #2. Not different. Just bigger, better, faster, more. You will definitely notice it and it will spoil you, even with a closed-back 2x12 or 4x12. You don't want much 'effect'. You just need the split and a little time variation.

    Listen to any stereo recording in mono. Then flip it back to stereo. That's what you'll get.

  3. I've used these on a couple of cabinets:

    Jack Plate - Plug and Play, Mono / Stereo image 1

    https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/jack-plate-plug-and-play-mono-stereo    Pretty clever and solves a few issues.

    My favorite speaker is a Eminence Lil Texas, a neodymium variation of the Texas Heat. Punchy, tight low end, rounded highs. They're a little stabby new, but once they're broken in, they sound pretty great (I use Fender amps, mostly). And they are about 1/2 the weight (4 lbs!), which is huge with a 4x12 cab.

  4. Gravelin Cowpie Customs or Duncan Antiquities, with Josh having the edge.

    The Cowpie Custom Bridge pickup (the one in front) moves the adjustable poles for the E,B and G to the bobbin closer to the neck and reeeeally fattens things up. I'm pretty sure they are a Shlabotnik variant (I can't remember). My LP, Shishkov and Special FM have these installed and the results are phenomenal.
