    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    Hi. I am having trouble navigating this forum, but here is my 1964 B-18-N. Pretty much stock original, except the dolly, which I got from Fliptops.com. Had it for 30-some years now. I still gig with it on occasion, particularly when doing light jazz combo work. Anyway, I thought some might...

    GK MB head vs Legacy

    Hi friends. Tried to post my questions to GK-only forum but no luck. Operator error no doubt. Anyway, I am transitioning away from gigging with my Sunn 200s and 2-15 cab to something smaller and lighter. So far I have purchased GK CX 210 and 115 cabs. Gigged last night with the Sunn head...

    Sunn 200s matched to GK CX210 cab?

    Ya know, I've never played through an ss amp, other than a few samples. Maybe this will open up some new sounds and styles for me! Hey, thanks a bunch for the advice. And yes, I will definitely fix the 200s.

    Sunn 200s matched to GK CX210 cab?

    I totally agree, and even more so now that I have experimented w/ my two GK cabs hooked to the Sunn head. They sound good, but not the same. I am thinking I will just park the Sunn head and cab and go full solid state for gigging. ..........But then I dream of pairing a Sunn 4-10 w/ my...

    Sunn 200s matched to GK CX210 cab?

    Should I just forget a hybrid and go full ss? I am beginning to think the hybrid is a bit of a sham, as you suggest.

    Sunn 200s matched to GK CX210 cab?

    thanks for the sympathy, BB. I have a gig friday and i was looking forward to trying out the new rig. bummed. am i safe just running the 200s through a single GK cab, either the 115 or the 210?

    Sunn 200s matched to GK CX210 cab?

    dn dang it, hope i am not wearing out my welcome, but i plugged one GK cab into the 200s main tap. worked fine, sounded pretty good. plugged the second cab into the adjacent "external speaker" tap. nothing. both cabs dead. sounds like i need to do some rewiring, no?

    Help. I am ignorant regarding impedance matching.

    thanks again, Bogeybass. You have been more than helpful. Can I bother you with a few more dumb questions? Impedance is resistance, right? so adding a cab reduces resistance? and increases volume, for instance? but reduces power output (wattage?) all very confusing to me.
