^^ I was about to mention above or if you needed a backup get something like a nova system or multi fix pedal and go direct to a pa with a monitor coming back at you. I wouldn't want to risk running different heads and speakers that don't match.

I wouldn't. just Google hit rod deluxe manual and it has all the info and diagrams in there. Not sure what wattage the speaker is. speakers are normally rated much higher than the amp but I still wouldn't put it through.

It's not hard wired it is fitted with an input jack as there is another input jack next to it to run an extension cab. When my hot rod came the speaker cable was out slightly so had to give it a push back in. It's 8 ohms tho so need to make sure your little head can do 8 ohms so you don't fuck the speaker and/or head.

You've decided to go back to a fender?

Sounding good?

Polytune gone

Bump

Yeah I'm off over the weekend.

I love the tone of my amp so why colour it. An overdrive is only to boost the tubes into.......overdrive, so the tone should remain the same just more broken up and increased gain stage as the tubed are driven harder. Distortion and fuzz are there to make a difference in tone that's why we have them. Just my opinion.

^^^^ perfect

Agree with Brett and Bigsby also. I have a clean boost but it doesn't mean it only boosts your clean tone. I got rid of my ts9 as it coloured my tone too much and went with the bb preamp instead. Far more transparent. If I use my clean boost with the overdrive kicked in then it just gives an extra few db in volume. I set my amp with midrange anyway cos wouldn't you want your guitar cutting through those frequencies without needing a tubescreamer or only for solos? Seems to me also that people always underestimate a volume knob on the guitar. doesn't have to aalways be full save some for a boost.

I agree blades are fantastic guitars. Used to have an rh4 and still one of the best guitars I ever owned. Will get another one some day.

Bought it new but had a bargain on it. Come around and try if you wish. Pick it up first choice before any other atm.

Sold

Just picked up my first g&l a few weeks back and it's the best tele I have ever played. Absolutely stunning. But it is Leo fender anyway.

I'm based just off king street mate or can drop at music hall most days. It will say on the cab what ohms it is then just match the impedance from the head.

Don't try every combination as that could fuck the head completely if the ohms are wrong. The ohms should match your cabs. I'll take a look that's no problem. If you can get it into Aberdeen that is.

Are the settings all correct on the back first. Cos can't the head be run at 50 and 100 watts by selecting the modes at the back. Plus is the impedance setting right to match your cabs, make sure if is so it don't fry either the speakers or output transformer. Check those out. If not bring it this way and I can have a check to see if it's tubes etc as I should have a few kicking around somewhere. Just do a quick process of elimination on it.

Hi guys.

Where in Aberdeen do they currently do paying acoustic gigs and where are the current open mic nights? Side project from the band is doing an acoustic duo so just looking to get out there and play.

Cheers

The polytune 2 looks great! Does anyone own one? The hof is on my list of things to get later on.

I have one. It's a tuner pedal same as most the others. I don't use the strum feature as you can only then one tuning peg a time anyway.

The software that comes with the hof is great. I started to build a bit of tc stuff into my rig as there are endless possibilities to the sounds you can create. Yet during a set I can use the spring, hall and room settings with very little tweaking depending on song.

I look back to when I was younger and realise how much of a dick I was. I used to play gigs in venues the size of practice room 4 in toms and take a peavey 5150 and 2 4x12s. 100 watts to me these days is ridiculous. But disagree with the space issue as my head and 2 1x12 would take up less space than a fender twin combo for etc. Now even the 30 watts I have is louder than I need. I will always use my head when gigging tho otherwise it's no point spending so much money to get the tone you want, then not use it. Tubes all the way for me. Until I need to change all 9 at once.

Hughes and kettner tubemeister 5 watt head or combo. High quality build and also has the red box di out which is fantastic as you can record and play silently. I use the feature on my egnater every evening. Come 8pm I feel guilty being in my cabs so hook up the record out into my little mixing desk and play with headphones and can keep the amp settings the same to keep the same tone.
