  1. I don't like that cab or the speakers it comes with (and yes, I've used the speakers "broken in" and such, lol...it has nothing to do with that...) But I don't like the Ultra Plus either though. It's all personal preference. So if you like the cab, be happy.
  2. sarcasm? its actually a culminating project paper. Its going to involve my internship at THD, but i have to write a paper on the subject before i do the internship:confused: so its an uninformed mishmash of shitty shit. any tips? haha I'd recommend not choosing a subject for which solid information is difficult to find (as HoL pointed out in his own way). My bet is that coming to HC to ask about this isn't going to get you anything you can sink your teeth into...just like that paper about NAMM. If you're saying THD told you to write a paper about this specific subject, I'd be a bit surprised.
  3. I predict this paper will get you really good grades.
  4. Originally posted by indespise And let's think back to what western society was 1000 years ago...... Most of Europe was basically the same as an Islamic fundamentalist state, but Christianity was in power. That's not a world I want to live in. I'll tell you a world you DO want to live in--a world with MY AMPS!!!
  5. People, people, PEOPLE!!! You've gotten so far off topic, do you even remember what this thread is really about?!?!?? Originally posted by DeathMonkey So I am ordering a Peters Custom Dual Channel it looks like. It's about me.
  6. Originally posted by favata5 Could someone please explain to me why legislation couldnt get passed to ban flag burning but its ok in some states for Homosexuals to be married and in most schools children cant say God?? What the hell has happened?? Makes me wish I could turn the clocks back to the ol fashioned times..you know when God mattered,and men worked while the women stayed home and took care of the domestic jazz,and children had a monny and a daddy! Today its just getting twisted it used to be Adam and Eve in the Bible,,whats next Adam and Steve???? Wrong forum. You're looking for Open Jam. Thank you and have a nice day.
  7. Originally posted by xiwiwix ...it seems the further you go back the Mark series gets more aggressive. Ha ha! Maybe in the case of the Mark IV vs the Mark III, but that's about it.
  8. Ah well, no biggie. The PT is probably ok, I'd say you have better than a 50% chance of that anyway. The fuse most likely saved the PT. The output transformer could've taken stress from this too though, not that I want to worry you (I'd say the OT is probably still ok), but if an arc happens that means the OT has seen considerably higher voltages than normal. As for the rest--if you can replace the sockets that arced, that's best. If not, carbon might be under the socket (as well as on top), and depending on the material it could be through the material from pin to pin. So replacement is recommended. Cleaning with a wire brush might work but some carbon might remain and the next set of tubes could fail sooner or later. The screen grid resistors should be checked for sure. You can follow the screen pin's connection to the resistors on the board (probably 470 ohms each) and check them with a meter. Good luck.
  9. Originally posted by mule73 Well, I was messing around w/ some different speaker cabs, got careless and took it off standby with no speakers attached. Big blue arc around one of the tube sockets(power tube), blew a fuse. Replaced the fuse and now it blows the fuse everytime I take it off standby.AAARRRGGGHHH! I am SO STOOPID!!! :mad: :( :cry: I'd say to replace the output tubes and try again. Then, perhaps the screen grid resistors blew, and/or the output sockets got carbon traces from the arcs on them. The power transformer is the last thing in this case I'd suspect (although it is possible). And if that damage happened as you described, you'd only be solving the symptom by replacing the PT, *if* the PT had died. The cause has to be fixed, which is new tubes, possibly new sockets, and possibly new screen grid resistors. If you don't take care of the rest of this, the new PT would die as well.
  10. At the risk of sounding like a very broken record... Have you tried new tubes yet? Irrespective of whether they were new or not too, because new tubes do fail often. And then the fuses too.
  11. Originally posted by SkidMarx FWIW - James, I do occassionaly poke fun at our northern neighbors and do get annoyed sometimes at you guys, just as I do with lifelong friends and family mebers. But I will be the first to admit and acknowledge that Canada has fought bravely and died alongside Americans repeatedly through our nations history(this time around notwithstanding). Thanx. I wish I could accept thanks, but I haven't fought in any wars. I will however keep that sentiment in mind when Remembrance Day rolls around. Originally posted by Loghead I would like to thank James for living in a country that has so many pine trees. You're quite welcome. They do smell nice don't they.
  12. Originally posted by Roccaforte Amps James, I'm not "pissing" on Canada, just its government. The government here certainly isn't perfect, but that still doesn't have much to do with what you were speaking earlier. You were referring to military decisions, conquests more specifically.
  13. Originally posted by Roccaforte Amps those are very small numbers. I think the main point thats getting lost here, the US is the only country that has put major effort into liberating other countries. Sorry, but Canada has never come close. They have helped, but IMO it was miniscule. Population of Canada vs. population of the USA might have something to do with how many soldiers we can afford to send out for "liberating other countries". I didn't realize this was a pissing contest...especially since I thought your point was actually that "the Canadian military hasn't done {censored} to really help anyone else in the world in a very long time". I'm not saying that some of the USA's military actions haven't been beneficial to other countries, but to piss all over what Canada has done is either pointless or just plain insulting. And what you call "liberating other countries" might not be viewed as such all over the world in every situation, don't forget.
  14. Originally posted by Roccaforte Amps yeah, past. Um, present too. Originally posted by Roccaforte Amps I do like Canada, and its people, I have lots of canadian friends. I won't insult them, but the Canadian military hasn't done {censored} to really help anyone else in the world in a very long time. And just how is that not insulting to Canadians, Doug? http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/peacekeeping/missions-en.asp
  15. Originally posted by 17 Tubes Unfortunately, Canada is even worse than the USA in honoring that sacrifice. Keep spewing nonsense. It really helps your argument.
  16. Originally posted by PlayboyChris Pretty strong words coming from a pacifist, JBT. That's ok. He's just copying a Canadian who said it anyway, as a joke. (And that's the truth.)
  17. Originally posted by PlayboyChris Considering that by the time we take Canada dissenters like you will be silenced and confined to detention camps, it absolutely will be a cakewalk. You'd know all about detention camps, wouldn't you.
  18. Originally posted by Randy Van Sykes Vladimir! the sleeper cell!!! Hey dood, I sent you a package of whale blubber, using Terrance and Phillip Express Courier. It'll arrive at your igloo Monday. Check your e-mail for the tracking number and more details. I tried calling you yesterday (by cupping my hands, putting them in front of my mouth and yelling), but you weren't home.
  19. Originally posted by PlayboyChris When your country is a frozen wasteland with a penchant for wimpery that no nation in its right mind would want to take possession of, there's no need for national defense because there's nothing to defend. Hey Sean, can I come over to your igloo today? I'll take my dog sled. See you in 5 minutes.
  20. Originally posted by Roccaforte Amps they're covering it up, its a huge embarrassment. Hardly, because I can only speak for myself, right? And I can comment on whatever I want, just like you can evidently comment on whatever you want.
  21. Originally posted by Roccaforte Amps All jokes aside, there is some truth in this. The real truth isn't about a country demonstrating the ability to take power but the desire to take power. The ability comes from the desire.
  22. Originally posted by Stratotone BTW, macmax, what nationality are you? You come across as american at times (using the 'we' like you're one of us) and then you identify with other countries too. which is it? Yeah, explain it to Pete so he can tell you "USA--love it or leave it!"
  23. Originally posted by TheDirtyCat I dont know about SRV but i think herdrix was pretty wasted on drugs most the time when he played live. I dont think this guy was.... And, the argument will continue forever until everyone who cannot play that fast will have overwhelmed the thread with complaints.
