Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Only running the SVT with one cab is a double edged sword. I can actually turn it up a bit to get my cleans loud enough comparably to my dirty volume but then Im really pushing the cab hard. Havent blown anything yet, but my 810, which has an 800 watt handling, starts farting out after like a hard, loud hour of playing or so. Cold it sounds fine and no farting, but after a while...FRRRRRRRRRRRRRTZZZZ, like they start overheating. So the last half of practice I usually have to dial everything back.
Well our sets are never over an hour so I should be fine, its more practices where we're playing for like 3 hours straight that I worry a bit. But its definitely the first amp Ive ever owned where I gotta be careful to not destroy poopie.

couldn't respond earlier, i was photographing rabbits and hummingbirds in the park, usually i have the 250 all the way up and the mids at 10, bass at 8, and treble at 6.5
I think its more of a thermal overload problem than it is a overexursion from sub lows. But ill look into them.
If I'm not mistaken they get hot from the extra work that those freqs put out. Hence one is the other?
I like this game. I'll post the CL400 settins later. I usually run the 2000s wide open with volume to taste.
Spent a lil' more at lunch than I meant to.
I've been owning and playing guitars and bass for 23 years. This is my first red one. Also, my first P90 equipped axe.
MIK, 1995. Repaired headstock, a little beat here and there but plays nice.

Spent nine bucks on a Bluetooth gamepad that has a clamp to hold a smart phone. Downloaded emulators and ROM packs, instant portable retro gaming machine.
Done with all my instrumental tracking for the 2nd HC EP! Accomplishment feels good.
Facebook-induced FOMO is hitting hard due to all my friends and acquaintances at Psycho Las Vegas right now. Soooo Jealous. One friend is reporting Matt Pike playing poker at the Hard Rock right now, ha ha.
I'm at home and the rig is at the studio. That's already a much more rounded tone than I use.
I have my mids at 10, bass at 7-8, treble at 2. On the graphic, I have the middle two pushed all the way up, the next ones out halfway up, and the outer two at the centerline.
FOMO?
I wish it was in California again. I couldn't go last time because I couldn't afford the ticket prices. I could have easily bought the tickets for it this year, but I can't afford a weekend in a Las Vegas hotel.
This is about where I'm at live. Obviously use very different settings in the 1br apartment.
One of the guys from peavey was super cool and hooked me up with some things.
A matching OG knob to replace that one chicken head I had AND... He was cool enough to find me some original material that was used for the rear metal grille(hexagon shaped) and cut/bent it to CL400 spec so I can replace the hideous expanded diamond with the cool hexagon grille. I am also prepared to light this bitch up when I get the new grille, so that will be awesome. Glowing, glowing tubes.
Speak of the devil. I just checked my mail.
