Q. For SteveD re the VM sweet spot.
Posted: 01 Oct 2011, 05:49
This thread is open to anyone really.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the way old school valve amps reach a certain point on the MV or volume dial where you get controlled feedback and warms up tonewise with the notes sustaining into feedback. I don't know what the technical term is for this.
Anyway, with my 2266 and 1960b 300w 8 ohm cab the sweet spot came on at 7 on the MV. But since I changed to my 1960BHW 120w 16 ohm cab it doesn't seem to reach this spot.
The G12h's sound much better but I can't seem to get the same effect anymore.
I wondered if the different ohm setting affects how the amp behaves, or maybe I've got to crank it much louder.
Any ideas?
