  1. [quote name='Maude' timestamp='1506117372' post='3376642'] I keep seeing posts about the concerns with speaker cab ohms ratings, and although with more efficient speakers and higher powered amps this is mainly irrelevant these days it got me thinking. With the old valve amps I believe you could plug a dummy resister in to simulate having a speaker plugged in so as not to damage the amp if powering up with no cab connected. Could a variable resister to used in cabs to allow you to alter the ohms rating of a cab, allowing for greater versatility and mixing and optimal matching of cabs? Like I say, probably redundant these days with the more efficient equipment easily available but I was just wondering.

  2. Maybe you should invest in a nice speaker level DI to go with it and hopefully a midget will be loud enough for stage monitoring
  3. personally if i could only have 1 I'd have a proper mutron because they're one of the few pedals that live up to the hype. on a budget though the dod 440 / fx25b does it for me
  4. those are the two best plans you can get but if you wanna keep it simple the tl606 design is tried and tested
  5. with valve amps you can go lower but not higher, but having an impedance mismatch will mean less power. At those sorts of wattages though it's not that massive difference. So running it into 4ohm will be fine. As to speakers you'll want the most cone area possible to get maximum sensitivity. Great amps though and use some cool valves
  6. it's knackered sell the head to me. If you're not 100% concerned about originality you should be able to find a good replacement on ebay
  7. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  8. hiya, is it still about is so I'd take the other one if you'd be happy to post?
