Thanks for your answer! In an ideal world, that's what I'd do, but I'll probably get something mail order to try out, based on a recommendation from someone here. I've watched some YouTube of the CryBaby and the Vox and they both seem ok to me - I'm just wondering about the different models and...

I think it's possible, but you can't move your head.

I want a new wah pedal. I have an old George Dennis optical wah pedal I bought off a mate when I was a teenager and it sounds like shit. Now, I'm a crappy guitar player, but I'd like to be able to play some wah noise in my songs when I want. I just don't know what to get. Crybaby, Vox. Probably...

It says it's 'manufacturer refurbished'?

You can find lots of good impulses for free online as well. Not suggesting you shouldn't be doing what you're doing, but for those units and spaces you can't produce yourself, there are lots out there for the taking. You could consider building a library of your own impulses up and making them...

What I was thinking was of using something like the Mass 200 with a 2x12 in my little studio room. I can go quite loud, but not JCM800 loud! My difficulty with my iso box setup is dialling in a sound and micing the cab well without being able to hear what the amp sounds like. So, I was thinking...

Presumably, as you turn the dial, it reduces the power output, so you could use lower rated speakers in conjunction with one of these boxes. Any idea if this is the case and how much reduction there is? Is it something you could measure?

Ha, I think it's way beyond that, even just from the two posts I've seen.

Take the measurements and tabulate the results. Then you'll know for sure. You're never going to have anything other than 4, 8 or 16 ohm cabs to worry about anyway, presumably, so it's not a huge task to be sure you won't blow anything up.

My crappy kit came with these plastic donut things that just take the edge off the sound quite nicely. They fit just perfectly in the cymbal case.

Ah, I thought it was presenting a solid 16 ohm laod, no matter the setting or cab. I'd be trying your different load cabs and turning the dial and measuring the presented loads. Write up (or make a spreadsheet of) your measurements for different cab loads at various dial settings - then you can...

And if you have a 4 ohm cab attached, probably best not to hit bypass!

I'm thinking of it like this. If there's no cab attached, the Weber thing presents a 16 ohm load. If a 4 ohm cab is attached, it adds 12 ohm load to make 16, if an 8 ohm cab is attached, it adds 8 ohms, and so on. That might not be exactly the inner workings, but I'm guessing that's an...

I think you need to set your amps to 16ohm and can run any cab, as long as it's not bypassed. In bypass mode, you'll be wanting to make sure the amp and cab are matched as usual. That's my understanding of all of this so far.

Even if there is 0db headroom, the mastering engineer can reduce the gain on the track input to bit shift it all down at his end. Whether s/he or you does that, it makes no difference. The fidelity lost is probably not noticeable. The numbers equate to spl and frequencies of sound come from the...

My reading of the Weber email is the same as the Lt's. It seems to me they're saying as long as it's not bypassed, it will always present the same load, no matter the cab rating.

It'd probably blow your ears too.

I've often wondered what a speaker mounted in a drum shell would sound like.

My 1-watters say it's fine to have no load in 0.1W mode, but not in full 1W mode. Saw this today: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1165874210/the-pole-position-sliding-pickup-guitar/video_share?ref=video

I am of the firm opinion that all the Russ Andrews twaddle regarding running in cables and directional interconnects is bullshit and nonsense (interestingly, some experiments show that people cannot tell the difference between the sound from a high-end speaker cable and a line of wire coat...
