  1. It's one thing to split. Another altogether to recombine. There's a whole raft of stuff I wrote on this back when I was doing it, so it's all on the other side of the Atlantic centric forum. Short version. Distortions and chorus among others return the signal out of phase with what went in. This is of no consequence when pedals are in series full range. Different story when reblending an effected return with its original low end to send to the amp. At the crossover frequency they cancel one another out. It's more complicated when you run multiple pedals and some return out of phase and some do not and sometimes you have more than one running at the same time. Leaving aside the fact that some pedals are some other degree of delayed than 180°, two phase flippers in series returns an in phase signal. I had a very complicated arrangement of a bigarse blender with phase control on multiple channels so that I could always have a full lush result. Rolls sx21 crossover did the split.
  2. Put your fingers in the wrong place and they could wind up as useful as hooves.
  3. Drivers usually measure DC resistance a significant amount under the impedance rating. I don't know about almost half but it could go some way to explaining why it didn't sound right. Usually they blow fully open circuit but I guess it could short instead?
  4. This. You may even find the full TC wattage through twin cabs quite loud enough without need of MOAR POWER. Two cabs is like having 2 times the watts just for being more efficient at converting power into sound than one cab. Then you actually do get something like half as much power again out of the amp at 4 ohms, so there's an extra kick from that too. TLDR, two cabs is vastly louder than one cab when there is a small amp.
  5. Something about it screams, Burns having a nightmare.
  6. CountryMan 85 is the standard speaker level DI. Just make sure you plug it in correctly. No idiots allowed.
  7. I wonder how many dropkicks had it before it was forgotten to be the Beatle one? Maybe none and the whole "collection" is some now dead thief's stash.
  8. The lead out of the back goes to the speaker terminals. No reason to suspect it goes anywhere near the handles. If it did it would bounce off the drill. You would need a direct hit with malice to do any damage. You can see how thick the cab material is so there's no reason to drill right through it anyway. Mark drill with a wrap of tape a mm short of what it would take to go right through.
  9. How so? As a DI preamp I can't for the life of me fathom why it doesn't have pre and post loops for more fx. Otherwise, it's got a lot going on that covers a whole lot of ground, including the famed SMX dual band compressor. I appreciate you are already covered for compression, just curious how it got written off.
  10. Pretty darn unlikely to hit anything for starters. If you tape your drill bit so it only gets to the other side and no more before hitting the tape you definitely won't hit anything. If your screws are only as long as the panel and handle plate are thick you can't hit anything.
  11. Tweeters tweet what the amp sends. They don't hiss for the fun of hissing.
  12. If I was Tolo I would jump on it at that price. I once accidentally on purpose put about 300w into its big brother version with the same driver. It gave me a fright. I was not expecting so much of a single 12" driver. Smaller box means less efficiency but it's supposed to be good for 800w. It's going to get louder than a loud thing if you have a decent amp. If it turns out not your cup of tea someone will take it for £395 for sure.
  13. That's not true at all. Insert Antonio Banderas meme about misunderstandings here. Everyone has to be on the same page or folks are getting the wrong end of several sticks. Most bridges have adjustable saddles. There are all kinds of arrangements but the thing in common is the saddle is the part that the string rides on. That's why it is called the saddle.
  14. It appears they may have pulled their socks up. I just tried bass guitar pro shop and not a single fish popped up. I deserted Google years ago on account of it ignoring my terms to give me advertising with slim to no relevance at all based on just some of the terms. No, am not so thick that I put extra random terms in my search requests!
  15. It's for sale. I'd like to hear it at 10 20 30% OD pretty please!
  16. You might find a used Trace SMX compressor pedal for £100. Can't get any simpler for having three knobs. One for highs one for lows and the EQ balancer. Subtle as a subtle thing until you crank on it and then you know what you did wrong. Dood does a really good demo of the one in his TransitB which gives you a good idea what it is about. You could do worse than a couple of pedals gone byebye and go with the TransitB. Unity gain distortion is the holy grail. Never go for the overdrive and blow out the room again. They seem to be going around the £200 mark. Friggen bargain.
  17. Bits that the strings ride on = saddles. Geddit? Instead of two bum cheek indents they have one.
  18. I am pretty sure it is quite a bit louder than what you think it is. The real unknown here is how loud you actually need. There's a reason they make a 212 version. And a bigger version. And a smaller version. And a bunch of.other cabs. Not all rock bands are created equal. It's not going to replace a 810 fridge. It might well replace a 410 if you aren't quite so rock that you cruise around with one of those and not a fridge.
  19. Nowhere. It's the same old heft with added lightness.
  20. Most amps will do hifi = what goes in comes out louder. You go in the fx return. Whether you like it or not is then up to you. GK far from uncoloured but can be EQ'd flat. If you are in the habit of turning down the lows and the highs and boosting the low and high mids with the contour off then you are potentially liking hifi.
  21. Quilter 800 series are hifi unless you raise the input gain past a certain point. You can get loud and stay hifi by only raising the master output. EQ knobs noon is no EQ.
  22. Sounds like you were ambushed into accompanying the leftover muppets who hadn't had a go yet. You need to develop some 'authority' about your output that better players will tag you to play with them more often. That's basically how I progressed while not owning a stage amp until I got offered a gig and had to go buy one smartly.
  23. I hope the drum scaffold gets moved as a unit into a van of the appropriate volume. Suspect not and they all get put into cases and it all has to be tetrised in a particular sequence. I used to play with a demon drummer who could have all his gear set to move before I had unplugged my cabinet. Freakish ability to get gone.
