Weird enough, but this is true... the placement of the speaker may be a huge difference. When I had the Marshall JCM800 1987 I could dial in sweet Gilmour like tones on acceptable home levels not using an attenuator... then I placed it back against another wall and the amp totally "died". It sounded flat and transistor like. Same room, same furniture, same settings, same guitar, different placement.Dave W wrote:This may sound stupid, but does it do it when you have the cab in the middle of the room?
You will be getting sound waves bouncing off that wall back into the cab as its close to the wall.
I have a wall on the inside of my closet that vibrates even when my Vintage Modern sits in my room. Took me days to figure out that as when cranked the buzz sounded like it was from the amp. Good Luck!
2x12? If so 2x12 in series? If you have 2x12 in series with 16ohm total, disconnect one speaker (make sure the ends don't short circuit) and use it as 8ohm. If you are unsure, measure the resistance. You'll not see 8ohm exactly but thereabout...xmacvicar wrote:The avatar cab I have is 16ohm. This amp has options for 8 and 4 ohm only. I am still unsure if its safe to run the 16ohm avatar cab in the back?
Thanks JK....JkGriffin wrote:From what I can read you have two choices here...
1. You have a great amp... enjoy it. Just keep the lessons here in mind the next time...
2. Go back and ask for a discount as the speaker needed replacement. Tell him that a V30 can handle a 50W amp. You shouldn't expect a full V30 in discount as you are replacing an old speaker in an old amp with a brand new speaker... but...
Regardless... you have got yourself a great amp... the important thing is to keep that in mind and enjoy it.
