At least we're not using cubits, though they did manage to build the pyramids with them.

In the US metric hardware, as in nuts and bolts, have pretty much replaced Imperial entirely. It started with cars, when the best selling cars in the US were all Japanese, and the US manufacturers were forced to follow suit. It became complete when almost every product made was of Chinese origin. But as for going full metric about the only product that has done so is alcohol.

So when I watch British TV programs (which is almost every day) why do they keep referring to feet, pounds and miles per hour? 🤔 It reminds me of the story of the man who was confused while visiting Quebec. The faucets in his bathroom were both marked C. When he asked the front desk why they both said 'C' the clerk replied 'the one C stands for Cold. The other stands for Chaud. We are bi-lingual.'

Burying a post at the end of an unrelated zombie thread tends to be unproductive. You should start a new thread.

Pretty much any two cabs together will sound better than either alone. The only way to know if Cab A plus Cab B is better than 2xCab A or 2xCab B is to try all three combinations side by side. That's not an option for most.

Cheap connectors are the likely problem. Are your cables equipped with Neutrik? If not replace them- the connectors, that is, not the cables.

It only delivers 180w into 8 ohms, so you won't have a lot of headroom. The i Pro 600 V2 is a better match.

Everywhere. It can't damage anything, and will displace any residual moisture

True, so I'd spray the inside with contact cleaner, including in the pots.

Hoffman's Iron Law .2 : Goes loud, goes low, is inexpensive. Pick any two, but you can't have all three.

You left out the pedals. That makes it eleven, and not in the good way. 😒

Mechanical coupling, yes, as I noted to keep the speaker from dancing. Acoustical coupling, or decoupling, no. Many of those seen on silly expensive speakers look like they must do something significant, and it's mainly audiophiles who fall for the scam. It's quite odd that so many of those claiming to have 'golden ears' listen with their eyes. 🤔

24 hours is more than enough. For many years my valve amps took the ride to the gig in the back of a van, where there was little to no heat, while being stored during the week in an unheated shed. Mind you the over night temperatures in my area during winter are -5C and lower, often dipping to -20C. The time between when my amp got into the heated club and when I fired it up was about an hour. I never had a problem.

They were very good friends with Ox, Squire and Lemmie. 😉

Cutting mids will lose you in the mix, but using a pick restores them compared to fingers. I use a pick most of the time, as I like a strong mid presence, but when I want a mellow tone I switch to my fingers.
