[quote name='Beedster' post='460611' date='Apr 12 2009, 03:39 PM']Oh, and in answer to your original question, my Markbass 6x10 was smaller and lighter than my Hughes and Kettner 4x10[/quote] what amp where you running that with? why make it 6 ohms? is it bad to run an amp between an ohm setting? im getting a price on a new ampeg 610 on tues? fingers crossed it about 750-800, with atleast a 300 quid part ex on my orange cab i should only have to put down 500 towards it? andy

ive played a vba400 and loved it! the tone was wicked, and the eq really useful. ive had an orange ad140b and it was awesome, played a 200b and it was just amazing! i prefer the ad to the vba. ive never tried the svt pro 2, my pro 6 has a valve pre, and has 4 driver tubes, i love it gives the exact tone that i want! but someday i do hope to get my hands on a vintage svt all valve head. ive also played thru a trace v4 head and 4x12 cab b4 i had my rig sorted thats at our drummers house! no that is a sweet sounding amp def recommend that if you can find one, i think u can get v6's and v8's to? but the only thing with valve amps is they weight a tone, particually the vba!

[quote name='Protium' post='460559' date='Apr 12 2009, 02:10 PM']The reason for the impedance is the restriction of speaker values- 4ohm, 8ohm, 16ohm etc. The 5.33 ohm impedance is due to 3 pairs of 8ohm speakers wired in parallel, just treat it as you would a 4ohm cab [/quote] really, god damn i just got my head round the whole ohms thing! haha oh well they to pricey anyway 2 talking nearly 1400 i think for a h n k 610?

weight wise it doesn't seem there alot in it like 20 pounds? the ampeg takes 600w not sure of other 610 makers? i know h n k do one but that far to pricey! and has a weird ohms thing 5/3 ohms?! im looking into gettin a coulpe of 410's at the mo, but am wondering if this maybe a better way to go? my band plays small bars, to large clubs, i have seen bands in these places use 810's b4, which i thought was overkill. anyone got a 610 that they could give me an idea of how big it is? andy

right i have a new plan as there really is not a rackmount effects unit that i can find in my price range. what im gonna do is this probably, get this [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thon_rackschublade_2he.htm?sid=cfea37d4850d4f9751bd88d5d09f8bae"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/thon_rackschublad...1bd88d5d09f8bae[/url] then use it to house any pedals i dnt want out front like these an md-2,tu-2 and a ceb-3 then i have a lead coming out the back which i can take into my wah wah, and plug my bass into the wah. and i only have 2 plugs out the bk as i will put a power supply in the drawer to run the pedals. sound like an idea? just got the md-2 for 40 quid of the bay :-) and know got the ceb-3 for 40 quid 2! andy

[quote name='DHA' post='459230' date='Apr 10 2009, 12:54 PM']all the footswitch controls also have a front panel switch and led so it can be used without the footswitch. All my racks do this. Dave[/quote] i just had a listen to the sound clips on the site, and they sound nice but, again lean more towards the overdrive sound. ive looked at pedal swtichers, using the md-2 boss pedal as thru bass it sound sweet but it another pedal, and mounting it in my rack is maybe an option but not sure i have enough room in my rack. andy

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='457969' date='Apr 8 2009, 11:36 PM']How you gonna turn it on and off without a pedal?[/quote] i was hoping to find something that i could turn on and of from the front panel if not the foot switch is no big deal, just trying to limit if it possible. andy

hi guys, im looking for a full on distortion rackmount unit, ive looked into sansamps but they appear to be more directed at overdrive tone. anyone know the best way to go? tring to cut down on the number of pedals i have? i only want my wah and tuner out front. i have to spaces left not looking for a multi effect like a pod as there effects there that i will never use, i have considered a voodoo labs pedal swtiching system but this is a bit £££ plus its a bit tight to fit in my 4u rack with my pro-6. any suggestions? andy

[quote name='Chelios' post='455197' date='Apr 6 2009, 10:08 AM']Im looking to go after one of these, and i am after some info, Do any of your lovely guys own one, are they any good? Looking to go from my xtreme 5.1 to this.. Chelios[/quote] i have one and love it! i moved on from an orange ad140b, so that should give u some idea of how good i think the tone is! one thing i have noticed, it runs louder when at 4 ohms? dnt know why? the compressor that its got built in, is good, the eq is easy to understand and work, plus the tube voltage gives a cool edge to the sound. i wouldnt sell mine for anything! part maybe a vintage svt? if you've got q's ask away and i try and answer. andy

i long for the day when i can by a fridge! but for know a 4x10 will do

[quote name='Kaiu' post='449818' date='Mar 30 2009, 07:36 PM']Yes. Here are a couple (these are the only ones on my computer at the moment. I'm not at home until a week today, so I won't be able to take more details pictures until then) Ed[/quote] wicked mate that looks sick! any reason why you changed the tweeters? andy

[quote name='Kaiu' post='449786' date='Mar 30 2009, 07:05 PM']Ok will do, might take a day or so to get them. Ed[/quote] thats k man no woz. im guessing they both 8 ohms? andy

[quote name='Kaiu' post='449089' date='Mar 29 2009, 11:28 PM']I have two Aguilar GS410's. [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_cabinets_gs410.htm"]http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_cabinets_gs410.htm[/url] They sell for £750 at the bass Gallery. [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/index2.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/index2.html[/url] They work perfectly, and I transport them around in their original boxes with holes cut to allow access to the handles. (I have also replaced both tweeters, as I have owned them for quite while, probably about two years.). I no longer use them as I have bought an Ampeg 8x10. I'd be quite happy to let you have them both for £500 (that's £250 each!). I'm based in York. I can send/post pictures if you're interested. Ed[/quote] hell yeh! pm me some pics bud. im really intrested!

hi guys, im gonna be getting a 410 to replace my orange 115 later next month. thing is i was gonna go straight for the ampeg 410, but there's something spinning me out! they are all 4 ohms at which my amp throws out 1100w which is a bit more than the 600w it meant to take? im also looking in gk, orange and hughes and kettner( this one looks good due to it taking 900w and it 8 ohm) im gonna use my 115 as part ex they've offered me about £300 for it, and then im willing to add bout another £300 on top of that. but when i look at the cabs rms they are all below what my amp puts out i know it wnt do this all the time ( ie put out 750w at 8 ohms ) but i dnt wanna get an under powered cab HELP! im looking for an 8 ohm cab so i can add a second later andy
