    Yes I had the BLX130 and it had two mosfets and spaces for two more plus a few resistors. That suggested to me that the PCB was used for 130W upwards. Of course the speaker was 8 ohms so it was still 80 watts without an extension cab.

    I am not bothered to much by the tome change. Of course the bigger neon will affect tone ( the neck has more effect on the tone than the body in my opinion). However it is just BEAD tuning as my guitarist wants to tune down. The more I think about it, the more a 5 appeals. I almost bought am Ibanez 5 a few weeks ago.

    I knew you could not resist it.

    Should have switched on brain before posting. .

    I am thinking of going BEAD on of my basses. Does anyone make a set of strings for that?

    She will be disappointed unless there is a toy inside ( I am guessing a girl owing to the pink attire).

    If your ampeg cab has 8 ohm drivers wired in series/parallel, it can be rewired in parallel to give 2 ohms. Can you get a picture of the back of one of the drivers? However I believe some Ampeg cabs use 32 ohm drivers and in that case you are scuppered.

    I agree with Stevie, I used sandpaper on the edges and used a rubber faced-mallet to tap them into place. It is remarkable how strong the structure is without glue.

    Dry fit done. I realised after looking at the photo that I had left off the four of the five small braces but like any good journalist, I won’t let the truth spoil a good story.

    Just picked my kit up from Stevie. I am really excited as, when the “continued” thread started, I built the prototype on which much of the initial development was done. I have been gigging versions of this cabinet for over two years now and have never regretted it. I will put as much as I can on here as I build it.

    I asked Celestion and this was their reply "I don't have the specifications to hand, I'm afraid. But I can tell you that the modern day TF1020 would be very close to this model." https://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/celestion-tf-1020-8ohm-10-pa-speaker-p-112.html?zenid=c6qbfblsnadkqcftj8lth660c0

    My point is that that includes labour and profit .

    I always make my own but made the mistake of reusing a cable that someone else had discarded. I put Amphenol connectors on each end and the unbranded cable went open circuit circuit on me on Thursday. ironically it was an ultra flexible cable and I don’t usually use those. Anyway I have ordered a number of cut length cables, both OEM and Sommer to evaluate. I will report back shortly.

    Designa cables look too good to be true for my liking. I am not sure you could make any money using Neutrik/Van Damme for those prices.

    The SM212 was used in Phil Starr's 30 litre cab and works surprisingly well, but the last time we discussed it, he said a 35 litre cab would probably be better. Also look at the cone excursion graphs and air velocity. As a rule, try for sub 20 on air velocity.
  16. Chienmortbb
    We should probably put them on the builds forum.

    I would agree Klotz and Neutrik are good choices but for cable, Sommer and Mogami are also excellent. For plugs I use either Neutrik or Amphenol. Both have good cable support. Switchcaft have a good reputation but I don’t like there cable support. I would also steer clear of any cable that uses sealed plugs or where the plug is shrouded with heat shrink.

    Easy on the boy Phil, reading both of those is like doing two marathons back to back.

    One other thing to consider, where are you? Eminence are cheaper in the USA but expensive here in the UK. Beyma and Faital Pro are less expensive in the UK. I could not say with Celestion.
  20. Chienmortbb
    Phil may not say it but I believe the SM212 from Beyma would be his choice based on several years design and gigging experience. The new Faital Pro FR320 is Stevie’s choice. One trick with WINisd is to set the power ( in the signal section) to the rated power of the driver. Then look at the maximum power graph. You will see some interesting things.
  21. Chienmortbb
    I hope they improve the aesthetics, they probably are prototypes and they really look like it.
  22. Chienmortbb
    Quite a lot because whatever class of power amp or topology is used, the power supply has a great influence on performance.

    Could also be the soundguy. When I got my amp I had the DI switched to line level, the sound guy at our weekly gig said TOO HOT. Switched it to mic level and all was fun for about 6 weeks. The he said, “I am getting almost nothing from your DI)”. Switched back to Line and all was right with the world. Three months later...,, you guessed it back to Line level. Oh and myold amp had only a line level. He said that was too hot. So I bought a DI that had mic level output. It is still on my pedal board and has been used only once...

    I remember that from a thread a couple of years ago. It is a great idea, as tilting cabs does not make for a good platform for a head. However it does take up a lot of room on the floor ( I won’t say anything about the cabinets).

    No I mean not saying the TH350 was poorly designed. Just that to achieve such a small package, there have to be some compromises. It may also be the case that Aguilar’s marketing wanted to differentiate between the TH350 and the TH500. They do use different power units, the TH500 uses the 250ASX2 while the TH350 uses the 125ASX2 modules, I am not sure whether the TH500 always had two fans, something in my head says it only had one at the start but don’t quote me on that as I might be confusing them with GK.
