Show your amps!

Yeah, that's the CB112.
I don't find it being muddy (or lack of definition) even when the bass eq is crank up. And having the tweeter turn up to about 1/3 of the way IMO gives the best result in reinforcing the sound especially when I'm trying to go for the mid growl jazz sound.
For $164 is definitely worth a try!!

Yeah, I've got the CB115, it's not "muddy" but it does lack definition considering there's no tweeter. Worth the money, but I think I may just save up a bit and get one of those Aguilar GS112s,

Wow there are some realy high $ rigs in this thread.

On the other end of the scale is mine

An old Crate B160-XL 15" driver 160W at 4ohm with a 2ohm min load.
I bought this used back in 89-90

Cheap xaudio 210 cab I bought for less than $90 (shiping included) off the internet.
Its not the best sounding cab I have ever heard but for the price its not bad.
I bought it to try and get a little more punch and high end clairity, and it does just that.
If it cost any more than it did I would not get one though.

 

[Crazic]

does anyone have an amp with ventilation in the top of it mounted in a rack without leaving one space above for ventilation.

i have such an amp along with a compressor and a 4u rack
however i wanna pick up an eq resulting in a full rack.

would my amp suffer?

 

[BillyB_from_LZ]

You've seen most of this before, but I just added a couple Avatar cabinets to the pile. The B212 is loaded with Delta 12LFs and the CB115H (purchased empty) is loaded with an EVM 15B that I had laying around. The CB115H cabinet is sized and tuned about the same as the TL606 cabinet that EV designed for the EVMs.

The only other addition was the Peavey DPC-1000 1U power amp in the bottom of the lower rack.

Crazic,
My GK is that way, and in a 4 space rack. Mount the head in the top of the rack. I would suggest you drill small vent holes in a nice pattern above the fan outlet about the same diameter as the heads outlet hole. It will really only look good if you have a plastic rack though.

From our last gig:

Head:
SWR 350, Raven Labs MDB1, FMR RNC 1773 compressor, Alembic SF-2 Superfilter.

Cabs:

Eden D210XLT
SWR Goliath III 4x10

With the gain set just before clip, I didn't need to go higher than 1.5 on the master volume in a room which held over 100. Cool!

This is my current project at the start. A 70' svt that looks like it has been sitting somewhere since the 70's. I'm almost done right now and the difference is amazing. I will post a picture of what the chassis looks like now.

 

[timv]

Here is the chassis now.

 

[lsimy]

Geeez TimV, nice work. My buddy has 2 early 70's SVT's and he had to restore one of them badly. Be careful of the plate voltages if you are working with any electronics!!!

Again, nice work !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[timv]

Yeah, I know about the voltage inside. This is the second one I am working on. This still has the plate cap tubes too. I'm going to look at the preamp tonight and replace the filter cap up there and if everything else looks good fire it up and see what happens. I will have completed pictures next week once the digital camera is back at home. I took pictures of the whole process basically and would like to make a web page with them all at some point.

Damn Big O...

you got a Big and Nice rig

 

[BillyB_from_LZ]

Since 6550s don't have plate caps, could your amp be a '69?

I cleaned up a '73 SVT that was filthy. It was so bad that I had to tear apart the volume controls and clean the resistive element with a pencil eraser to get the volume controls to stop being scratchy...

 

[bassist31588]

Hartke 3500 into a Peavey TX410 on most occasions.

 

[bassist31588]

And here's the rest of my rig, the two cabs together just kick ass..... for the price of a combo amp I've got something a lot better (and heavier, debating on selling my avatar CB115 cab and get an Aguilar GS112)

 

[timv]

They still put the 6146's in them up till the end of 70'. They did a couple circuitry changes between 69 and 70 also. I have 2 different power amp schematics for the 6146 svt's. I turned it on last night and everything is working. Now I just need some new tubes and to clean the tube sockets. Forgot to dissconnect the polarity switch after adding a 3 conductor cord and blew a circuit breaker.

 

[Danm]

Aussie Made Pro Audio 2x12 ( Eminance )with tweeter..

400 Watts @ 4 Ohms

Just gotta get a 2x10 to sit on top now

 

[IM Wombat]

Pretty simple: WM4004 with 4x10/1x15 (with the 15 on the bottom when actually playing!)

 

[Stingray4Christ]

Finally got a picture of my rig. I know, the power/pre section needs upgrading...
