so honeymoon over with micro terror
So the buzz with p90's is annoying and it get pretty loud with a high volume. Usable at low level like tv volumes but anything above is horrible. Tried a few different sockets around the house and the same.
Just tried the headphone out. Oh dear absolute rubbish! Loads more gain too which is like a horrible thin buzzing. The worse headphone out I've heard ever!
Tried through a 112 cab with a v30 and was quite full sounding but obviously lacks tube warmth.
Overall I would say its great for tv level playing with the tone at noon and maybe at 11 but any other settings are really muffled or like a boss ds1 with gain maxed and the tone on full.
Didn't want to admit it but my cube absolutely kills this amp on any setting. The rock tone at low level is good bit otherwise I've lost interest.

Maybe the preamp tube is no good?

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
Swapped it with my spare jj and tried a microphonic one and all the same.
I haven't tried with humbuckers so I can't tell how noisy it would be. YouTube reviews don't mention any hissing but haven't seen one tested with p90s tho.
My guitar was practically silent with the bugera and also brilliant with the cube. I'm gonna double check the electrics to make sure as it don't cause much for a bad earth.

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
yikes, thats a bummer. At least its just a little amp and you dont have a hudge amount of money tied into it, but then again if your not going to use it that money would be better in your pocket. The cube is pretty good for what it is, hard to beat it. I have one but my daughter punched holes in the speaker when she was little, so its basically useless at this point.

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
There's something special about the cube speaker because any external cab I plug into my modded cube it sounds worse. If I get time I might hook the micro terror to the cube speaker and see what it does. That speaker seems to add massive bass and fullness its strange

Just dust off those old Link Wray licks and crank it up. Should be perfect!msmith4432 wrote:yikes, thats a bummer.

Sorry to read the MT isn't cutting the mustard. I'd still like to try one at some point.

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
I'm sure I remember Ade saying the basic stock power pack for the MT isn't earthed...
I could be wrong.

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
I found the video I was referring to...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddbMnlX5 ... re=related
He mentions about using a laptop power supply for less noise and more headroom.
Some interesting stuff on the DIVO unit too...

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
I'm fairly certain that Maslow's first level in his hierarchy of needs was food, water, shelter, and gear. I'd say it's a push at that point being that they are equally important.Mrjones2004x wrote:Cool I might try that tomorrow if I get time.

.... Yeah, that was a bit of a super nerd joke......

If you do try it Mr Jones make sure the polarity is a match for the amp...Mrjones2004x wrote:Cool I might try that tomorrow if I get time. Gotta pay my £18k house deposit and send of the contract first tho
There maybe a bit of Leeway on the voltage but don't quote me on that

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
Tried a 19 volts supply and it worked ok but still with noise. Tested the guitar through my cube on rectum frier mode with max gain and volume and no hiss at all.

Re: so honeymoon over with micro terror
If you're used to the cube that's probably the problem. The cube probably has an internal noise gate as most modelling amps do. P90s are notoriously noisy. Try getting some kind of cheap noise gate pedal, like an ARTEC one.
