Ok, thanks for the advice guys, did some thinking and will probably start saving the pennys for a good 2x10 or 1x15 combo with plenty of watts to play with (to replace the Sessionette), so I can plug my Behringer cab in. Superb thread, some good info here.

Hmm, interesting points, bit of a loss and a gain then. In theory, it would be great to use the 4x10 speakers in the sessionette as it's own cab without the amp (assuming they will take the Mag 600), however i'm not sure how easy it would be to implement that. Perhaps a cheap used Behringer BB115 to compliment the BB210 would work well? Mr.Foxen - Could you describe a bit more what you mean by running the ashdown into the sessionette? Would running the ashdown head into the sessionette amp work? I.e. are you saying it just takes the signal and then lets the sessionette run as loud as i've set it, so it works independantly from the Behringer, which will be taking it's signal and power from the Ashdown? Cheapest option is the best atm

I've been reading through all these posts for a while now and think I understand it (just), but would like to post my proposed setup to double check I haven't missed something. Basically, I currently run a Sessionette 100watt combo (4x10) with a 2x10 Behringer Ultrabass BB210 cab. The cab is rated 600watts @ 8ohms. The Sessionette has an 8ohm port for the cab on the back. However, as the Sessionette is only 100watts, it starts to show signs of weakness when the volumes are all cranked up (which is almost all the time to keep up with the rest of the band). So, am I right in thinking, I will be ok running for example an Ashdown MAG 600H EVO II Head, with the Behringer Cab. The ashdown is 575watts RMS at 4ohms, and the cab is 600watts and 8ohms. Additionally, is it possible that I could get more volume running the Behringer cab with a higher wattage head than running the Sessionette 100 to it's limit (curent setup). Would it be possible to easily cause damage with this setup or do I have the wrong end of the stick? Thanks Roob

No reply yet, but if he has any spare knobs he can pop in the post that would be great!

Luckily I was able to find a direct replacement at Maplins. Although, when I looked at the circuit diagrams from the Session website, and it showed a 10k lin pot, whereas the one I removed was a 2M2, or something. Bought both and installed the 2M2, and it worked fine. Just need to pick up a knob and cap to put on the rotary stalk bit now, would be nice to get an original to match the other 2, but not sure how likely that is. Thanks for the help everyone!

Currently, we have no name, still working on that one Hopefully you will see us supporting a much better band sometime soon!

A valid point, I have just sent them an email, will see what they can do for me.

Yes it is. I got it when I started playing. It's been absolutely brilliant in that time. I've had it serviced once as it started sqeaking and making funny noises after a couple of years, and managed to break a volume knob off the other day, but good apart from that. Being only 100W though, I am looking to pickup another 2x10 to add for a bit more oomph when playing live, I used to do alot of pop which didn't require as much volume...whereas now I am battling with the drummer .

Ah, excellent. Yes, I have a couple of soldering irons kicking about, used to do alot of soldering. Never soldering anything quite like this though, so thought I best check before I make it worse Thanks for the links, might pop into maplin store and pickup a couple and some spares if possible. Provided they have them, they always seem to be missing what I need when I go in store :|.

Alas, it's black with a few battle scars, got a nice chunk taken out of the neck when the strap popped off .

Hi there, I was contemplating how to get more power with my current Sessionette 100 combo, so was going to pickup a used Ashdown MAG 2x10 or something similar, however, upon going to my amp to check the ohms rating etc, I found this... [url="http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2058671560104651961QQOIXW"][/url] So before I get to buy any new kit, I need to find out what i can do about the old kit. The knob has clean broken off, and I've no idea where I might find a replacement, any ideas? It was built in April 1985, so I suppose it's about time something broke off This is the underside of the knob...
