What's the purpose of the p/u covers there? Purely cosmetic, or do they help in the shielding?

These are maybe some of the better links i found.. if i get better ones, ill post asap.

Im using the AD200 MK3 with 410 and 115. The 15 is at the top right now.

If anyone wants to teach me how to post pics for easier viewing.. lemme know.

All I did was right clicked on the picture, selected "copy image location", and inserted in the middle of this code "(img) (/img)." Clicking Ã¢â‚¬Å“add pictureÃ¢â‚¬

1 thing im confused about a little bit... I see you plugged in the 4x10 cab into the 1x15.. then ran it into the 8 ohm jack it looks like.. is that OK to do??? I always was under the impression that you had to plug one cab into the 8 ohm jack.. and if you had 2 cabs.. you split the load by connecting them up to the 4 ohm jacks... someone help me out!

Funny how Oranges stick out like a sore thumb! Nice pics

ok maybe im an idiot.

The 15 says its an 8 ohm cab. so i have the amp connected from the 8 ohm output to the 15 (8ohm) to the 410. The 410 inputs arent marked as anything specific.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

mpisarcik thanks for the lesson!

i'm trying to do it now.. but i have an imac.. so its maybe a little different.. or again, i'm dumb.

Bassdrop: the thing on top is some sort of old amp named "Kasino".. have no idea what it is whatsoever..

knucklebones: Nope.. I'm no trekky! I didn't do anything to that wall.. at all..

Irish admiral: Originally the PU-covers reduced noice.. if i recall correctly..

But you're not wrong to wonder, because...

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">The Orange 410 should be an 8 ohm cab too. Running the two in parallel (as you are by daisy chaining them) will give a total load of 4 ohms, so you really should be plugging into a 4 ohm amp output as Ceddy was thinking.

It's always best to match impedances properly with valve amps. But at least if you are going to mis-match you are better doing it the way you did, with the load being lower then the output you used. Rather then having a higher impedance load then the amp output you are using. So you shouldn't have done any damage, but you will be safer using the 4 ohm out in the future. The amp will probably sound a little tighter, and you'll not wear out your power valves as fast

Well spotted Ceddy. Good call!

Good guide to the whole impedance thing:

ceddy and andy!

thank you gentleman..

I will run the two cabs in parallel out of the 4 ohm outputs next time!

i cant believe you spotted how i had it rigged ceddy.. good eyes!

The DS-1 looks like it's a Keeley mod....

Yea good call... but thats pretty bad on my part haha! Pretty bad that the first thing I notice is how you have your amp wired... I think I should get my head checked!
