Re: The Doom Room: ILF Edition
Here is a question for the doom room:
So my bassist keeps blowing the fuses in amps. He owns an orange thunderverb 200. Last week at practice he blew another fuse and brought our other guitarists sunn 200s. Sure enough, it blows the fuse in that.
He plays either a fender jazz bass or a gibson RD bass. (it has happened with both guitars.)
His signal chain goes Guitar-->korg pitchblack tuner--> Verellen Big spider --> ernie ball vp Junior.
The amps turn on when we start practice, sometimes it blow as soon as he hits the on switch. Sometimes it isn;t until we start playing. I've been playing bass and guitar in bands for 18 years now, and i have never blown a fuse like this. He blows them all the time.
Could it be one of his pedals? He's on a second korg pitchblack (gave the other to our other guitarist), second volume pedal (i have his other). the big spider is really the only common pedal. could that do something?

Re: The Doom Room: ILF Edition
Wiring in the house perhaps?
Have you tried the amps elsewhere?
That might be it.

Re: The Doom Room: ILF Edition
we have considered it, but it has also happened at venues too. At the house we practice at it just seems weird it only blows his amp. Didn't blow the other guitarists amp and they were plugged into the same surge protector. Its just the weirdest thing.

Re: The Doom Room: ILF Edition
is he running the amp with the correct impedance, matching that of the cabs?

Re: The Doom Room: ILF Edition
I posted this in the "show your amps" thread... But I talked to you guys about it so I figured it could go in here too... Haha.
I ended up getting the 75' OR120 a couple of days ago.
The 72' pix only was very iffy to me because the output tranny was swapped out...
I'm VERY satisfied with this head though,
EQ is super responsive, lots of lowend,
Really loud. Stoked.
I still want to get a 70's SVT for the live rig though.

Re: The Doom Room: ILF Edition
Haven't ABY'd them yet, our jam got cancelled today, unfortunately!
BUT, the OR definitely has more low end to it.. The treble and bass knobs are a lot more responsive on it then the green.
Since the Green is a MVU, it's hard to make it loud on its own for bass without putting the master full and cranking the gain, which I didn't want to do really, I want pedal gain/dirt out of one amp, and clean tone out of the other.
I've only messed around with the OR for a couple of days on a small cab in my house so far though,
This week I'll be hooking it up to an 810 and the Green to a 215.
Just all around very warm sounding amps, I'm very satisfied with both and haven't played anything like either of them before.
I plan on setting them up better to compliment each other, probably the OR on the bassier settings.
Like I said up there, probably for live I want to get a 70's SVT and use it for the clean bass power and the OR for the dirty/gainy sound overtop.
