Big E Speakers pt 3

[mntngrown]

Mike, I swear 6L6 are magic with your cabs. I brought them out today and blasted them with my newly acquired Peavey 120/120. It sounded amazing no matter what I did. It was articulate, punchy, and totally surrounded me no matter where I was in my very node-y basement. My TC118 resonates my entire house on B (~62 Hz) no matter what I do and the Big E just don't, no matter where I stand.

On the road right now, but I think my VB-2 is 6L6? Both my tube bass amps sound great through the 4x8. I really think these cabs are great hosts? for most amps. My Ampeg 7pro really sounds great through the 4x8. All tube is just mo bettah for old school ears.

What's the tone suck switch ?

Active/Passive input switch in Active mode.

Does the new do-hickey work with the flex cabs?

Leland and Steve have tried it with their 10" based cabs with excellent results. I'll be trying it in a 210 Flex modular and a 110 sub this week. I'm pretty confident about the results.

Active/Passive input switch in Active mode.

That'll do it for sure.

Nice, looking forward to your thoughts on the 210 flex results. While the De-Monique was stellar through my 210 flex, I still preferred the more open top end and selectable mids of my Streamliner. That Demeter power section sure is a hammer though!! I know several guys found the Streamliner to be mushy and/or mid shy, but after some tube rolling it is still my favorite amp with the flex. Fat, warm, articulate, and plenty o power. Fantastic with some fuzz, phase, and overdrive as well.

If y'all are curious at what the 21O sounds like in practical
application someone had a single camera at last nights show
that sounds like I remember....

I was last minute subbing and my playing is a little loose..

Same here!

No---we've tested it on the 6's and the 10's. I'll be trying it on the 45's.

How is the thingamajiggy with the 45's Mike?

Nice, looking forward to your thoughts on the 210 flex results.

As am I... especially because one is coming to me, hopefully pretty soon.

 

[Mike Arnopol]

Steve and I have been obsessing about the Mod xover and we've got it. What we wanted---to have the sub function as part of a 210Flex but have the option of using it as a sub with the 45. We figured it out. I'll be building the crossover in the next few days. And testing what we'll call the pressure regulator.
Cabs are done.

Radbass and I a/b'd with the pressure regulator (to make sure) on the 46 and it is a noticeable improvement. No down side.

I'm sure it will also be on the 110 but I'll know in a few days.

The 45----I'll know in a couple of days and post.

 

[3rdcurve]

So, on the flex would there be a pressure regulator for the 10s and the mids or just the 10s..........or just the mids?

 

[Mike Arnopol]

just the 10's

 

[3rdcurve]

just the 10's

Cool.

 

[ric426]

Would the pressure regulator make any difference with the MAS109? I've got no complaints, but if there's an upgrade I'd like to get one too.

 

[Mike Arnopol]

Yes--at least I think so. The upside is--if you don't dig it--just remove it.

 

[3rdcurve]

That was odd.

 

[tyb507]

Right?

 

[spiritbass]

Dig it. All you need is love (and a good bass rig)...

 

[Mark Sacchetti]

Anyone know what happened?
