    What a fine, upstanding fellow you are. Best wishes to MrsAndyjr1515. There is COVID on both sides of our family, so be careful out there and if possible take a test before stepping onto your private jet or helicopter.

    If you don't mind the shipping cost to outer Mongolia, or Dorset if you prefer, I will have a look at it for you.

    There are some that will attempt to repair Class D and SMPS. However, naughty Behringer do not publish their service info. The service agents in the UK are quite helpful within the limits of their contract with Music Tribe. I have the guts of @Phil Starr's blown Behringer, and it was that amp, not the power supply, that was faulty. Sadly, the amp was a class D Chip, now fully obsolete. To be fair it was very well put together.

    You are excused. Its just that my other half always says, "You have another toy from Thomann/Andertons/Gear4Music" (delete as applicable).

    Toy?

    Well, using Motley Crue as brand ambassadors? I am speechless.

    Snake Oil? The law of diminishing returns means that these cannot be worth the money. However, there will be enough Taylor Perry, Katy Swift and Take This's to keep the business going.

    We play our favourite venue on Friday, Hythe and District Social Club, not far from Southampton. Last weekend we payed a new venue, I will not mention names but it was a very friendly place. However. at the end an elderly man, that may have had too close a reletionship with the old Wife Beater (Stella Artthingy), came up shouting the odds saying our singer cannot sing and could not read the room. Now as a buch of weekend warriors playing pubs ans clubs, Muse we ain't, but I have seen and indeed played in worse bands. The thing is that the old idea of a slow one towards the end of the evening was killing the ambience created an built up through the night. So we, like many bands, have dropped it. After the agressive rant, 10 or more people came up and said that they had enjoyed it and to ignore the drunken old farts, but it did spoil the night.

    Gosh that looks complex after using a digital mixer.

    I will try to be brief. You will not find everything you need in one book. I am always happy to be corrected, but here is my two pennyworth. TC amps are notorious in exaggerating their ratings, BUT they are plenty loud enough for most. In explanation, they use a lot of processing and especially compression to give the impression of being much more powerful than they are. However, your amp is a very capable amp and in most cases a good one cab setup should work well. Most on here will know my bent as far as cabinets go, and of course it would be good to know your budget. All online retailers must let you change your mind. I cannot remember whether you get 10 or 14 days to change your mind, but you could use that to try some cabs. UK based companies like Barefaced and LFSys offer better than that, as well as both having helpful owners. @steviefrom LFSys is often on here and can be contacted via private message for advice/ Alex Claber from Barefaced is also very helpful according to those that have asked him questions and bought his cabs. Depending on your DIY skills, there are free designs on here for the BC112 Mk3, and some easy build 12" and 10" cabinets and of course Bill Fitzmaurice sells plans for DIY cabinets and is often on here. LFSys Barefaced Bill Fitzmaurice If your goal is the lightest cabs, Barefaced. If the lightest that give the best performance, LFSys. However, others may disagree. Only you know what is right for you.

    I don't think I ever had any, and I have not missed them.

    The mic capsules in mobile phones are in fact very flat, BUT the implementation inside the phone can cripple the response. I have no knowledge of individual Android Phones, but I believe that iPhones up to iPhone 4 were very flat. Later models had an HPF applied in hardware. I still have an iPhone 4 for this reason.

    The SM58 has a wider pickup angle than many modern Cardioid mics. Also, reflections from the wall can be an issue. Cardioid mics have their biggest rejection from immediately behind the mic, and remember the cardioid pickup pattern is 360 degrees. Moving the monitor forward, backward or slightly around the corner might help. Alternatively if the monitor needs to be angled, a Super Cardioid mid would work best. I use Sontronics Solos, but Sennheiser and Shure make nice super-cardioids.

    I love the features of the CQ20 (all XLRs) but think the screen on the CQ18 really helps, especially with technophobe bandmates.

    If you put a - sign in front of those dB figures, yes but only in a free field with no trees. Rooms are a (mis) tuned box and are unpredictable.

    Yes and no nails or tin foil please. 🔥

    I thought I had heard of it, I have had a copy for years.

    Yeah, you do! No, seriously, you are right. Those 30 watt twins like the AC30, Selmer Zodiac 30 etc were very loud and in the 60s were a much better bet than the Fender twin combos. Looking back, I wonder why I "upgraded" to a Sound City 100 watt stack. Once I was a guitarist, but I had therapy and became a bassist.

    A good guitar 12 will have a sensitivity of around 100 dB at one watt at 1 m. So that say 32 watts you are closing in on 115dB. @Phil Starruses 120dB as the volume of a loud drummer when looking at bass cabs. Adding a second cabinet, depending on the room, how you measure it, what rule of thumb is flavour of the month, whether Bill or Alex are wearing red socks, will add anywhere between 3 and 6dB providing the amplifier can drive the reduced load. As dB are added to create a total, 123dB between a guitard and a loud drummer. Or louder than a modern day Jet engine. They have got to learn to play quieter together because to compete, each member of the band need to get louder and heading towards 130dB is ludicrous. One trick I have used in the past. The guitarist had a combo with chicken head knobs. I undid the master volume knob on bid amp and turn it about 45 degrees before tightening the grub screw. Then pointed it to the same number on the dial as before. He only realised one day that his amp went above 11😜

    Judging by all that iron, that must be well over 50lbs/23Kgs. Good luck with that, but as mentioned by others, if the mains transformer is as suggested, then it should be a simple thing for a tech to rewire. Remember to be sure to lower the fuse rating if going from 110 to 240. Just over half would be my recommendation and use the same type of fuse as there may be a big inrush current before the transformers settle down. If in doubt, post a picture on here with the writing on the fuse can clearly seen. Good Luck.
