    I caught Michael and Steve playing a few years ago, and I was amazed at what i saw. I always thought Micheal was good, but live he's in another league to anyone else I've ever seen play the bass. I swear he can do the impossible !

    If you can make it you'll be in for a real treat, no matter what style you're into. Very inspirational stuff.

    Have I damaged the speakers ?

    Used have an Eden rig and the outer edges of the 10" drives would light brilliant white light on hard string plucks at times. I was told it was perfectly normal, as the horn had a 'bulb' to disipate any extra power above and beyond what the driver would handle.

    See it on gigs too, where the bass player was using Eden gear. Great effect on dark stages.

    Question is, do they still work as normal? If so I would not worry as the 'bulb' obviously did its job.

    [quote]Q: I sometimes see a light blinking on and off in my cabinet? What's that about?

    This is the tweeter limiter becoming fully engaged. We use a calibrated and modified aircraft light element as the limiter. This bulb actually goes through three distinct phases of operation. Initially, it acts as a soft-knee compressor. At higher levels it acts as a limiter. Finally it acts as a fuse which will blow to protect the tweeter from damage.

    When you see that light bulb at full brilliance, this means you're sending approximately 70 to 100 watts RMS to the tweeter - above 4kHz. This means you're probably clipping the amplifier heavily or using an excessive amount of high-frequency boost. If this light is constantly blinking, we suggest you either back off the high-frequency boost or decrease output slightly.[/quote]

    [quote name='bluesparky' post='567744' date='Aug 13 2009, 10:29 AM']When he got to the Q&A bits he said "don't ask who plays faster, Joe or Steve, and don't ask me to play the blue powder fill" which he promptly did anyway - it certainly made me chuckle...[/quote]

    Yeah he was very funny at times. At the Exeter gig a similar quote...

    "Any question? Just don't ask who plays faster, Joe or Steve..........It's yuangi anyways ! "

    Thinking about it, it does seem to happen more in the small practice room we have (12' x 10' ) than anywhere else I have tried it, so could be the room.

    This whole frequency vs room size vs cab volume vs speaker sizes, vs the always present unknown variable, is a complete mystery to me. I will see if it changes in different spaces.

    EDIT:
    Ah that may explain it too [b]Bill[/b]. Great little practice amp, just this small annoyance.

    Cheers guys :)

    Think this is on topic...

    Is this why my small 1x10 practice combo sometimes sounds like the bottom 'E' blooms, for want of a better word? Almost like it is a little flat and them resolves in a split second. (Ashdown perfect 10 - front ports) Or is that the room, or just poor design of the combo. Just curious.

    As it doesn't happen with my larger rigs.
