    I need some help wiring my rig!!!!!

    Sounds good to me. Sometimes digital electronics can sound.....well......digital! Adding a valve channel will add some warmth to the sound. Infact im getting myself a valve pre for my setup (When funds allow). Let me know how it goes, and if you fancy selling the tube channel and shipping...

    Noob question about guitar/bass amps

    It will work, no problem. The preamp, eq etc is not designed for bass so your sound probably wont be as bassy as a bass amp. As for the power amp side it wont matter and the speakers wont be designed for bass so as the eq really. Most guitar amps speakers will be fine at low level if you...

    broken tweeter? ... maybe?

When you drive a gazillion watts into your cab then they blow and cost peanuts to replace rather than your tweeter blowing costing (possiably) Hundreds. By the way, just a note on testing things like this, start...

    Effects or not??

    Is both an option????? I have a little Zoom B2 jobby and it does the job. I really only use a little chorus and reverb sometimes i use some overdrive but VERY rarely. Basically get a cheap multi-FX, spend the rest down the pub. When you know what FX you use then go and buy the single stop...

    Valve Bass Pre-Amp - Calling all electronics buffs!

    I was looking for just a valve sound/feel. No OD or distortion just valve warmth. You can get LV valves & I have tried google most are mains and require custom transformers which all gets a little too much of a bind. I was looking along theses lines Link Removed Just thought it...

    2x10 cab build

    If you were to run this with your other cab then i guess it would be 8 Ohms as most amps go down to 4 ohms and the outputs on the rear would be parallel.
