Yeah I'll just add--It's hard to see in the pic since the switch itself protrudes at a slightly downward angle (which is exacerbated further by the angle of the pic), but I do have it set to "8 or 4 ohms" ready to run this single 4 ohm cab ;) I appreciate your eagle eyes though! I know it's...

Makes sense! Thanks :)

Another noob question, while I'm here... Can I use this particular amp safely without having any speaker connected to it at all? I understand that this is a death sentence for some amps, but I am really itching hear it through headphones at least as I await the delivery of the final puzzle...

...at least it does look pretty swish

Ha, glad I'm not alone in my frustrations, at least! for now this new rig can just sit in my livingroom and look pretty :D

Noted, I'll source an onbrand NL2 and give that a proper try ;) This cable wasn't even cheap, but it could just be an NL4, not the one I need. Same might be true for my friend's cables, which I know work fine. It's good to know the cab and amp will be okay together once I do figure out how to...

close up of the connector guts... at least, as good a photo as I can get of them (maybe I should invest in a new phone sometime instead of more bass stuff... :D)

Not Neutrik branded, no. The connectors themselves are emblazoned with "REAN", and the the cable with "Swamp Industries", if that means anything!

Omg... This is really showing my noob-ness, but am I to twist the connector as it's inserted? I haven't applied much force as I'm a bit scared to break anything... but looking at it it seems like that's how it works (the lead *fits*, but it only gets in a little way since the cores are...

Hm! I must be doing something wrong then, since my friend and I tried his tried-and-true leads as well. Here's a pic if it helps:

(whoops sorry about the double post -- slow internet) yeah... :( it doesn't seem to. I can connect the speaker just fine but getting the lead into the amp seems to require a different technique if indeed it should be able to take this connector...

That's good news...! Thank you for this info... The lead I have was sold simply as a speakon... specifically, this one. I was so hung up on researching wattages and impedance I didn't even realise there were different sorts of leads! :D A friend with bass stuff of his own came over and we tried...

Hi guys... After some years of playing crappy secondhand combos, I've gotten more serious and invested in my dream rig... a Gallien Krueger Legacy 800 and a GR Bass AT212 (weight's a big concern for me because of an injury)... Phew, exciting! The latter was so niche I had to source it from a...

Got my first public performance coming up in two weeks time... admittedly we're just a student band playing at an open mic night in a local pub, but it's the realest deal I've had to date! Wish me luck ;p
