best thing to do is to play through a few
Now SS amps I'd be lost other then I hate Edens and like SWR and Trace... I have only owned one all SS amp which was a pignose hog30...

hurm. the Traynor i'm looking at has 1/4 inch outs. is it a huge thing to change those to speakons? i prefer thems for the not mixing up with guitar cables/locked in safety goodness.

murrrrrrr?

I have no problem with my amps using 1/4 speaker outs, I just have a very different looking speaker cable so I know what's up.

+1. the mid mid-freq setting sounds like a stuck wah if you push the mids knob all the way up.

Probably.

That's what I was going to suggest,...or an adapter.



I don't see the wiring being a big deal,...but the chassis would have to modified to accommodate for the bigger jack.

What do Speakons do, and do they make a difference?

Yeah, are they basically the same, but they lock?

nothing more than a good speaker cable. they just lock in which makes me feel all giggly and comfy, and the different ends make sure you're not going to accidentally use an instrument cable instead of a speaker cable.

Solid connection. I have had 1/4 inch cables work their way out of cabinetry.

Speakons are always made from the appropriate gauge cable for speaker cable use, so it's not even possible to buy a POS speaker cable if you are sticking with Speakon.

Nuetrik makes solid connectors and as far as I can tell Neutrik is the only company that makes the Speakon cable, so again not easy to buy a shitty cable.

And there is no chance to mistake an instrument cable for a speaker cable (I've done that and ruined my night).

speaker cables instead of instrument cables are basically a litmus test of your ability to not be a retard.

Of course, my speaker cables have green housing at each jack to prevent any mix ups--I have also been known to wear a helmet when showering.

oog. i need all the help i can GET during setup. i get a bit frazzled before the first note drops, that's where all my nervousness is. so laying out a pedalboard and wiring up my rig and helping whoever else in the band that needs it........ yah. anything that can be made simplah HELPS.

........ i might want to borrow your helmet sometime.

I think you get a pass if you do it once, If you do it more than once; here's your sign.

To further my defense; back then I didn't know there was difference between instrument and speaker cables (no one bothered to tell me and we didn't have the internets back back).

Yeah,...I have never really mixed it up since then. My current speaker cables are way shorter than any of my instrument cables,...the gauge is heavier and the screw on shaft portion of the plug (whatever that shit is called,....cover? IDK?) are a wider diameter that that of the instrument cables. Hard to fuck up.
