  1. Time to look for bigger venue?
  2. Very. 4x10 beams the tone while swamping the stage with lows. A vertical stack of tens beams only a tiny bit so you get a much better monitor. Same for most of the room when your PA is for vocals in a bar situation.
  3. If you haven't played with a vertical stack before you really should find a way to try it. Ime it was a revelation.
  4. That's the 64000 dollar question. Should you? I vote speak softly but carry the big stick. The only necessity is to be able to keep up with your drummer. Then a vocal PA has to keep up with you, or you have to dial it back. It sounds like the main use you would get from a second cab is outdoors. A vertical stack is very nice for monitoring too. Mind out you don't inspire an arms race with your skinny stringers.
  5. Drummer counted off double time. Hotshot trumpet players played the intro thing double time. So singer comes in like a card carrying member of The Chipmunks. I wanted to put down the bass and go get a beer. That would have brought it to a swift halt and what I should have done. Instead I did my best to double time it and drag it back to regular time. Only about 25% effective. After that the drummer got a tablet app with the set programmed so it could never happen again.
  6. How is a quantum computer any different from what we use today aside from being faster?
  7. That's pretty much the same price at .81GBP to 1USD.
  8. Taking both of you at face value we get down to 12.8 ÷ some round number less than 10 = some round number of years and change. So when computers get some hundreds of times faster again we will be down to days, hours...or we could be there already if the Wiki is out of date by eighteen months.
  9. True, well, almost nobody. And the few that do will generally be quite happy handing it back at 1st opportunity.
  10. How do the dirtbags get hold of people's accounts?
  11. All else equal isn't a bad assumption when it's the same company's cab so I would be quite confident the 212 has a significant extra kick to it.
  12. Is that the G.I.V.E aka Gate Induced Valve Effect? The other people who properly messed with the power stage sold out to Fender. GenzBenz Streamliner. I haven't heard if the new Genzler or Fender stuff carries the tech forward. It would be a shame if Fender own it but buried it.
  13. I did a gig with one that needed both low volume clean and unclean with a little more volume. A bit of checking found 9 o'clock on the gain stayed clean with normal dig in and dirtied up while digging in and a little nudge up on the master gave the extra volume. I can't recall what the clean and 'rowdy' master positions were but safe to say it wasn't a rowdy gig so nowhere near maxed out and probably less than noon. Great to have a drummer that does energetic with a light touch so you can do rowdy numbers in polite company.
  14. One fine day I must get some recording done so I can challenge the class A/B fans to pick them from my tube and class D amps.
  15. I used to play with a guy who used a home made one with his tiny Orange on the 7w setting. LAF it could be but he had it under control so as not to be the loudest thing in the room. Drummer had a volume knob and I was only needing 210 cab and a handful of watts to push all the talkers all the way the back while the boogie folk boogied. Happy days.
  16. So you changed string gauges to get all this extra tension? Why tune using the harmonics? Because you can. Because it's relatively quiet. Because the high pitches are easy to make out. But mostly because you forgot your tuner so you snag the guitarist's G and carry on.
  17. I guess that makes sense and reminds me why I never became an electrician.
  18. In NZ the max on any device with a standard 3 pin plug is 10A I think. High current stuff needs its own outlet with a different plug.
  19. Dunno. I expect they do these days but must be enough dodgy 19th century wiring around still that they persist in fusing the plugs on IEC leads? Why else?
  20. Only one that I saw. Try using shorter sentences. That makes it harder to mix things up. Using more paragraphs also helps.
  21. I thought music shops et al sell lemon scented petroleum product? Real lemon oil I could get behind.
  22. Big little typo there Red.
  23. Everywhere else in the world fuses the house wiring so plug fuses are not required. Your amp will fine with anything that can plug into it that is rated to supply its needs. 60w is not a lot. Current blows fuses not voltage. Since the amp is destined for 220 to 240 v supply it should have the correct fuse already in it.
  24. My guitar players have all used little combos turned right down with pedals and mic'd. Easy to do if the stage volume is under control. If your band has the whole band monitor thing going on all you need it a mic and a stool to put the litte box combo on so you get a good earful.
  25. Just trying and failing to be funny I assume. The combo would naturally be under the extension speaker. So Always lower than when set on top. Substitute 'setting' for 'position' and carry on.
