Search Results for ‘ohm load’

I'm considering getting an extension cabinet for my combo amp. The manual says "minimum total impedance is 16 ohms". Most cabs I'm looking at online are rated at 8 ohms. The native amp speaker is 16 ohms. So, does that mean I can add a cabinet that is 8 ohms or does the cab have to be 16 or...

Well, I have been searching for the answer to this question for a few days now. I looked through many of the threads already posted and searched but I couldn't find the answer here. So, sorry If this question has already been asked. I saw on this guitargeek website that steve vai basically uses...

Any suggestions to get Eddies Sound? what pickups?

Probably addressed once upon a time, but here's my scenario: I just got a crate powerblock that I'm going to use for my POD into a 212 cab. The powerblock requires 8ohms, and I haven't picked up speakers for my cab yet. Which would be better, 2 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel or 2 16 ohm...

Hey guys I must say this has made my tone much better. The crate gx1200h is a piece of crap but it isn't that bad if you work with the knobs a bit. A lot of people say "oh crate... garbage" but i'd say its got a better distortion "grain" or whatever you might call it than most other cheap amps...

Just wondering what the "slave out" on my amp is for? I realize I can send this output to another amp, but just wondering why I would want to do this? Does this give you more power or a different sound? Thx Kev

Ok guys I have a boss gt-pro for my tone right now, i'm running through a solid state studio amp (yamaha A100a) I was wondering if i should get a jsx or a legacy head amp. Also i have a mesa single 12in so i figure I don't need a cab. I've heard great things from the legacy but I've heard if you...

I have a Carvin SX200 and I'm looking to put different speakers in it... They sound good on the clean channel, but when I play distortion, it makes a crackling sound... any one have a good suggestion? Thanks, Shane

hi, all. a simple question here, when connecting speakers in series or parallel does it change the actual tone or sound of the speakers/amp? or is it just simply of the Ohms sake? cheers mike

if i bought the combo legacy could i later add on an extension cabinet to make it a half or full stack?

My amp has a selector for 4,8,16 ohm settings for different cabs. I use a old 2x12 hughes & kettner(atax) cab, running at 4 ohms.My question is, if I had that same cab and it was runnung at 8 ohms, would that change the tone of the amp?? I always wondered if running the output transformer at...

I will be picking up a Johnson JM250 half-stack tomorrow. Now, I'm pretty sure that the 4X12 cab is 4 ohm. I also want to use the cab to run two other heads I have (at different times of course). One of the heads is a Carvin X100B, and fortunately, that has a switch that you can set to 4 ohm (so...

I get my JSX head for Xmas and I was wondering what do the ohms switches do? The head can either be 4,8, or 16 ohms mono, or 8 stereo or something. It says when it does this the tubes go to 6l6's or something. Does this mean if i lower the ohms the amp runs at a lower wattage ?

The rythm guitar player in my band just bought a really nice new amp. It's a Traynor Custom Valve 50BLUE - 50w / 12 inch - All Tube amp. http://www.yorkville.com/products.asp?type=32&cat=18&id=318 I have an old super reverb and it is 45 watts at 2 ohms. 4 x 10" 8 ohm speakers comes out at...

what's up guys...i have a question. i recently formed a band again after 6 years of doing nothing. anyway, i have a speaker cab and thinking about getting a 2nd one. i don't know much about the impedence, etc etc. and i'm not an electrician. anyway, will it be a huge difference with 2...

I was wondering if anyone would know what to do with a Marshall 1960B 4x12 16 ohm cabinet to bring the ohm rating down. I am running a Behringer LX1200 which is [email protected] ohms into that cabinet. I'm not getting the volume I want due to the high cabinet ohms. Anyone know how to rewire or have...

Okay, this could be a relatively easy electrical question, but I'm not about to blow an amp or a speaker based upon my complete lack of electrical knowledge. I've got a 2x12 cabinet with two 16 ohm speakers wired in parallel, making an 8 ohm cab. There are 2 speaker jacks on the back, connected...

I had the chance to play the Spider II today and the thing just screamed. I loved the lead tone I got out of it, and the clean tone was good, but lacked just a little aroma. I know a lot of people here judge tone from Vai and Satch, but this Spider II really kicked booty. I love the...

I've been running a rack system for a while now, but I have been pondering the idea of going back to a head. However, I want the best of both worlds. The AVT150H & the Spider II HD heads look appealing because they both have 4 channels, 150W, & a solid stage power section (which I prefer)...

ill soon be building an extension cab for my peavey special 212 amp. So im wondering what is better for me 2 10" speakers or 2 12"? wich one sounds better? :?: i use this guitars.(ibanez universe uv777bk, ibanez rg570(with evolution in bridge), parker p38) thru this effects: bad horsie wah...
