thebrig Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1130024' date='Feb 16 2011, 06:28 PM']Just a quick word of caution although I doubt it's the problem in this case , The cheap speakon to speakon lead I got with mine melted at the first gig! A proper one from OBBM soon sorted it a thankfully the band I was playing with used speakons for the PA so I had a 20 metre speaker lead for 2" but it saved the day. The cheap one was a copy speakon and the cable far too thin for 600watts and the presumably already slightly loose connection just got warmer until letting go altogether. Give yours a good wiggle and that goes for all Shuttle owners [/quote] My Shuttle 6.0 is the 12T combo version, so the cable is hard wired inside the cab, and then through the top of the cab, which has the cradle attached, and you you then connect the speakon connector to the head. Surely GB don't supply a cheap connecting cable on a combo costing a grand, do they? If that's the case, I might have to open the cab and replace it. Mind you, the speakon cable on mine is a real chunky affair, and looks like it should do the job OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Sounds ok on the combo then. I have a separate 6.0 head and a Genz 4ohm Neox 2x12T I'm not sure who supplies the lead in this case? Mine was from BassDirect and Mark may of just thrown the lead in as a bonus because I had the £1299 deal all in including the manbag for the head and leads. (over £1600 if bought separately) Soon sorted with one of OBBM's super chunky affairs though.

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 His cables are ace! As cheap as making them yourself with Maplins bits and his cable is better. Super dooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSCOWBASS Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I got "frying" noise from my 2 month old Shuttle 9 today when I switched it on.(mute still on). Went away on re power but worrying. I swapped the tube with the spare I had bought "just in case" and cleaned the valve base with servisol 10. It's OK now, but how many people are having "valve" issues?

JTUK Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Good to see that this may have been resolved although I'd prefer to know what had been fixed ideally or what it actually was. I was going to suggest the output trans may have issues but I'd be seeing if I could borrow a spare amp just in case. Definitely invest in decent leads...preferable studio quality cable that is garaunteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
