waynepunkdude Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I just got home from work, had a play with it for 15 mins. I think I have achieved perfection. I had it Bi-amped lows into the 15" and full range into the 4 X 10" ( I should have put the 15" underneath but I was on y own and couldn't be arsed to lift it). It is SO clean and so punchy, can't see me needing another amp for a long while. Here's another crappy phone pic, it's not racked yet but will be on the weekend. Quote

Put the a output into the 4x10 and the b output into the 1x15 that's if I remember correctly, I'll check it tomorrow to make sure. Quote

waynepunkdude Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 In basic term I have 2 power amps in my amp and it is set so I get full range going through the 4 X 10 and only low range going through the 1 X 15. I'm sure someone can explain it better than me though. Quote

Xzantes Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 This is my old rig back about 2 years ago: yes i know the 15 would look better at the bottom but it's in my room and much lighter than the 4x10 Quote

(i'm talking HEAVY metal here), thinking of an upgrade from my ashdown electric blue head[/quote] Very very very clean Very loud Quite bright - EQ takes some getting used to, very very musical and powerful as a basic tone shaping control Its not noise free by any means (audible hiss, but nothing to worry you in a gig situation) At the price paid it was amazing bang for the buck, the price has risen very sharply unfortunately....

My head isn't even working at the moment![/quote] Erm I don't know. I think the difference is a crossover is one signal being split where as this is 2 separate amps but I could be talking bollocks, all I know is it sounds awesome and weighs a ton. Quote

Its a design employed by both Alembic and Fender in the past (for huge amounts of money). It doesnt overdrive with the tube it has. Changing the tube may well induce some overdrive at spleen shredding volumes, but I havent tried and dont know that for sure..... Quote

Cool idea though Quote
