  1. Just like your dad said, never trust a guy with two first names. Same thing goes with forum handles that start with JJ or TV or whatnot. Before I cast my vote, I'd like to know exactly what the JJ stands for. It could be important.
  2. just wanted to detail the proper switching jack install for adding a cab to a pathfinder. in my case two vintage CTS 10s I got cheap at auction, but were 4ohms. Needed to add resistor that kicks into "combo" mode (new jack drilled, resistor engages when no speaker jack is present), kicks out when a the 4 ohm cab is plugged in, and puts the pair in series to make approx 8ohms, it's actually more like 7.2 total. detail photo if anyone else ever requires it. Always a use for spare guitar parts in my shop... changed an LP jack/plate to goldtone a couple years ago, the old chrome now goes back in service.
  3. the pathfinder loves pedals and MFX too. I find it especially transparent when it comes to amp models - but I want to put this warning out... The above combo/stack configuration mods shown are not correct. I am working to rectifry the situation with help of some other forum folks. As is the above set up, I could not get the cab working, which led me to do some troubleshooting and I found out I did some stuff wrong, so don't do what I did, it could damage your amp. Thankfully, I think mine is still ok, but it's not doing what I want it too. Once I get it corrected, I will modify this post, and the other one as well.
  4. ^ well, we have a place where people take thier old electronics, computers tvs and such and really, I'm not sure where they send it all. I saw a combo box sitting in the pile, along with an Line-6 effects controller, and I just asked if I could have 'em. They were great about it. I'm not sure if they are supposed to do that, but it does follow the reduce, reuse, recycle mantra. If you want to find out what I did with the board, you should visit my mod HQ over at AGF... http://www.agileguitarforum.com/showthread.php?tid=255
  5. ^ I had to put in a 4 ohm resistor on a switching jack for the bottom cab output so I could use the single 4 ohm as a combo cab, or it switches out when speaker plug goes in the extra output I made to add the bottom cab. apparently those big resistors can give off quite a bit of heat, so I did a bit of a heat shield, and it's set up to port the heat out through the grill in the back because we don't want heat build in the chassis. I was told heat might be an issue if I just use the combo with the resistor, (it's that big white block tied that's tied in to the jack) so I figured better safe than sorry. The grill is actually a chunk of something from an old microwave.
  6. I'm currently entranced with the Pathfinder 15r, and though it's a great little unit as stock, I have been obsessed with trying to make this widely acclaimed little SS gem even better. You could say I have been on the path to find additional tone goodness... First off, a rehouse/respeaker job with the first one, into a refinished bass combo cab I found at the recycling depot... The 12" eminence "Tweedfinder"... Second, since I had a leftover combo cab, so I managed to snag another 15R with mismatched grill cloth for $40, and happened across a pair of vintage 4ohm 10" CTS speakers for another $20, which are now being frankensteined together to become the "Stackfinder"... The Stackfinder is meant to be used either as a one-piece combo, or a stacked with the extra 10" for flexibililty- there were some speaker size and resistance challenges to overcome. Still toying with the LED mod idea, not sure which one I might try it on first. Any suggestions? The full project threads, and a bunch more other guitar-ish fun can be found on my main gear mod thread HQ over here http://www.agileguitarforum.com/show...tid=255&page=1 if you are interested.
