I would love to have a 401 cab. I saw a doom band who had one and it was awesome. I'm the crazy guy who is trying to knock all the walls down. I guess I'm just more concerned about the clipping. It sounds so good and doomy but I feel like it will fry speakers. I know it's a whole other topic but some say square waves won't hurt subs and larger speakers. I was just wondering if anyone out there sends their acoustic into overdrive and has not blown their speakers. Any doom guys out there cranking an acoustic on a regular basis?

Ive been running my 220 at full tilt for about a month, perfect fuzz bliss, not even a hickup.

The 408 is a 2 Ohm cab but most of the old Acoustics can handle that. It might be a good idea to replace the original speakers with ones that can take more power if you wanted to try this with a 320 or 370. I'd be happy to take the originals off you hands. :D

Help!

I have a B800H that died last night. The last couple times that I have been playing it, it has a moment of having "farting." It will have a serious distortion sound but will go back to normal. Last night, it had a moment, but then went dead. The light was still on but no sound. After it was off for an hour, I was able to get sound.

Anyone have any ideas!?!?!?! I want my amp back!:help:

Use my gear just about every weekend... Can't beat the punch (if you are a clean player then you will love the mids). People on other threads slamming the 370? Don't understand the logic, RMS in the past was just not calibrated like it is today... My 370 from a volume standard point destroys my WT 800 utilizing just about any speaker configuration other than bridging the WT 800. I have had SVT's, just way to muddy... the 8 /10's helps... to hard to dial in an SVT old or new! I do like the WT800 with my 2X4/10 XLT's for smaller shows...

Keep the faith people, and use it or lose it...Live music makes the world a better place,

anyone interested in a Wagner era B220 head? gotta a nice one I'd like to part with to acquire another 150 or a 270 / 370 head. Have this as a back-up head for my 150 /106 rig, been jonesing for a 270 / or 370 long time. PM if questions or enquiries. ACC simply the best.

Oh yeah, Acoustic rules!

I've only got a 301 cab though, still hoping for an amp to show up, but they never do over here. So I just enjoy the absolute fantastic tone of that cab. The clean sound of that cab sounds so good to me, that I stopped running any pedals through it.
Well, there is one pedal, that makes that huge sound even bigger: the Aguilar Octamizer.

As I love fuzz pedals, I now have a fuzzy rig. No more thinking about low end loss with dirt pedals, as the 301 rig is my "blend knob".

So, from left: clean rig, loop rig, fuzzy rig (used together).

Nice! I think my 301 is the best sounding cab that I have. Confuses me why folded horns get pooped on so much here on TB.

Hey there. Haven't added to this thread in quite some time. I've been using my 450 through several ACC cabinets and have been extremely happy, well that was until I picked up this 330 to go with my 406 wide. All the key features of the 320, plus reverb. Amazing cleans and devastating transistor growls.
