Does anyone have a 5-string Tanglewater they can bring? The gas pressure is rising.

Nice one Jon. No more X-Factor either I guess.

By making some special cables 4 x 8-ohm cabs can be wired in series/parallel to give a total 8-ohms although whether the final result gives you what you think you'll get is questionable as it takes no account of the power handling/distribution among the individual drivers. The other thing to consider is whether the cabs are all in-phase.

There is nothing to stop you using an 8-ohm speaker however the max output would be just over half say around 90-watts when fully wound up. You could however add an additional 8-ohm cab to get the max. BTW [i]"ohmage"[/i] is not an approved technical term, the correct description is [i]"impedance"[/i]

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1345661504' post='1780243'] Thanks for that. It's on the right track. May need 2-3 in black or brown. [/quote] I found a pair on Ebay. Used one for a while then sold it to another BCer. No idea who made them. Very, very rare. This one is surplus to my needs and available. Currently I have a custom Flightcase Warehouse case, 4U with a GK Fusion and two half-rack modules.

Is tghis any use to you?

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1345241243' post='1775602'] Not so much a Trace thing as a late 80s/early nineties thing. Laney (and most likely other manufacturers) were using XLRs as well, and they were pretty common for PA's at the time. Used for the same main reason as Speakons nowadays - you can't accidentally use a guitar lead. I suppose the fact that you might have been able to use a mic lead is why the Speakon took off! [/quote] Some 1960s VOX cabs used XLRs. Our guitarist had a T60 cab with one in 1965.

In theory there is nothing to stop you having a small swicth which plugs into the footswitch socket on the amp to do this. The question is where to put the switch as it is external to the amp. If the amp is rack mounted and there is sufficient space on the front face of the rack ears then it could be mounted there. If not then perhaps an external bracket using the rack-ear mounting screw holes would do. Perhaps a switch in a small box velcroed to the top of the amp. Some more information about what you have, how you use it and how you would like to use it would be helpful.

Sadly it's just another example of Google's desire to be as intrusive as possible into one's private life. I, for one, deplore it and them.

Oh dear I seem to have killed this thread.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1344417491' post='1764031'] Yes, I remember reading this too. The amp is actually capable of peaks of 900W at 4 ohms. Somewhere (maybe in the Bass Gear Magazine review?) they detailed that the impedance switch just throttles the amp back to around 500W in each position. [/quote] My reading of this would be that by running it with the switch at 8-ohms into a 4-ohm cabinet should give a lot more oomph.

As far as I can remember the switch has something to do with the input limiter of the Class D power amp, certainly nowhere near the output stage.

Never a problem, if we need to change key then we just do it. The confusion comes when someone plays in different bands who do the same song in different keys

Cab sockets, whether they be jacks or Speakons, are wired such that as you daisy-chain them the cabs are connected in parallel. i.e 8-ohm cab linked to another 8-ohm cab presents 4-ohms to the amplifier. To make the cabs be in series, e.g. 8-ohm + 8-ohm =16-ohm, then you need a special cable. The confusion occurs because physically the cable appear to link the cabs in series however electrically the internal conductors of the cable are actually connecting them in parallel.

How about a nice Schroeder 21012? A light loud and punchy single cab solution.

How about running the PC monitors from the Mon outputs of the mixer. When you want to monitor on headphones you turn the PC speakers down/off
