Good Bass Cab for Mids and Treble

[FugaziBomb]

I'm currently running an 8x10 stereo wet/dry rig for my effects. I typically send a clean DI to front of house and let them mic the cab with a 57 to get my effects. This results in a little low-end bleed on the effects side. To avoid that, I'm thinking of setting up a dedicated bi-amp rig and letting a purpose built PA sub woofer handle all the clean lows, while my mic'd cabinet would only be pumping out mids and highs. Any suggestions for cabs that will really shine in this roll?

Effects are over drive and distortion, but also chorus, filter and delay as well.

You are way more trusting than me. I would never allow a sound tech to have a clean signal and trust that he would put the effects through unless he worked for the band directly. Seen too many of them only use the clean.

Anyway, as long as you're getting the sound you want, I don't think it matters in the least that there's low end in both. But if you really want that, I'd say use a guitar amp.

How's your pay grade? Billy Sheehan gets grief trying to do that.

An easier approach is to do it all in fx with a high pass reblended with low pass before going FOH. You have to mind your phase or the crossover region can drop out but it's manageable and FOH has to eat only one DI so they can't whinge.

Drop the 810 in favour of a fullrange monitor and don't play in any cubbyholes.
