This is the loud rig. It’s really rather a lot better than I am:

My preamp is also my DI box, so it's the end of the chain after the FX. Same as @fretmeisterit is used as a preamp instead of the one on the amp. Or as well as, if I need to tailor the onstage sound differently from the FOH.

Good point, I don’t like that hat either

Zeppelin Symphonic tonight at the Palladium with mini Mert and a couple of friends. The Middlenight Men with The Hot Damn! in Camden on Thursday. It’s been a while, nice to be back on it.

Yep all my Ashdown amps have fans which sound like jet engines taking off. My Glockenklang has a fan so quiet you have to put your ear right up to it to hear it, even after a 3 hour rehearsal. Should be something they can sort by choosing a better fan tbh.

There’s a WT550 in the classifieds at the moment 🤓

Definitely sounds like a DI issue. Email Ashdown, they’ll sort you out

Was there any tonal difference through the DI when you switched the various sections in or out?

That’s a cool little story!

Yep. It’s a moot point either way as it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever need that much air moving, it’s a bit…. overkill 😆 But as you rightly point out there are different options should the need arise

I know, and it’s highly unlikely I’ll do it. I was just observing 😉 Switching the Two10 to 4 ohms and running with a single One10 is the most sensible solution if I need to move lots of air.

I’ve just realised I’m a donut. I can run all the cabs with the Glock in 2.67 ohm mode - just use the Two10S in 12 ohm mode rather than 4. This makes a 3 ohm total load and all the air ever will be moved. If there’s an earthquake near Gatwick soon, I’m sorry.

Yes, yes it would

If I add feet yeah - the port thingy will be firing up but can't see that being an issue...

Yep - been talking to Alex about it. It's not the easiest fix because the grille isn't symmetrical, but I'll come up with a plan somehow... 🤓

Tens; a pair of One10s and a mint Two10S I snagged from Facebook thanks to a little investigative work from @eude. The idea being that my new Glock can do 2.67ohms, so I’ll run a single One10 (8 ohms) and the Two10 in 4 ohms when I need to move that much air 😁

Ooops. Anyone for Jenga?

Barefaced cabs. No amp from them yet - still in development and of course will be interested to see what they do. Glockenklang or Ashdown amps.

…. And? 😎

Both glue and tolex were changed in 2019 AIUI

I have two One10s, one is a 2017 model with a tiny bit of peeling whilst the other is 2019 with a newer tolex and no peeling at all. I’d have no doubt about buying new at all

Latest iteration of my mini rig of doom. The Glockenklang is incredible:

Wrong way round. Your RM head can do 4 ohms minimum load, which means you could run two 8 ohm cabs or one 4 ohm. They do this again because of this common myth that “getting full power from my head” means more volume. Which goes back to Bill’s post I shared earlier Two 8 ohm 4x10s will be louder than one 4 ohm because you’re moving double the amount of air, not because you’re running the amp at its nominal minimum impedance.
