I'm curious what the consensus is on the Scumback Greenback Variants. Apparently there is an option for different power handling ratings. I would be particularly interested in mixing Scumbacks and V30's together.
Okay, I think I just answered my own question. For those curious, 4FB is could designate either a rectifier or stiletto cabinet. If you look at the price list, the model number 4FB is shown besides both types of cabinets. After taking measurements, my cabinet is apparently a stilleto cabinet.
What is a 4FB? Unfortunately, the forum does not allow a search on this-too few characters. Anyhow, I am aware that the Stilleto cabs were once the rectifier traditional cabs. I wonder how the 4FB, roughly being the same size as the Stilleto cabs, fits into this lineage. Is it a predecessor...
The problem is that I've got an eq (for solo boosts) as the last rack effect in the signal path. It has an input knob, but no output knob. Maybe I shouldn't concern myself so much with what the led is doing, but it seems like it should at least go to the unity symbol and not with the -10...
not sure, I think it's closed like a Thiele. You might also consider one of the older halfback 2x12's. They come up used every once in a while. All you would need is to rewire it to run mono or stereo (if that's important to you.)
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if any of you have had a similar problem. I am running from the studio pre to my rack to the 2:90. The problem is that the volume is insanely loud (over-powering a drum set) with the power amp turned to about 1/2 out of 10. Meanwhile, the rack effects are not...
I love this pedal on the gain channels of the IIC+ and Recto and on clean channels for every amp I've tried. It adds a sort of natural sounding compression that gives more sustain and body to clean sounds, and it is transparent on high gain sounds, in essence a slight amount of saturation that...
The Maxon OD808 does wonders for my Lone Star, but doesn't really work the same with the IIc+ or my DR. I have gotten better results on those with the Xotic RC Booster. (I am also tempted to try the EP Booster.)
I hear people classifying their power amp as an older or newer 2:ninety, but I don't know what that means. Can someone be kind enough to explain if there are any differences? (I was unsuccessful with the search function.)
R-0514 to R-0627 are Revision E's. Great amps but still haven't been able to compare them to a Rev C or D. At the time, they were the first and last known Revision E's, but I think there has been another found (maybe 629?)
Okay, I'm gathering that (A) is a bad idea regardless.
If I go for alternative (B) what would be the effect. Let me give you a couple of other parameters. The 16-ohm load is a 4x12" 300-watt rated cabinet. The 8-ohm load is a 2x12" 140-watt rated cabinet. I want to put a mic on the 2x12"...
I've got an older Dual with the designation on the speaker outputs "8-16 , 8-16 , 4 , 4"
Are the jacks that say 8-16 parallel jacks with each other or with the 4-ohm jacks? or do they function as independent speaker outputs?
I've got an 8-ohm cab and a 16-ohm cab, so I know that I could go out...
Personally, I don't have a problem with the clean channel on my Rev. E. It's not quite like my Lonestar (or the IIc+ for that matter), but there are plenty of good usable tones. I would like to try it against a Rev. C or D to compare, because I think everybody buys into the argument that the...
I've got a couple of Rev. E's and I couldn't get a lead boost out of the thing using the parallel effects loop. Do I need to have the effects loop modded to series to be able to do this?
Be careful with the BBE! They do a decent job of emulating the low thump of a loud closed-back cabinet at bedroom levels, but in the context of a band mix at band volume, they might not add anything desirable and can easily ruin the mix.
I would much rather date a Mark III. Mark IIc+'s are much higher maintenance, because they've gotten used to guys doting on them and throwing their money around. They have started believing their own hype. Give me a Mark III with a good personality!
Well, I tried the tubescreamer, and I didn't really care for it. I might still use it on the clean channel to give it a third bluesy crunch channel, but IMO the lead channel really doesn't need anything, except to be dialed in on its own.
