    I move the band PA speakers as well as my bass rig and choose the Ford Puma as the PA speakers fit in the Megabox of the boot. Then my Cab goes on top of those and the cable boxes, amp, lights, pedal board etc piled alll around. The bass goes inside.

    I am now completely handbag-less. I rely on PIT, Pockets In Trousers.

    Ouch!

    Of course, and with my pedant's hat on, there is no such thing as an ampless setup. There are always amplifiers twixt the instrument and our ears, so I suppose that we are discussing backline, amplification on stage, controlled by the musician. As an Electronic Engineer by trade, some of those pedal boards look like hum and noise generators, but each to his own. I suppose my advice would be to keep the number of individual devices between you and the FOH input as low as possible. Get a good power supply, one that is really isolated. If it costs less than £80 it probably is not isolated. In an isolated supply, each output has isolated 0V lines, so no noise or unwanted signal is fed into other pedals via the power lines.

    Amen to that.

    To be honest, I was into Trapeze before Purple, so only really listened to Purple when Hughes and Coverdale joined. I think those two voices together were insane.

    Might just take your life is a great track. Oh yes.

    This sale is for a pair of Laney Audiohub AH115 speakers. These are rebranded versions of the HH Vector and are a good quality Mid-Range PA Speaker. These have been gigged once and always in a Citronic protective bags. They are in very good condition/virtually pristine as they have never been transported without the bags. These are stock pictures, I will upload real images as soon as I can take them. I love them, but have now got a smaller car. They have always been transported in the provided padded bags. Includes mains leads. They can be used on a speaker stand or as a floor monitor. There are handles on both sides and on the top, they are really easy to handle and there are small wheels on the back to save carrying them on smooth surfaces (of course they would have to be out of the bags for that). You can use these with a separate mixer or the 3 input mixer onboard. There are 2 mic/line inputs plus a 3.5mm input, so you can connect from a phone or tablet. You can also play back from an SD card, USB card or Bluetooth. You can also link the two speakers using Bluetooth using True Wireless Stereo. (TWS) for stereo operation. Weight 15kg/ 33lbs Dimensions: 715mm x 465mm x 380mm (HWD) Can post via Parcel force for £20. Features: Integrated 3 channel mixer 15” woofer & 1” compression driver 35mm pole stand fitting Integrated MP3 player 800 Watts Lightweight and portable Bluetooth enabled Play music Via USB or Memory Stick XLR Mix out socket Mini-jack inputs

    I have built cabinets where both have come adrift, and then you have a pig of a job to get the driver in/out. I have a loose rattling insert on my After Eight modded combo that I need to fix now, but in all honesty I have had more trouble with T Nuts. A No 10 wood screw can hold 35Kgs minimum, into wood, so 4 give you 140Kg withdrawal force. 8 would give you 280 Kb. Of course, an M4 or bigger, machine screw holds much more. However, the T Nut is an interference fit into the baffle but, unlike a nail, does not have a parallel shank. So does not resist a backward force well. Threaded inserts threads do not always align well with the plys of the plywood baffle.

    I only put this up for discussion, but if you used a suitable block of scrap wood behind the screwholes, together with eight reasonably large screws. That would hold the driver firmly in place without T-Nuts or threaded inserts. I have tried all three methods, and both T Nuts and threaded inserts are less than ideal.

    The Everbuild Adhesives also have a superior tip to the Evostick ones. However, having studied Adhesives, there is very little difference in the glues. Some are biased to fast drying, some for longer free time, but all are "stronger than the wood itself". If you want to be picky, the non-waterproof ones are stronger.

    Try an Orchid DI. http://orchid-electronics.co.uk/classic_DI.htm I have two of them and they are great.

    My M2 does have shielding paint in the cavity.

    I have the normal Di Marzio P pup in my Aerodyne and I contacted Di Marzio tech about the wiring. They go against the grain, recommending Log (Audio Taper) pots and form memory 500K for volume and 250K for tone. When I queried this, they came back with "We do not feel linear pots are effective with passive, high-impedance pickups. This is subjective, and you may come to a different conclusion." For the first time I had a passive bass with a tone control that really works, it changes the tone all the way round the pot. https://d2emr0qhzqfj88.cloudfront.net/s3fs-public/diagrams/DiMarzio Sixties P™ Wiring Diagram_0.pdf This is the diagram I used: https://d2emr0qhzqfj88.cloudfront.net/s3fs-public/diagrams/DiMarzio Model P %26 J Wiring Diagram_1.pdf

    Burn and Mistreated were the best Deep Purple tracks for me, and Burn the best overall album.

    This seems to have come from the early days of solid state, particularly car audio manufacturers, to make their very inefficient drivers seem louder. This comes from Ohm's law (V = I x R) and the Electrical Power Law (P = V x I)*, This means that to obtain a power of 1 watt into 8 ohms you need 2.828 Volts, but the same power into 4 ohms only requires 2 V. So by feeding a 4 ohms speaker with 2.828 volts, you magically find an extra 3dB. This trick only became possible once solid state became a thing and transformers disappeared. *P = power in watts, V = Volts, I = Current, measured in Amperes or Amps for short. N.B. Current is often incorrectly called Amperage.

    Done

    They seem to be thicker than round wound or flats. Has this been a problem for anyone?

    I hate to be a party pooper, but 28pF per foot is not low capacitance, it is higher than most decent cables. That being said, they have a great reputation for reliability. If you are happy with them, great. However, I think they are vastly overpriced. 28pF per foot is 91pF per metre, similar to Van Damme XKE (90pF) but Sommer Tricone series are 80pF and the Classique braided is 75pF. Sommer and Klotz also do much lower capacitance cables.

    I cannot be sure, but I think Lynx branded cable is Chinese. That does not mean that it is not good, rather that the quality may be variable. It looks like you have some verdigris (copper rust) at the break point that suggests that the braid was in contact with air/oxygen. That means there was a breakdown of insulation at some point. This could have been where the cable was looped over the strap?

    What do you use now?

    Takes three mics, but the Glyn Johns method works well. Works well live too.
  23. Chienmortbb
    I could not have put it better myself.

    Hoping not to get too teknikal, but it's hard not too. In this case, the Class D amp was current limited. It simply could not supply the extra current required. The Class A/B amp had a more powerful power supply. It had nothing to do with amplifier class. If you put a 16 ohm speaker on both amps, both would probably not get loud enough for you as they would be voltage limited,

    I loved my Thunder 1A but that is Devine.
