I prefer Keith's IPA.

The top cab is certainly blocking the amps's cooling vents!

At least they weren't called the 'Dilbert' range of equipment!

Amen to that!!

That said we are more than a bit subdued with the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves on the sites of old 'Residential' schools. That's dreadful all around.

Oooo! Now you're treading on dangerous ground especially with July the first coming up!! ;D

All I see is the same old, same old stuff that manufacturers have been marketing for decades. The tone, full of distortion, is what I spent years trying to get away from! That said I do like how they actually look. Are the speakers referred to as HH the same manufacturer as the old IC100 range of amplifiers?

Boston is a great city - I've been there a few times. You'll be pleased to know I drank Coffee there and not tea! LOL

Just informational - your thread title 'What Ohm of cabinets' should read 'What Impedance cabinets'

Have you tried asking Aguilar if they can supply you?

That's OK. I'll translate for him.

@Jamie Snell a word of kindly advice if I may: @agedhorse designs amplifiers for Mesa. Before that Genz Benz. When he opines on a subject it's advisable for you to listen to what he has to say!!! He knows what he is talking about!

I believe that several of us have told you that already!!

You are correct. The 4Ω cabinet will get 450W from one channel and the 8Ω cabinet will get 280W from the other. You could also run both from one channel for 2.66Ω should you need to and leave the other channel for some other use.

Personally I doubt whether your Laney combo has a failed power transformer. I've not come across too many in my career as a tech.

Remember that this amp is not particularly powerful and therefore doesn't generate the heat of a more able amplifier.

It must be kinda like being in Paradise!

Thank you Andy for confirming my memory. LOL

If memory serves me, it HAS been a long time, the UK uses a ring main system. Each branch circuit goes from the breaker loops to the sockets and finally goes back to the breaker. Current flow goes each way from the breaker to the device plugged into the socket. The local fuse in the plug protects what is between the plug and the device.

The amp itself will have a suitably sized fuse to protect it. I can't remember what fuse values are available in the UK. You can try the 3A and if it fails the 13A will be fine.

Over here DeOxit is the standard. I use their 'Fader Lube' and it works well but you only need the smallest amount! If you have 50+ years in the business you have no doubt seen some of the ramifications of over use of contact cleaner of one sort or another. I've seen the amps of folk who have cleaned their pots by spraying down the shaft. What a mess that makes.

Enjoy!

Please do not follow this advice. More pots are ruined by the indiscriminate spraying of 'magic' spray than any other.

This was before the time of Plessey. You make me feel so old but it was more than fifty years ago!! Is the 'exceedingly bare' statue still there at the bottom of Brownlow Hill?
