DetroitBlues Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thats what I was afraid of....and why I am picking up one at PSP!!! Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise and I get my new kitchen to where the family can survive during my absence. I just saw your cabinet and chasis on Friday... The amp looks great. Starting to making me wish I'd done something more like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfan Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Cool, I haven't bothered the artist while he is at work. I specifically ordered an amp that can be left turned on for 2 days with no damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit, feel free to give it a try, it has a EV speaker that I believe won't break up as much or at least as early as your Celestion. Maybe it will give you a perspective on that early breakup problem you where discussing on that other thread of yours. I think other than the speaker the circuitry is the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost called it the red headed step child! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I demand a non grounded 2 prong ac plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Two prong plug is installed - I couldn't find tweed tape but don't worry, I'm going to add some cool strips in with multi-colored electrical tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned a while ago not to use hammer ons when playing the AC/DC tune, "The Jack"... Sounds a little like concrete breaking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that song. In fact, I love almost all those sung by Bon Scott! Heard Big Balls in New Hampshire yesterday, had not hear that in YEARS!

DetroitBlues Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 One of my favorite tunes. Haven't heard Big Balls in a long time. Really funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Really it's not that big of a deal in most cases... usually the worse you will do is shorten the tube life a little. It's a completely different story if a speaker is not connected to it though... if you somehow left an amp on without a speaker connected, you might not need an amp tech, you might need a new amp. That's kind of what I thought. I've never left one on without a speaker connected thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think KBP180 did that once, but not by his own fault. He had to completely rebuld an amp because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
