4 8 ohms can = 8 ohms

16s can do 16 ohm cabs (if you are doing two and want your final load to be 8 ohms)

or 4 ohms if youre going for that final load for more sesitivity.

dont ask me where I thought you said you wanted a 4 ohm final load. readingfail on my part. I think I figured that cause i might be pickin up a marshall cab and tossin in 4 16 ohm ****ers for a 4 ohm final load. I was too busy thinkin about myself

What would be a cool name for a pedal, with this image as decal?

So far I have:
"Weed Deer"
"Don't feed the deer"
"Pity Humans"
"Imma Deer, ur high"
"Deersmerker"*
"Stoner Bambi"

*last thread hint

what kind of pedal?

Yes four 8 Ohm speakers nets a 8 or 2 Ohm cab.

If you dont mind the weight I recommend looking at these:

Delta 12LFC ~ $85

If you wanted to go lighter these would kill:

12PR300

The nice thing about the faital pro's is you could run four 16 Ohm speakers in parallel and get to 4 Ohms.

How about Buckshot for the deer pedal?

Don't see Matamp + Orange on craigslist every day... http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/msg/3542165185.html

I've seen that head around (eBay I think) It's been screwed with quite a bit. (Changed knobs, Missing stuff on the back panel, Bias points I think, etc) I think it sold somewhere around $2K on eBay.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Well that's unfortunate.

Can't remember if this was posted here yet, but I've been rocking out to this: http://utah.bandcamp.com/

I'll take them for sure. Pm coming your way.

How does a cab's ohm rating affect sensitivity? I thought ohms was just electrical resistance. Just something you use to not over tax an amplifier. I know how to match ohms between cabs and heads but don't get how it affects tone.

I was considering the delta 12LFC. Why you like it more than the delta pro 12a?

[TheAngryPocket]

You seem to like double cut guitars, Laz? Didn't know if this does anything for ya? (crappy cell pic). I know it's not an EGC, or some big name's axe, but it kills for me. Sorry, but you can see where dad put his "love" for SRV into it. Hope you enjoy.

[eyeballkid]

as a feedback looper I like "don't feed the deer".
"buckshot" is cool too.. for anything with a deer on it!!

how bout "the space invadeer" ??

salt licker

+1 on reign deer in a slayer font!

[Lazarus.Bird]

"The Salt Lick" sounds like a pretty awesome name. Deer feeder is good too!

And yeah Pocket, that guitar is awesome!

Not sure how many death metal fans we have here, but this is a video of a guy covering Necrophagist's Foul Body Autopsy and it is incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=uGgcAhBbLsU

Salt licker. Good one.

Reign deer, I know right? Props to the misses on that one.

Its not something I would really worry about. I guess you could have slight tonal differences in a tube amp depending on how the taps are set up on the output transformers. In a SS amp it would only matter when you are reaching the clipping point of the amp. So lets look at my PF-500. At 8 Ohms it has 350 watts. With a big 8 Ohm cab I may reach the power limits of the amp and get some SS clipping that doesnt sound great. Now if I had that same cab loaded differently and it presented a 4 Ohm load I would have 500 watts on tap. Now run less risk of hitting the clipping point on my amp. The difference being that with an 8 Ohm cab I can use two, which is ~6db increase in SPL.

As far as the impedance/power handling/sensitivity/frequency response association in the driver goes, that is all down to particular design.

[DethByDoom]

My tube amps can do either 4 or 8 ohms. If I want run it with my 810 it would have to be 4ohms so they match? Amp set to 4 ohms, and a 4ohm cab into each speaker output. Right? I think that'd be too much for my vb2 to push. Idk. I haven't run more than my 810. 810+412... Thats a lot of power. And sound.
Thanks peavey.

Didn't get much sleep at work last night so I'm goin to bed, thinking of 12" speakers and deer and ohms. Mmmm sleeeeeep.

[DeadByDawn]

Sean from White Zombie was always one of my favorites. Thumbs up to chicks who play bass.

The Eminence 12s I use are basslites (I think). I'll pull one and check the model number next time I'm at the space.

Thanks!

Yeah. I'm a fan.Cannibal Corpse to Death in the 90's. And now WhiteChapel to Suffocation.

[DeadByDawn]

Clarinet, aw yeah.
