| | | Got the Little Bastard home and opened her up. The rattle was from two of the preamp tube shields. They had popped off and were rolling around causing the rattle. 
Didn't realize there were 3 preamp tubes, thought it only had two. Plugged her in and everything works.  Seems a little weird not having a gain knob. But this amp can produce a nice variety of tones and can get real dirty.

The amp also has the (I think) passive EQ, turn all EQ knobs to off position & no gain/volume at all.

Here's how it looks set up with the mini rig cabinets: 
The speakers in the cabs are 16 ohm with only one 1/4" jack, so I am going to have to add a second jack to the top cab so that I can run them together into the 8 ohm speaker jack. Tonight, I just used a single cab & kept the volume down... It is a great sounding amp.

The 1x10" cabinets are from Ashdown's Perfect Ten Mini Rig (no longer in production). I have an extra pair if anyone is interested in them.

I got mine in today. I'll hopefully get to open it up over the weekend.
The tone is awesome. And loud. Not crazed rock drummer loud, but loud enough that with a couple of 112's, I'm thinking it will cover most of the indoor gigs with my acoustic three-piece. I can't turn it up loud enough to break up in the house tonight for fear of the neighbors. During the day Saturday I'll crank it.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
