I recently got a brand new Ampeg SVT 610hlf (killer price too). Besides some quick jamming at the house, I have not been able to crank-up the volume yet until last weekend.
The last few shows I have played have been backlined, and I use a different rig at rehearsal, so i have not been able to take the cab out and really see what she can do until last weekend.
Last weekend i played a gig sat and sunday. Sat. was indoors @5,000 square foot club, and the other was outdoors at a haunted house on a medium stage (sort of state fair-ish). First gig had PA support, 2nd show limited PA support.
I have a GK 1001-rb-II. I ran all the knobs straight-up (noon) for the show so i was not at "max" power (700 watts) or extream EQed. For some reason the D note (10th fret E string)/not the drop D note) would really cause the cab to fart, buzz and distort.
most other notes sounded pretty good, a bit low-mid-ish, but after the farting. I was really afraid to push it, should i be afraid? the cab is 600watts RMS.
i play a fender geddy jazz with EMG pick-ups, passive tone controls with the head's pad "on", so I'm not overdriving the front end.
What's the deal with the fart, any way to solve it?
I thought i had found my end all stand alone big venue, loud volume cab!?. Do i need to replace the stock speakers/what are each set's impedences?
I want to stick with ampeg. If I returned it, how is the 410hlf vs. the 610. Would I have the same issues?
