If you ever use a guitar that sounds muddy, try some EL84s in place of the Ruskies Military units. It'll brighten right up and add chime.

Hey guys thanks for the comments.

I'm not a fan of V30's. But I didn't know that when I built the cabinet. I had heard them in a TopHat and thought it was wonderful.

I still like TopHats.


I'm looking at an Avatar 4x12...2 Greenbacks and 2 G12-H30's.



Also... I have previously, but do not currently, play in a band. I do intend on making songs and distributing music......later. However, what's getting in my way right now is a real job that's paying for the equipment. Anyone in NWA wanna demo an amp and jam?

That Avatar cab and combo of speakers will be a better match for that amp. V30s can sound good with a dark amp, but with anything bright, it'll accentuate the brutal upper mids and highs of the V30.

I've been wearing ear plugs...with the volume at 1 oclock my strat will randomly oscillate/feedback if I'm within 6 feet or so.

It has also shown me that many of my guitars are in desperate need of grounding work.

Yep, I had to pot the pickups in any of my guitars I use with my Wrecks. Even pickups that were "factory potted" had to be done again with a more thorough dipping. Two cords (or 40' of wire) helps though, as that takes a little top off right there.

That's something to think about.


If you don't mind my asking, how long is your *speaker* cable?

I assume you mean guitar cable is 40ft.



also, if you have guitar volume all the way up, at what level does distortion start? Is it distorted right off idle?

Thanks
