  1. um the power of the amp i'm running the cab off is 30watts, 8ohms,

    the can is 120 watts, 8 ohms,

    the wiring is decent and i don't think it is worth getting them "checked over" becuse they are both fairly new (the amp's a year old, and the cab is 1 week old!)

  2. :D as most of you will know, i have recently bought a Marshall MG412A to use as an extention cab of my Marshall MG30DFX, (i went through all the trouble of putting an switch jack out and everything)

    now, the problem is, it isn't as loud as i hoped it would be, (infact it sounds the same as it did before i put the extension cab on!) :D

    B) is this normal, was i hoping for too much, or is it just some crap wireing or something!

    thanks for any help given! :D

  3. NOW:

    Fender Mex Strat,

    Epiphone Les Paul,

    Ovation Celebrity,

    Takamine ES31C.

    Marshall MS4

    Marshall MG30DFX

    Marshall MG412A

    WANT

    Fender Jag-Stang

    Gibson Les Paul,

    Marshall MG100HDFX

    Marshall MG412B

    :D i like Marshall!

  4. well i was looking for a cheap 4x12 cab, and the MG412 is pretty cheap, and i love the MG series!

    (it would've been more expencive to build my own!)

    i ended up putting a switch jack on my 30DFX, so i can either use it as a normal amp, or use it as the head for the 4x12! :D

  5. OK,.... you do realize that we're talking about a matter of hours here - not days, weeks, right?

    I hope the info I've tried to provide has been helpful. Good luck.

    i'll only be using it for gigs, and to show off in front of my friends, it won't be on all the time!!!

  6. i'm being a pain in the ass again, i've changed my mind, i want RED LEDs in my circut!!! i think i've almost got this sorted, a few more questions though...

    can i put all 8 of the LEDs in a parallel circut

    (with out doing this...

    You'll need 4 100 ohm 1/8 watt resistors.Wire one resistor in series with each pair of blue LEDS, then wire the four circuits in parallel, one end to the switch and the other to the battery. Be sure you don't reverse the polarity on the LEDs - you will most likely destroy them. LSDiodes has blues for less than $.50 each, and reasonable shipping. Their tutorial (here) should help you understand how to hook it all up. They even offer resistors for your shopping convenience. Now all you've got to do is get a switch, and wire it all up. Good luck, hope that helps.
    )

    could i insted either...

    1 put a resistor with each LED (if so, what power?!!?)

    2 put a big resistor just before the wire splits in to 8 (to go to the LEDs)

    and what is the "Voltage Drop Across LED"

    and what "led current would i want (in milliamps)"

    (all found here!!!)

  7. :D i just wanna put some simple LEDs around my pickguard, is rhat so much to ask?!

    thanks for the effort guys, but i just wanna juse LEDs, i'm new to this, and not loaded with cash, so i think i'll scrap the Fiber optic idea, and i don't want it getting too confusing, so i'll scrap the Orange/blue idea!!!

    I think Blue led's would look the best, with my guitar!!!

    can any one tell me what power/colour resistor i will need with:

    8 blue LEDs,

    1 three way switch,

    1 9v battery!

  8. Note: This circuit diagram assumes you're using ultra-bright blue or white LEDs - for other colors, the resistor(s) will need to be recalculated. Find the forward voltage drop of the LED you want to use and plug it into this calculator. Follow the instructions, and specify 20 mA as the LED current - don't forget to use double the forward voltage drop for two LEDS in series. Then all you've got to do is figure out how to mount them.

    i don't know that much about electricity,

    i know how to make a parallel circuit, but i don't know that much about resistors and stuff like that!!! will i need a resistor in this circuit?!

    i need colour sugestions and approximate prices on these (i'm asuming that they're pretty cheap!)

  9. :D i know there are already atleast two topics on this already, but this one is slightly differant.

    i want to put some LED's around my pick guard. B)

    1 can anyone e-mail me a wireing diagram on how to put in:

    8 LEDs

    1 Les paul style switch (for the on/off bit(i thought this would look the best (it's a three way switch though)))

    and a battery (and what voltage is needed!!)

    2 any suggestions on LED colour?! my guitar is black ane white (zebra style) with a white pickguard!

    cheers for any help!!

    ps my e-mail is...

    worldsworstguitarist@hotmail.com

  10. use a pot a batterie, a lm386 and make a feedback circuit that you can manipulate.. once you get that total saturation and feeding it back upon itself it will be like an oscilator. whic you can vary the pitch with the volume knob

    where can i get one of these (i also love feedback and am too cheap to buy distortion pedels) about how much do they cost, and how do i fit one in to my guitar?!? :D
