I own an EA micro head and an Aguilar DB112NT 1x12 cab which I use for smaller gigs and recordings and sessions when I don't need my full rig.
Today I was doing some recording in the studio and I noticed that on the E string the lower notes were starting to break up and distort - the preamp was not clipping. I tried different basses, different levels of volume and it still happened. I then put an EBS multicomp infront of it and that helped with it - the more the compression the less the distortion.
I've played the EA head through my Orange 8x10 and it is fine and I have used my Orange AD200B through the Aguilar when re-amping some bass lines and that was also fine.
Do you think it possible that there is some sort of mismatch between the cab and the head. The power handling and ohms is fine but maybe the aguilar cab isn't efficient enough for the EA head or the way the head is Voiced?
I have seen people comment about the amount of low end these heads have but the head was set flat.. so I'm altogether sure what is causing it.
Anyone any Ideas!?
