Too bad I can only run the one cabinet (4 ohm). Stacking my other Dietz replica 2x15 on top of it would look cool \m/,

Make a series cable (bottom left on diagram). It'll put your cabs in series and the amp will see an 8ohm load using both cabs.

Danny G · April 07, 2015, 06:41:55 PM

Will that work if both cabs are 4ohm?

Jake · April 07, 2015, 06:47:55 PM

Yup. Read the notes on that graphic.

Danny G · April 07, 2015, 07:23:07 PM

I'll be darned. *puts on glasses*

RacerX · April 08, 2015, 05:01:22 PM

I thought this was pretty cool:

Most excellent/good to know!

Trying to help my friend get a show here. We've had a "soft hold" on the date at a venue since 7 weeks ago, but the fucking dipshits at the venue can't confirm the date, even though I try to check back with them regularly, and now it's a month away (May 10). Fucking goddamn idiots. There are crusty punk squats that are better organized than this "collectively run" venue.

I feel dumb.

After hearing that the Fulltone Soul Bender has to go first to sound good I decided to rearrange my pedalboard place my tuner after my dirt pedals, before my delay, and put my fuzz pedals first. The result? All my fuzz pedals sound so much better. No noise or anything. I was almost considering selling the Meathead I had bought from Corey. Now? It is going to be hard to get rid of that one.

Woohoo! We actually moved into our new rehearsal space today!

And finnish the vocal recordings as well.

Praise the lord! (Whichever feels suitable)

Lumpy · April 20, 2015, 01:25:07 AM

Reverend guitars has a Bob Balch (Fu Manchu) signature model. (I did not know that). It came out last year.

He all about the low strings bends?

Andrew Blakk · April 20, 2015, 10:07:08 AM

If I ever would but a signature guitar that could be the one! So cool!

Instant Dan · April 26, 2015, 02:52:55 PM

I have not been this happy, tone-wise, in a while. The tele has Rio Grandes in her, when the bridge is hit with OD/dirt/fuzz it turns into a pseudo P90.

I think I might sell the Mock as I am not bonding with her lately as I did at first.

Pan-O-Rama of rehearsal, finished a new song today. I'm getting pretty happy with my sound now, boosting the Pharaoh with a Dano drive, into the GH50 with 4x12 and a Trace Elliot 4x10.

Lumpy · May 12, 2015, 06:34:03 PM

Bought a couple pedals from a dude on another forum, I think the Post Office lost them. Tracking # says they were delivered on May 2. If they were delivered, it was to somebody else.

Mr. Foxen · May 12, 2015, 07:36:29 PM

Give ya neighbours a knock? Or check address he sent to wasn't some old one that Paypal decided to revert to?

Lumpy · May 12, 2015, 07:46:42 PM

I checked with the downstairs storefront already. Beyond that, it's a wild goose chase of random neighbors.

RacerX · May 14, 2015, 12:23:36 PM

The new low end PRS guitars are looking sweet:

All set necks, starting at $499 list.

liquidsmoke · June 09, 2015, 02:51:44 AM

Ha! Somebody put our band camp song on youtube 2 months ago. Now I don't have to figure out how to do it.

Danny G · June 14, 2015, 06:19:09 PM

Currently on the road with Bleu Edmondson Band. My first actual tour (more than a weekend/few days) as a guitar player since probably Southern Gun Culture in 2003. Good to be back!

First three shows in the TX panhandle went great!

Realizing I use my legs onstage more as a guitar player. Not only going for pedals but since I'm still looking at the fretboard a lot I'm headbanging less and moving around more for stage presence. They are very tired. Weird.

Also made a breakthrough in my slide playing while at the hotel yesterday. Level up!

Borrowed the DP-006 from a friend. This way we could record with 4 mics for the drums at once. It's all going into Protools anyway. Tracked drums for 4 songs today.

My pedals did arrive BTW. I saw the regular mail carrier one day, and told him the situation (a substitute was working on the day my junk went missing). The next day, the package was there on my doorstep. Magic!

How long before I blow the shit out of the Emi Legend guitar speaker I have in this amp? I'm playing bass with it and running Bass Muff too. When I went back and read this thread again, I got nervous.

I wanna keep it functional for sale or maybe use it for vocals.
