I always think your tempting fate by not taking a back up. I've never needed to use mine but I always have that peace of mind knowing its there just in case.

Bought a Boss OB-3 Overdrive pedal off Russ. Super quick to reply and kept me updated all the time. We had a slight problem with the courier (no fault of Russ I may add) and fair play he did as much as he could to chase it up when I mentioned it didn't arrive the day it was expected too. Cant fault the guy would deal again with 100% confidence! Nice one Russ!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1376036974' post='2168769'] So much depends on the amp you use and the settings you dial into it. Turn up the "bass" control and most cabs will struggle to provide you with much useful volume. You will also muddy up the overall sound and have problems hearing yourself. Reduce the bass and add more in the midrange and you will be able to go "louder". You will also be more audible and probably fit in better with your band's mix! That said - Behringer gear is not exactly what you might call "top-end". It can do a job if you don't ask too much of it, but if you want a cabinet (or more than one) that can handle high volume and give you a decent sound - you will almost certainly need to upgrade to something better (and, sadly, more expensive). Such is life. [/quote] Yea I mean I had band practice yesterday so it got to put it through its paces and I got to say it stood up very well and sounded pretty excellent, everyone commented on it and said I sounded better using the Behringer cab rather than the Peavey Combo which I have been using prior. At first it took a bit of messing about with the settings on the head but I done what you said, turned the bass down a bit and boosted the Mids and it gave me a very distinctive sound which cut through and fitted in nicely with what we are doing. The cab actually performed pretty well, the upgraded Celestion speakers made it sound much better than the original aluminium ones, coped very well when used under pressure. Im sure that after a while I will want to venture into trying new cabs but for now this will do me nicely.

Thought I would give this thread a bit of a revival. Im buying the RedSub BLM-2 Compressor from a mate for a tenner tomorrow, thought it would be worth a short for only £10. I will be using it at band practice tomorrow too so I will do a little review on it after, see whats what when put through its paces.

Wow just when I thought I was starting to get my head around all this turns out I still know nothing! Is there a dummies guide to amps and cabs? It would be very useful indeed. So really the only way to know without going down that long winded route will be just test different heads through it and see what it can cope with?

I have a Behringer BA410 cab, its rated at 1000 Watts but as many reviews have stated this cab cant do anything near that, I assume its the speakers in the cab which determine what power it can churn out? My cab has been upgraded by the previous owner with 4 10 inch Celestion speakers rated at 250 watts each, first question is does this mean the cab is still 1000 Watts? My second question is with these new speakers would the cab be more true to its 1000 Watt description?
