Mr. Foxen

Think it should be called 'Dual amping', true biamping is using a crossover to split lows and highs. Anyway, the TU2 tuner will do the splitting for you (will only mute one channel though), easy part, then you have 2 outputs to do what you want with. The LS2 is better for mixing effects and clean back into the same amp. Handy as a backup on your board if you borrow rigs or somesuch.

The switching on my max doesn't do anything but make the noise, nothing changes, need to get it looked at and might have the mod done too.

The pots and stuff look to be the Squier ones, which are a definite weak point on my one at least. The 'reliced' bit should show up the veneers of the Squier.

Build a valve preamp first, and use in into a power amp. See how you get on with that.

Get a Matamp instead. I think Orange are going to go the way of MArshall, except Marshall are already covering that market, trading on established name and visibility over quality.

[quote name='4-string-thing' post='674937' date='Dec 5 2009, 02:02 PM']some of those old Acoustic cabs were designed to "throw" the sound further, thus making them seem louder 20 feet away than close up. I'm no expert (clearly) but I suspect this is what they called a "W" design. Again, the Acoustic forum is full of people who know an awful lot more than me... One things for sure, I'd love to know how those old cab designs would sound with modern drivers.[/quote] I have one of those, discussed here, ripped into the old tech and 'throwing' concept (although it definitely is observable, its not really throwing apparently) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28973"]here[/url]. I have stuck a Eminence 18 in it, but haven't really tested it since, only in livinging room, which is hardly a suitable venue, as I'm still waiting on getting the amp back. Chunkily built big old cabs with modern drivers in is fairly ideal if you can retune the port to suit.
