bobbytodd Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 matches and petrol. if the head has to go down to 2ohms then your choice is limited to a few heads i used to use the mbc 410 with a peavey max450 and it didnt sound that bad when the cab worked that is.the peavey max head could run at 2ohms all day without any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 That will be a difficult one - not too many amp heads that I know of at 2 ohms. Having had the MB 450H, with the MB410 cab (and MB115), it could be worth a change of cabs, to a better/more efficient cab. I went from the MB410 to a Marshall VBC412, and the difference was quite amazing. The VBC on its own out-performed the MB410 and MB115. Used to have the amp on 4/5 with the two cabs, with the VBC, amp was on 3. And the sound was much fuller as well as louder. I think you`d notice far more results with a change of cab than amp, plus, it will be easier too, due to the 2 ohm thing. Get a lighter cab, to reduce the weight issues there, with high db sensitivity, and that MB450 really shines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 A lot of Peaveys go down to 2 Ohms. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I believe EBS heads also run at 2Ω. Why not sell the cabs as well (sell the lot as a full rig) & then you can get 8Ω cabs to go with whatever head you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
