@deathmetalcoverz5865Ай бұрын
@@ant_yep yeah thank you man. Like i switches headphones and it sounds better but still not nearly as good as it would with a cab. Also i still havent decided on a cabinet to get or anything. Im a noob with this stuff cause ive only used combo amps, but the back of the valvestate has 2 identical loudspeaker inputs on the back that are both 4 ohms right? So do i need a cab that has a 4ohm port on the back? (Im not going for full stack just one 4x12 or something)
@ant_yepАй бұрын
@@deathmetalcoverz5865 yeah it's the headphone port, I'm having the same issue. And no worries, ohms are weird. I always have to triple check myself. So yes on that head there's 2 speaker outputs (total of 4ohms) they share the same ohms. So let's say you have a cab or speaker that's 4ohms, thats it, you can't add another. You reached the minimum. But if you have two 8ohm cabs or speakers, them 8ohms turn into a 4. You can plug 2 8ohms in that head. Or you can plug 2 16ohms. Cuz 2 16s turn into a 8. 4ohms is perfect for that head. Anything higher won't hurt but the sound suffers. Example... them 2x12s I'm using are both 16ohms = 8. Its ok. But if they were both 8s = 4. That would be perfect. Or if you get a 1x12" box and put a 100w 4ohms in it that would do too.
@ant_yepАй бұрын
@@deathmetalcoverz5865 ah I overlooked the part where you said you're going for a 4x12 cab. So yes you want a 4ohms cab to match perfect. But if you did get a 8 or 16 thats still ok but the sound would be lacking. Its when you get into 2ohms or 0ohm that would be dangerous for this amp
@deathmetalcoverz5865Ай бұрын
@@ant_yep alright so to recap, if i had just one cab like a 2x12 cab and thats the only one i wanna use i would use one cord from the loudspeaker input of the amp and then that goes into the 4ohm section of the cab. But if i wanted to use a full stack i would do the same thing but for both loudspeaker inputs of the amp i would plug them into the 8ohm section cause 2 eights turn into 4? Is everything i said correct? (Also sorry for commenting so much you are great help and i have the same amp as you but i need to learn about ohms and cabs before i buy one)

Had two of them back on the 80's-90's. When I bought mine the black widows were an option. The basic speakers were made by either Becker or eminence. The nice part of the bw's is that the speaker basket can be replaced when you blow the speaker rather than replacing the whole speaker. This allows for a huge cost savings. Peavey still supports repair parts for even their earliest bw's.
@davidstorm40156 ай бұрын
Clean all the pots, on the transistor that you soldered (with the 3 legs) the last joint you soldered was really bad, you need to heat at the bottom of the leg, not the top, so the solder flows around the solder pad on the board.. Oh, and you shouldn't be poking around in an amp if you don't understand what you are doing, you will likely electrocute yourself.

Your soldering needs work not going to lie don't hold the soldering iron on top of the leg hold it at the base as you need to put heat on the track too just not too much don't hold it there for too long. there's 3 things you need. A clean surface, flux, and heat. Heat is what makes it all bond together strong its no good at the top of the leg solder is going to fall sure because of gravity but it will be cooler at the base and you'll end up with dry / cracked joints. I'm all for people giving something a go but at least watch some basic tutorials first. The middle leg looked ok you want them like that. That last leg was not good at all.

@ant_yep Жыл бұрын
Good I thought. I used to use that amp and one Marshall lead 1960 cad at shows all the time. It sounded tighter and punchier. Kinda like a quick punch. The full stack sounds fuller/thicker with a bit more bottom end. I wish there was a setting where these two cabs could come out to 4ohm together. That would be awesome
@darwinsaye Жыл бұрын
That just seems so weird to me that they would block two thirds of the speaker surface with the baffle, and then also block the centre of the speaker with a band across the grill cloth. I can see that their intent seems to be to deflect the sound waves from coming out at a straight line, but that just seems really inefficient.

@ant_yep Жыл бұрын
You can run a valvestate into a 8412 cabinet. Cuz the valvestate is 4ohm and the 8412 is 8ohm. 4ohm can go into the 8ohm because its greater. Now if it was opposite thats a no no. 8ohm head should not going into a 4ohm cab. What helps me remember is always thinking about your head first. Whatever that number is you want your cab number to be the same (that is best performance) or higher. The higher the cab ohm number is not so great performance but still safe. You can even run 2 8412 cabs because a 4ohm head with 2 8ohm cabs = 4. Perfect match. 8ohm+8ohm=4ohm.

Been playing Bass since I was 14 years old. Grew up on Peavey bass Amps / Speakers.. As far as the speakers "15" Black Widow" I still think they sound just as good as anything out there. I have played through Markbass speakers/Ampeg speakers/ Hartke/Fender etc etc. They are just ok but nothing special in my opinion. I had a Sunn Sentura 1 Back in 1984 that I ran through a 15" Black Widow enclosure along with extra EQ boxes and that used to give me a fantastic sound. Traded that in and got a Peavey Century Head that I absolutely loved as well. Great Job on the restoration.
