    Phil, I think that unit is a line level box not speaker level. I couldn't see any reference to speaker connections.

    I haven't used a pick since the Sixties! Using my fingers seems so much more organic.

    The lesson to be learned is don't look at what you don't want to see!! LOL

    WOW! We've had a Pandemic since the next from last post!! LOL Edit: I hope everyone is keeping safe. My brothers tell me how bad it's been.
  5. BassmanPaul
    Well good luck with that then. I hope you get the amp fixed.

    Sorry to disagree but the typical 4x10 will put out more lows that a typical 1x15. The larger cone is meaningless as it's mostly other characteristics that lead to lows.

    I know you have dismissed a B15 but if you can get your hands on one they are worth every penny. They make practice time a pleasure and not somewhat of a chore.

    I too remember the name but that's as far as my memory goes, sorry.

    My preferred speaker system is a pair of 2x10s, Acme B2, stacked on their ends on top of each other for a vertical 4x10. The dispersion out in the room is far better that way than any other arrangement! With one cabinet the same applies. If you think that adding a 15 will add more lows it's not always the case.

    Just to make it clear you can connect two of your specified speaker cabinets to your amp safely.

    My first question would be what experience do you have servicing solid state electronics. Just 'cos you've owned the amp for ages doesn't mean that you can play fast and loose inside the amp. in general doing so just causes more damage than already exists. Do you even have a clue what to look for?

    For a start we are locked down!

    Swine!!!! I so want one of those amps! Enjoy!

    It's kinda normal for a fan cooled amp to need it's cooling path cleaned out. Anyone who does this task should wear a mask as you don't know what crud the amp has sucked in over the years. Masks should be easy to find at the present time - unfortunately!!

    A choke is the most likely explanation. For US models they would typically use a different power transformer or one with taps to suit the local mains voltage.

    Two weeks later, what news?

    I find it ironic that folk are looking for distorted sounds. We, of a 'certain' age, would have given a left nut to be able to hear our basses cleanly and without distortion. Distortion was pretty much all we could get!!! LOL

    If Bill says it's so you can take that to the bank!

    A 4x10 would be lighter than two of the 1x15s. Add to that the 4x10 might open the door to new delights as yet unknown.

    The worst huh? OK The power amp will fail if the load is too low. In that failure the amp outputs one of it's rails which blows all of the drivers in the attached cabinets.
  21. BassmanPaul
    Just as an aside, the pairing of a 1x15 and a 4X10 is horrible. The 1x15 has no chance of keeping up with a 4x10. If you're thinking that the 1x15 will add lows you couldn't be more wrong as the typical 4x10 will put out more!
  22. BassmanPaul
    if the internal wiring has been chopped I hope that the drivers you have are the actual drivers the cabinet came with. Personally I'd return the unit to where you bought it for repair.
  23. BassmanPaul
    Depends on what the impact has done to the alignment of the driver magnets.
  24. BassmanPaul
    There are some helpful hints you can get to aid in the build so don't be afraid to ask. Good luck - you may well need it. I built my first amp, for a record player, when I was about twelve. It did work too!.
  25. BassmanPaul
    If you are using good quality SpeakOn cables hey'll be more than capable of carrying the full output from the amp. They''ll be reliable as well. It's funny but I read so many folk with fears about their speaker cable breaking. In my sixty plus years playing on stage I've never lost a single one!
