Orange AD200 into UL310, safe?????

[j-raj]

8ohm tap? Is that like a 'dummy load'? Explain this 'tap" to me.

The term "8 ohm tap" refereed to plugging this cab into,
(or switching to) the amps 8 ohm (transformer tap) speaker output...

Now that makes more sense to me, given what I know of the Basset Hound. But the AD200 is a fairly visceral amp. It'll toss some drivers around if they aren't up to (really, I should say 'designed for') the low damping factor.

[Edit: I don't doubt that at more moderate volumes, the AD200/UL310 would sound incredible. I am just concerned about pushing that rig too hard.]

Tom.

This may explain why this amp that gets such accolades sounded so bad with my Roscoe5 with AG OPB-1 through an Orange 1x15. I didn't hear all this lusciousness I was expecting. It was farting at low volumes. I didn't try a P-Bass or plug it into an NV610. Could have been a different story.

Could be. I have not tried it with just the 1x15, but even with using both the Orange 1x15 and 4x10, I can get it to fart out a bit if I push it too hard (or with an active bass with a hot output). Now, through that head on top of an NV610 or NV215, and you can just wail away.

interesting tid bits here...

didnt know a tube amp could cause a poor cab to have these minor annoyances. sorta making me rethink that SA410 cab for my SA200.

oh, so pluggin into the 8ohm output, instead of the 4ohm output. Ok, cool I get it.
