So can I run it into my blackstar cab with it having 2 speakers?

Into the 16 ohm mono jack and turn the switch to 8ohm on the amp?

If you plug everything into everything else and turn it up super loud you'll get the secret tone that John Lennon used on Eruption.

Was racing towards the end of the thread to post similar advice, although I'd pop a delay pedal in the chain too.

i love this thing so much. I know you probably going to be buried with it but if not I'll sell half my collection for it. I did it already once for my 99AVRI i can do it again.

Ah rob, one day you will get to play it I hope. It now has a rails pickup in. Going to try it with the band to see how hums work with us.

Yeah, it sounded great tonight. Very happy with the amp/speaker. So loud I kept having to turn down.


The weight of the thing is fucker though!

You’ll get beefcake from carrying it around though. Maybe a cool looking harness for holding in your hernia.

Is it the 212 ones that have the additional handles at either end of the top?

I've thought about adding cabinet style handles to the side of my Jet City 212 to make it easier to lift on top of cabs etc. Otherwise, it's on casters so just sort of gets wheeled about the place.

Nice score Hurb. I've also picked up something Vox a couple months back... Need to do a NAD post at the weekend.

A colleague gave me thirty apples one day and I carried them home in an empty amp case as I could not find a sturdy enough bag.

If it's as heavy as a Twin, I learned to proper lift with that thing. Squat down, hug the amp, then stand up. It's not that terrible once you get the hang of it. I'm a little dude but I can carry the Twin without too much trouble that way.
