A Sansamp BDDI gets you close [/quote] I think I need to invest in a Sansamp or similar do you think there is compression in the fx chain? Thanks for your help.

hi to all, I was wondering after listening to some great live NOFX and Me First and the gimme gimmes tracks what Fat Mike uses to get his sound. I can't find the answer through my googling so wondered if anyone here knows. thanks in advance, juice

[quote name='dougie' post='1120328' date='Feb 8 2011, 05:36 PM']Funnily enough im starting my pedal box this week(doing it at work on nightshift),ive changed my design 3 times since last Sunday but finally worked it out,im doing it in Aluminium with the Power mounted underneath and only the power inputs and connecting jacks are seen,its got more truck bits on it than purchased,ie-led bars and neon strips more recognisable on our fleet of Hinos and Volvos .....but the actual frame has turned out amazing.......using metal and esp chrome plating is gonna be heavy,i,ll pm u some pics from work tonight maybe give you some ideas or piss yourself laughing.[/quote] look forward to seeing how your getting on, I keep changing design track but as the pedal trains are so popular I thought the dimensions would give a good starting point for whatever design i end up making. I am planning on chrome plating an aluminium construction, here is a place that does [url="http://www.reevemetalfinishing.co.uk/nickel-and-chrome.htm"]chrome plating aluminium[/url] I don't think it will add too much weight overall.

Hi to all, I am designing a custom pedal board to be fabricated & then chrome plated but I wondered if a Pedaltrain owner could confirm the dimensions noted on the image below to help me develop my layout. also, I would welcome any problems you guys have found using the various types of 'off the shelf' boards. My main reason for a custom design will be to provide increased space for power (including wall-wart supplies) and a flat base area at the side for a wah as I would prefer this to be at floor level. thank you in advance for any comments you may have - they could make all the difference with my final unit.

[quote name='Toddy' post='1027253' date='Nov 17 2010, 07:56 PM']Hey Gang,,, moving and clearing out the garage,,,, Have a 700 firebass head stuck in there,,, last time plugged it in,, it fired up !! literally.....(no visible damage cosmetically) since then its been knocking bout the garage,,,,, if anyone has any use for it ,great,, its that or the skip. Im in Winterton Lincolnshire,, the original shell for the amp not in the pic but included.... Regards John ,,, 07735552294 [/quote] hi john - I think I could use this modified as a pre-amp as a temporary lightweight gig-rig till they operate on me again. I will text you at a more sensible hour but could you send it to me in grantham? thanks, justin.

At first I thought there was someone else with a seafoam green prs bass, then I realised this is mine!! so does that count as a +1? hope your keeping well, must have been 4 years ago I bought the prs off you?

[quote name='xgsjx' post='979730' date='Oct 6 2010, 06:38 PM']So the answer to your question is "yes maybe, but I doubt it". [/quote] Lol

[quote name='alexclaber' post='979516' date='Oct 6 2010, 03:47 PM']If the cabs are identical (bar the impedance) and the amps have identical frequency response, distortion and power output then the output will be identical. However I've yet to come across a loudspeaker where the 4 and 8 ohm versions have absolutely identical performance, let alone getting everything else to match![/quote] Thanks alex, i guessed that it is impossible to test the theory really and i'm not really sure why the question kept spinning roud my head. these things do niggle without an answer though dont they!

I apologise now if I am repeating something already covered, but as I can't find the answer I thought I would post my question anyway.... I understand the combination of ohm rating in different wiring combinations and the effect on the amps power output. I also believe the more air you shift in total the 'louder' the rig (if power/ohm matched efficiently). But does anyone know if a 400w 8ohm amp into 500w 8ohm 4x10 cab produces more or less db than a theoretically identical 4ohm rig; i.e. 400w 4ohm amp into 500w 4ohm 4x10 cab? My grey matter can't decided the outcome ! - thanks for any comments. Juice
