Advice needed about Marshall Cabs!?
I have recently bought a 100watt Peavey Valveking head but don't like the tone of it through the peavey cab that you're 'supposed' to use with it. I tried it out with a Marshall cab and it sounded much warmer and rounded but I want to clarify details on which cab I should get and how to set the ohms on the amp and cab so that I won't fry anything!
I think I am going to buy the Marshall MG412 angled cab. Would this be suitable for this amp? Thanks.Advice needed about Marshall Cabs!?
Stock cabs, like stock pickups, tend to kinda blow. I prefer to experiment with different cabs and go with the one I like best! Different speakers bring out different tonal characteristics, and good speakers actually help improve your tone!
The Marshal MG412 is okay, but there are better ones out there, imho. Of course, not everyone can drop 600$+ for a cab, though! I really like the 1960a cabs... the Celestion G12T-75's are one of the best speakers for rock, in my opinion - the high wattage rating keeps them from breaking up, they have a lot of clarity, and not so much treble that they sound hissy.
If you have a couple hundred dollars, I urge you to check out avatar speakers (I think that's the right link below... from memory... google if I'm wrong!). They make custom cabs that are in general far better than the ones you can buy, on a dollar for dollar basis.
You also might want to consider just replacing the speakers, although admittedly this can be just as expensive and you kinda have to know what you're doing. A good, and relatively inexpensive, site is listed below.
There is a bit of misinformation or ignorance about how to correctly hook up a tube amp to a cab out there, but I'll try to explain the guidelines as I understand them.
The simplest rule is to match impedances. If the cab has an 8 ohm impedance, use the 8 ohm out on your amp. Its that easy - matching impedances gives you the maximum possible transfer of power between your amp and your speakers.
The safest thing is that if you aren't sure, then to go from a low impedance out to a higher impedance cab. In other words, if you only have an 8 ohm out but a 16 ohm cab, then that is safe.
This is an impedance thing - going into a higher impedance reduces the energy transferred a little (so slightly lower volume, barely perceptible in my experience), but gives you a little more higher frequency response, ie, it should brighten things up a little.
Technical stuff: the reason why passive pickups have tone sucking issues is partly because of cable capacitance, but a lot of it has to do with impedance. Going into a higher impedance (10x higher is the standard) in audio terms means you keep all of your voltage, although you lose current. When talking audio signals, though, you don't count current, since DC is blocked by capacitors in your audio circuits anyways. Soooo.... going into a higher impedance means you lose some power transfer, but you lose a little less voltage, and that means higher signal fidelity. This can be good or bad, honestly, it depends on your rig and your speakers. Many amps/tubes like to be pushed a little harder, so a little more impedance isn't a big issue.
The disadvantage of this is that it puts more resistance on your power tubes (the output transformer and the power tubes have to dissipate a little more heat). If your tubes are low-quality, this *may* reduce their lifespan a little. It shouldn't, but to err on the side of caution it is best to use good quality power tubes and to always keep a backup set on hand.
On the other hand, it is more stressful on your amp to go into a *lower* impedance. This means the amp will deliver less voltage but more current, and this can *definitely* place a toll on the power tubes and output transformer. I do not recommend this - sure, most amps are designed well enough to handle this type of load, but to be on the safe side, higher impedances are okay, lower impedances are not, matching impedances are ';standard';.
Briefly, about impedances - speaker impedance is kinda like an ';average';. Some frequencies will have higher impedances then others, and that's what creates the frequency response! So at some frequencies the amp will see hundreds of ohms, at others only a few... something to keep in mind....
One of the most important things for tube amps, in my opinion, is to use your standby switch! Flip it onto standby for at least 30 sec (60-90 is better) so the tubes have a chance to warm up before you turn your power on. Likewise for powering down - go to standby for at least 30 seconds before you turn it all the way off. This babies the tubes, and helps them last longer. Beyond that, if you walk away from your amp and don't plan on using it for at least 10-15 minutes, then put it on standby.
I love the standby switch - I've accidentally left my Mesa Tremoverb on standby overnight, but its not really an issue - the tubes are getting less power and aren't really doing any work, so it doesn't hurt them.
The most, most, most important thing is to never turn your amp on without it being plugged in to a speaker!!! This places a *huge* strain on them, and can easily damage both them and the output transformer.
Hmm. I think I've gone on long enough. Good luck!

