I Noticed the Four Ampeg Cabs too.

Thats a lot of Juice.

I wish they were still trying to break the world sound record like they used to always do...some good days.

I think 2 of those cabs were his and the other two were Jennifer Finch's (LZ)

Yeah makes sense, NO one needs that much power for the venues of about 500 capacity.

You wouldnt even be getting more volume or anything Just more sound pressure per square inch.

Hes only running two of those then.

Decibel Hall of Fame: The Making of Melvins' Stoner Witch
August 2014

Melvins have always prided themselves on an economical approach to the studio. What did you do with the money left over from the budget for Stoner Witch?

Crover: We bought a bunch of gear. We bought four SVT cabinets, two Hiwatt stacks and road cases for all of our gear. Then we went on tour with L7 and had a massive amount of gear every night. That was back when we thought it was a good idea to have a bunch of gear like that. Of course, the older we get, the less gear I want to carry around. I remember that there were a couple of gigs where there wasn't enough room onstage for all four SVT cabinets, but our sound guy was determined to get all of them up there, so he ended up stacking the cabinets on top of each other, and it ended up looking like Black Sabbath's old backline. That's how he got his nickname, "Old School."

trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and
pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
There's also a negative side."
