[/quote] Where from? I use the poor dispersion of a 4x12 to alter the acoustic response of my instrument, I use it as a tool, so I'm pretty aware of it. I don't claim its 'my tone' because that would sound like I'm limited to a single tone. The tone is for anyone listening and they can place themselves accordingly. But if you want people to hear what you are hearing, then you need to be concerned with dispersion.

OC3 in OC2 mode is what they meant the OC2 to sound like, not what it actually sounded like.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1343769897' post='1755079'] I realise there are engineering 'no go's' when it comes to cabs, but why does the 4x10 work so well if dispersion is a problem? If you are gigging, its just a monitor usually. Giving you 'your tone' to your ears, then FOH can either take a mic to your cab and have the same tone, DI it post from your amp, or pre from your amp...so in the end it shouldn't matter. [/quote] It doesn't work so well, that is the problem. Its a monitor that you can't hear in close proximity, which is a bad monitor, the tone that gets you your ears isn't what gets to the mic in front of it because your ears aren't at mic level.

The problem is dispersion and thus its either on axis or off axis, depending on where your ears are when you eq. Keeping using a cab with a blown speaker is a terrible idea, the dead speaker becomes a passive radiator and messes up the tuning of the cab, meaning the other speakers are going to fail sooner rather than later, and it messes with the impedance, might short because it is broken and thus unpredictable etc.

Where are you, and how much does it weight? Can you basically pack it?

I'd prob give something for it broken because better chance of being able to ix it than most, save binning it.

Most people don't like the tweeter on those anyway, so no horn isn't a massive deal. They don't sell for much but they are a sensible size if not weight.

Pretty much eq, plus bits of distortion in places, and high and low filtering. You can make a Markbass set to clean sound like an Ampeg by adding a Sansamp VT bass. The cab generally will have more colour than the amp set flat, but flat doesn't mean all the knobs in the middle.

Looks kind of like a Mo clifton: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/13304-mo-clifton-basses/

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1343670975' post='1753490'] I ran out of solder and ran to the local old old electronics shop, been there years (now closed ) asked for some solder and got some lead stuff.... best stuff ever - quite a step up from maplins basic stuff! anyway, I found this thread and that was my interesting comment on it! [/quote] 60/40 lead solder is still available to the hobbyist, just not from Maplins, because Maplins is a terrible shop that recommends you go to bigger fuses if the ones you bought before keep blowing.

Do you have both pickups on full? Back one off gets you more mid in a more natural way. cutting some proper lows will help with the peaking, peavey heads do seem to do lots of low that isn't always fun for cabs.

Bust open an ebay case anyway, worst that can happen is nothing. If he is being a dick about it it won't go well for him.

Checked their other videos? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FtZ7KBjN24[/media] This one might be a bit more specialty interest: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojTEAjzM-0s[/media] I look for opportunities to say 'Get me Steve O'Malley'.

I'd generally associate it with cheaping out on wood selection, and cheaping out on wood I associate with cheaping out on everything else, so it better be a cheap instrument.

There were a pair of chaps that set up a trailer to look a bit like a juke box and sat in it, drums and guitar, doing covers in a country style with costumes and such, the options where on the front and you pushed the button, it lit up and they played it. Seen them twice around my university, and every time I passed them for the whole event both times, they were playing 'Ace of Spades' They had about 20 songs and that's all anyone chose.

Bad pre valve

Gotta be best calling them.

As for the clipping, because of the use of valves with too much gain in it as standard, it will be clipping in the preamp most of the way round the gain dial, to clip the power amp, you'll hear your cab farting out before then, just need to listen for the wrong distortion.

Sansamp BDDI has a clean out that works as a split, boss tuners have two outputs, wiring in two outputs like the attitude is fairly easy. Loads of pedals have multiple outputs. Some amps have tow inputs you can run a cable from the other one into another amp, like bridging inputs on valve amps.

Loads of my favourites play with a pick, DD Verni, Duff etc. I can't be dealing with a pick.

Sell up, ringfence the income from it, hit up trade section. Some money shooting about there could help me out a lot.

Not all gigs are the same.
