Members zachoff Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I never really cared what other people thought, as long as I sound as good as I can I'm happy. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted March 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2010 I care what the rest of my band thinks as well. Generally speaking everyone I play with has preferred to hear me through my favorite amps, which happen to be tube amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always have to come in with a good point that I forget to mention... I do care about this as well. I just wish my damn guitards were as courteous.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted March 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I asked the band guys about my bass tone, and they just said as long as it sounds as huge as it has been....."I love to feel the waves of bass hit me." Which is nice.....then I can experiment with tones and all that without caring. I really could see how playing cleanish through a tube amp would be rewarding. I'm really thinking about swapping out the speakers for those 15" Kappalites.....I'd hate to blow up my cab and amp in the same night. (I'll have to sell something to afford them ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted March 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I know they say watts is watts..... but will 120w SUNN be loud enough for the 600w SS Mesa watts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you'll have an issue, but I had trouble with my 200w head. It was a major reason why I got rid of it. It's was audible, but I just felt like I was pushing it to it's limits.

Members Thumper Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 How's that working for you? I've got a SUNN 2000S on the way. You know the drill. Pics, or ... I've been gigging/rehearsing with a Traynor YBA 200 since 2006. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bnyswonger Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I had a 2000S head back in the day. It was nice - I always liked the sound. It wasn't balanced real well for carrying by its top handle - that was my main beef. You can always mic your cab if you love the tone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 You don't have any volume issues?What kind of band? We play '90s-current rock---Pearl Jam, Audioslave, White Zombie, with some older more esoteric stuff thrown in. It's bass/drums/guitar, with a female lead singer. I haven't gigged with the new band, but I did a bunch of shows with the old band playing classic rock in small to medium sized clubs. I never had any trouble keeping up with a 5o-watt Marshall half-stack, keys, and a LOUD drummer. I'd run into the mains for a monitor feed, and that was it.

I can't wait to get home and try it out. I'm not too concerned about the weight or balance right now. Out of fear, I doubt I'll be taking it to any gigs too far from home. btw......IT"S HERE!!!

Members bnyswonger Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 It's just a nice, thick sounding tube amp. I didn't overdrive it or anything. Kind of somewhere between a fender & ampeg sound I guess. I wouldn't worry overly about it being fragile - they were pretty robust in construction.

I've got so many amps right now......it's a possibility.....hard to say since I haven't had a chance to play it yet. Hey! Do you know why they used dual tube rectifiers?

Moderators Kindness Posted March 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hey! Do you know why they used dual tube rectifiers? I don't offhand, but I'm interested in the answer. I'll take a look at the schematic eventually and let you know if I have any relevant thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to look into that one. I'm just knowledgeable enough....so I'll find the schematic and check her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted March 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 Yeah, I'm seeing 525v? I think the OR120 was only 450v...... I really have no idea what I'm talking about.....just pulling the highest voltage off the schematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
