Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think it's a 4x10 for me. Daz

[quote name='algmusic' post='1136972' date='Feb 22 2011, 12:31 PM']Yep the guy in the shop is an idiot.. That's 500w amp at 4ohms and you've been putting in 500w into 400w handling cab.. not great and at full power I would have personally got the 8ohm cab, then you would get 300w at 8ohms, then you can add another 8ohm cab then use the full 500w between two cabs. Or get a 500W+ handling 4ohm cab (4x10 or 2x12) Technically you can use it, but I'd be careful driving your cab Also did you have the volume and gain at full?? It could have overheated.. If you're riding the gain, the volume, may need to go down.. I'm sure the true tech guys here can give more advice But first of all TURN IT DOWN :-) and maybe return it..[/quote] Thanks for the advice. The Gain and Volume were at the same setting. I'm going to change it and pay the little extra for a 410. Thanks again. Daz

Hey people I recently treated myself to the two goodies in the title of this post as I wanted some good gear that would last me for a while so have been saving up for ages. However, I feel I have been misinformed by the shop keeper. Can SOMEONE/ANYONE please tell me if the Little Mark Tube 500 is compatible for the Traveller 210 4ohm cab. It sounded fine in the shop at lower volume, but when I hit my first practice with it, I had the volume and gain at around 10/11 (playing moderately loud rock) and when I turned down for a bit to put my bass down and went to turn it back up the sound had gone completely. I tried the cab with the standard amp at the rehearsal studio and the cab worked, but then tried MY LITTLE MARK TUBE with the studios cab and nothing, then after a couple more mins, I put the Little Mark Tube back with the Traveller 210 and it was fine again for the rest of the session. Not sure why this happened. Is this amp too powerful for this cab? Did it set off some kind of speaker or amp protection system momentarily? The guy in the store said it was fine to go with this cab, as he suggested me plugging it in, but checking the cab it says it handles it only 400watts when the Amp is 500! I know I sound like a fool. Just not much of a tech head and wasn't helped very much by the shopkeeper obviously. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Am thinking of either getting an 8ohm traveller instead or just going for a straight up 410 cab to handle all this amp has to offer. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Cheers Daz