Any retired solicitors that can help me with the csa..cab too busy. iwant free advice have lots of questions.?
Advice is ALWAYS worth what you pay for it ..
.. and when it comes to legal issues,'free advice' is likley to end you with YOU in Court :-)
RE: CAB .. yes they are very very busy. Ring up and make an appointment (expect to wait a few weeks) OR turn up at least an hour before they open (most see 'drop in' cases in the morning, apointments in the afternoon ..
Most will see a maximum of 3 people per adviser per morning, and most have no more than 4 advisers .... so if there are a dozen or more people already waiting in the queue, chnaces are they will never get around to you that day .. so try gain tomorrow, 2 hours early ..Any retired solicitors that can help me with the csa..cab too busy. iwant free advice have lots of questions.?
Do you give away what you sell????????

Need advice on having lost my cellphone in a cab without my dad getting more pissed off?
So... I've lost about two cellphones in the past
1.) While horseback riding
2.) During the terry fox run
and.. i think my third one i lost yesterday
The last cellphone I lost during the terry fox run was my brother's who borrowed it to me when he went to america, and i lost it a week after.
Now, In the morning of yesterday, my dad gave me a comment never to ride taxis.
However, at about night, It was pouring rain like crazy, the bus stop was ages away, i was carrying a violin, sheet music, and a bag full of books, and there was a taxi right in front of me so i rode it. AND THEN I LEFT MY PHONE IN THE CAR. I took out my phone to pretend to call my mom cause there was no batteries in it, but i figured there was less chance of getting kidnapped this way.
and so my brother is gonna kill me for losing his second phone, my dad is going to kill me for losing my third phone,
and if the taxi driver decides to return the phone, then the taxi authorities CALL MY DAD TO GO GET MY PHONE. so either way, I get killed for losing the phone or almost losing the phone %26gt;%26lt;
so should i break the news to my dad, who just got mad at me in the morning over my lack of responsibility on some stupid reason, or just pray that the cellphone is miraculously in my bag?
god..im so screwed either way.Need advice on having lost my cellphone in a cab without my dad getting more pissed off?
You should call the cab company that you used that night and let them know that you left your cell phone in one of their cabs. Give them a detailed description of the phone complete with any little blemishes that you would use to recognize that it is yours. It may have already been collected and placed in their lost and found area. You'd be surprised at how many cell phones are left in cabs. Some people recover them, others don't, but if yours is there, then go get it and your father won't have to know anything about the incident.

I need good advice on a amp.....i big combo or a half cab!?
I just need to know what should i get.....but i have a limited price range......so nothing like the xxx peaveys......any ideas?I need good advice on a amp.....i big combo or a half cab!?
what is your price range?
check this out
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/M鈥?/a>
i love that marshall tone, you could also checkout some of the other amps on that website, see what you can get for your price range.
i would probably get a half stack because it would be eaisier to upgrade and get a new head if you need more power laterI need good advice on a amp.....i big combo or a half cab!?
Unless this is your first amp then don't get a combo. You may like it at first, but you will wish you had gone with a cab later.
Check out ebay, always good deals. They have new gear as well as used.

I am flying to Rome & need advice on # of Euros to bring to get 50 miles further to ship by train or cab.?
If you use the trains, you can get by with 25 to 30 euro, but you might want more just in case. I would agree with the other answer that 50 euro would be a reasonable minimum amount to have, but by exchanging very small amounts you won't get a good deal. At the least, you can get an espresso and a brioche along the way somewhere.
The port is at Civitavecchia. Transfer by car/cab from either of the airports is pretty expensive - 100 euro or more depending on the company and the number of people transported. The most economical way to get to the port is by train. If you're flying into Fiumicino airport, there's a train between the airport and the Roma Termini station. The trains run every half hour, take 31 minutes to reach Roma Termini and cost 11 euro. See below for the trains from Roma Termini to Civitavecchia.
The airport shuttles from Ciampino to the port at Civitavecchia are the most convenient way to go, but are fairly expensive. http://www.airportshuttle.it/rates.htm
There are several companies that provide this service in addition to the link provided.
It's much cheaper to take the bus (Terravision bus - costs 8 euro) or train (shuttle bus to the Ciampino station 1 euro, 5 min and train to Roma Termini 1.30 euro, 15 min) from the airport to Roma Termini train station and then taking the train to Civitavecchia. You can check specific schedules here: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html The regional trains take an 1 hr 4 min to 1 hr 18 min and cost 4.50 euro. There are a few trains during the day that take about 50 minutes, but cost more (Intercity 8.50 euro, Eurostar 10 euro).
The train station in Civitavecchia is about a 10 minute walk or a short cab ride from the station. When you get to the entrance to the port, there are free shuttles to the various docks.I am flying to Rome %26amp; need advice on # of Euros to bring to get 50 miles further to ship by train or cab.?
Well... the exchange rate is $1.59 to the Euro as of this morning and you need about 50 Euros of walking around money, so you need to spend about $80 for Euros.hand lotion
