My thoughts on the MonoPrice / Stage Right 5W Combo ($100 …
WEBApr 18, 2018 — The Tone control is a pretty typical high cut. On my amp, there is a nice sweep as the pot is turned, but there is a sudden jump in the last 10% of the sweep. Not sure if this is a defective pot or some kind of "feature" that was planned. The "5W/1W" push-button switch on the front panel is really just changing the load on the guitar via ...
4 ohm amp into 8 ohm speaker? Safe? - The Gear Page
WEBDec 19, 2013 — Three 8-Ohm speakers parallel yields a 3.2 Ohm load compared to the 4 Ohm load of two 8-Ohm speakers. Connecting a second 4-Ohm extension cabinet is "flirting" with danger, but using anything more than a 16-Ohm load speaker setup (like three 8-Ohm speakers wired in series) is more likely to damage the amp.
ToneX with a tube amp? - The Gear Page
WEBMar 17, 2023 — DaveDaveDave said: IMHO, Yes, so long as you're plugging the ToneX into the FX return of the amp. So far I've played ToneX into a mesa 20/20 with a 2x12, and into a Mesa Maverick with a 1x12 EVM12L. I haven't been playing loud enough to drive the power tubes in either amp, but it sounds really, really good to my ears.
How do you know if an amp needs new capacitors? - The Gear Page
WEBJul 24, 2018. #2. If a filter cap is going bad, you can hear a lot of buzzing, including but not limited to 60Hz. If you actually look at capacitors inside the amp (do not touch, even when unplugged!) they can appear to be deformed, bulging out at the ends, etc. There are capacitors in both places. Sometimes resistors can go bad due to age ...
Best iOS amp sim app - The Gear Page
WEBMar 25, 2020 — BST100. It's got modified IRs from their desktop version, but they apparently are using IRs, and the sim is very good. They say they will port some others. I think around $20US. It's versatile. Also, Amplitube is very good. I sometimes use …
Best Clean Solid State Analog Guitar Amp? - The Gear Page
WEBJan 7, 2018. #1. Most analog solid state amps seem to go for the cranked preamp valve sound.As the ss has no pre and output valves, no PI, OT to break down the sound the makers often try to emulate this by implementing a distortion factor,ie a pushed preamp clipping sound to the volume section.This is what they think guitar players want.
Solid State Amp Troubleshooting Guide? | The Gear Page
WEBSep 3, 2022 — First amp: Ampeg BA115 (bass amp) - Keeps blowing its fuse immediately after power is turned on. Second one: Crate FXT65 - Plays and has radio interference, but mainly none of the DSP functions work. Third one: Peavey Solo Series Special 112 - Power LED comes on, but that's it. No sound, nothing.
Building an isolation box for a guitar cabinet - The Gear Page
WEBNov 16, 2010 — Hello all, So I have been tinkering around with the idea of building a sound proof isolation box for amp Morgan AC20 speaker cabinet which is an oversized 1x12 cab loaded with an ASW Elegante (awesome speaker by the way). The AC20 is pure tone and I had Joe install power scaling which helps...
2024 - Cheap Amp & Expensive Guitar VS Expensive Amp
WEBMay 16, 2024 — Hard agree. Worst amp I ever had was a 00's Vox Valvetronix and you could have played the best guitar in the world through that thing and it would have sounded like ass. But I've played €200 Harley Benton Tele through my current rig and it sounded and played great. So cheap guitar + decent/expensive amp for me
