Another thing, the speaker outputs on the back are one each 4, 8, and 16 ohm. My Emperors (16ohm) can be daisy chained off of each other so would that make running from the 16 ohm on the amp into one cab and then out of that cab into the other one still be at 16 ohm? Or would it be 8? I never daisy chain them because my Soldano has two speaker jacks and a selectable ohm switch.

Daisy chaining cabs via parallel outputs halves the impedance. So 2 16ohm cabs daisy chained would make an 8 ohm load.

Got it. With my Soldano I always hooked each one to the amp and put the selector to 8 ohms. Wasn't sure if that would be basically the same thing or not.

It's the exact same mentality just different place to plug in your second cab.

I would totally name a band Scroll Keeper.

Sounds fucking great!

czech seems hard to really learn much about unless your super dedicated. i don't speak more than a couple of words. you just kind of get where you recognize languages you've been around a bunch even if you don't know them. i've been to czech republic probably 6 or 8 times at least from touring europe. the band i used to work for most doing guitar and stage tech work always rented their vehicle and gear from a spot in prague so we always had a few days at the beginning and the end of tour to hang out there. it was pretty awesome. i once tried to buy coke from some dude on the street there and it turned out to be fake and that was real disappointing, but i probably didn't need any coke anyway. another time i got lost on the train trying to go see the bone church and that was real weird i saw some really crazy eastern czech post soviet towns and it was cool. last time i was there i got attacked by a parrot while i was drunk at one in the afternoon and it really fucked my finger up. long story, but you've always got to be careful when you're drunk in the middle of the day, no matter where you are.

EDIT TO ADD: you'll be fine visiting prague without knowing czech. pretty english friendly there. just don't expect that in the rest of czech. my advice would be to not buy drugs on the street; always check with the bartenders about what to pay for cab fare, cause the cabbies will rip you the fuck off for real; be very wary of any tropical birds that you see, and do not under any circumstances fail to pay your subway fare, even if the machine that takes your fare is broken. walk around a bunch. go see a show a 007, the best underground venue in prague; and enjoy the food, have a cheeseburger, which in czech is a burger made of cheese, not one with cheese on it; and enjoy the company of czech and slovakian women if you can, or at least the sight of them.

Rad stories and such good advice.

class D amps sound like poopoo to me anyways. . . ive never found a class D I liked, for guitar, bass, pro audio, or car stereos.

ill only run class D for subs because they seem to have this like "brilliance" that pisses me off when ran rull range. disgusting.

and fuck china garbage, fuck it in the ass.

also conky you could try a kt-77 as a drop in and bias replacement for el-34s?

I love 34s mids but miss the bass of 6550s or 88s apparently those are suppose to be a nice mix. :gizz:

Holy fuck, I couldn't begin to imagine what kind of car stereo rigs you have/had.

Is that all amp dirt? Sounds amazing and I was surprised at how well it cleaned up.

After being obsessed with the flanging in the Uncle Acid albums, I impulse bought'd an old MIJ Arion. I had one a few years ago and sold it for no real reason. This one is just as thick and syrupy as I remember. Plus it's pretty much impossible to get the Van Halen jet swooshys, which is nice. And you can get some really clangy fixed filter tones by turning the rate all the way off. The only problem is it causes a huge volume boost when any dirt is on in front of it. Need to try it pre dirt and see if the same thing happens. Glad to have some flange back.

Nah, I've got the Black Forest in front of it. It stays pretty clean on its own. I imagine with a retube it will get a little bit dirtier. I haven't pulled the preamp tubes yet but the guy I got it off of said it was all JJs.

I'm seeing Sleep tomorrow.

[misterstomach]

that matamp sounds fucking killer. holy shit. good job.

Holy fuck, I couldn't begin to imagine what kind of car stereo rigs you have/had.

my car stereos are pretty damn modest. I like to run matching component sets, 2 4 channel amps and at least 2 12s in a properly built / tuned box. I can usually get FLAT down to 20hz in a car. im much more into mobile hifi then just outbassing everyone. but at the moment im in a single cab fucking tiny Dakota so all I have is 1 comp set and 2 8s

someday ill get a van and have room for a modest car stereo and my not so modest rig

:edit: conky dat tone

and Trey be watching for a package from me
