Fellow TBers, just need some help and advice.

I play thru an Aguilar TH 500 head into a Markbass 15 in, CLUB cabinet. (use two cabinets for some gigs -additional 12 in Markbass)

I have been exploring the PorkLoin pedal and enjoying its goodness, but when I push it some for grind, my cabinet is doing something odd, I guess the closest to call it would be a slight "farting out" type sound.

I don't believe my cabinet is blown, is there some other explanation for this? Maybe I need to tighten down the screws on it?

Are you playing it fairly overdriven/distorted? You mean Grindcore? I've always had a hard time being able to crank that style of head and use much distortion, I usually have to sacrifice volume. It might be just a frequency issue between the pedal and the head, I could also see having more speakers helping. If your speaker isn't blown, your dust cap might just need reglued, some times being pushed real hard is the only time you notice.
