Re: It's Coming...... PICS

The small box Marshall's are 26" wide.

I guess I'm 2 for 2 with Fed Ex! It should have been there yesterday!

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

If it was a 4x12, you'd be right.



It's a Marshall 1966A 2x12......24" x 24" X 10"

I've got a 1965A too, which is a 4x10.

Full size at 1/2 the weight !!!

And you're right....I asked for it to be 24" so it wouldn't sit over the edges of the cab


And TECHNICALLY....it was here yesterday....I wasn't.

It's all good......as long as "next business day" isn't Monday !!!!

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

Find your local hub and look up what time they open. Get there about a half-hour early and stalk them...

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

I need one with the Texas flag on it... Silver sparkle faceplate, black knobs

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

There's a local place that sells all kinds of flags....until I get that cab fixed, I was gonna get a Guinness flag or something like that to cover it.

Hey Scott....

Quick message to let you know the amp is here...in one piece...& sounds great!

We are getting ready to go to a Christmas lights pageant thing for the kids so I didn't have much time to do anything with it other than set it up & try out the basics.

I'll throw a full report up as soon as I get to play it more!

Take care & thanks again....so far so good!!!

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

Packing a chassis is easier, I was quite confident it could surive the fall that dinged Alex's amp. Look forward to a report.

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

If Terry doesn't get some clips I may be able to... I'll see if I can use my friends mic, sometime during this 2 week break i have....

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

I haven't realized how sloppy I was since having a Hiwatt until I started playing on the "SWEET" channel.....very touch responsive/sensitive...it will show your flaws & mock you in front of yourother gear!!!

The "*****" mode adds just the right amount of gain for a dirty blues or crunchy rhythm....very smooth & nice.

So far, I just ran thru the settings....all knobs are responsive, even the "PRESENCE" (on someamps, I couldn't tell the difference on the hi/lo settings). Set it up semi-clean(1-10):

PRESENCE: 6
BASS: 5
MID: 3
TREBLE: 6
HIGH TREBLE VOLUME: 6
NORMAL VOLUME: 6

VERY VERY LOUD!!!! Running itthru the Weber MASS & they're becoming quick friends.

Running it thru a Marshall 1966A 2x12 with Mojo British Vintage "Greenback" & G12H30 clones. Sounds fantastic with the back off(open-back)...haven't tried closed back yet.

Also, I've only played the Strat thru it. Loves every position...very Tele like with just the bridge p/u & in the "SWEET" mode.


Anyway, great amp but as you can tell, I have a lot more playing to do before giving a better review.

I start my vacation Wednesday & will be off for a few weeks. I'll be sure to put itthru it's paces & hopefully, I'll pick up a mic & get some clips up

So far, the Edana gets a big 5 out of 5

Sounds like someone will be Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree this year! Just make sure you get a long enough lead.

Open back cab + KT66 = Bluesbreaker Tone

I'm glad you like it. Which Weber Mass are you using? I recently saw a tip on weber's site saying for 50 watt amp, you should be using a 100 watt mass. Something about 50 watts being the rated RMS, but spikes upwards of 100 watts are common. Seems like a bit of overkill, unless you play on 10 thru the mass all the time.

Runnning an amp on 10 all the time is like driving around town all day with your engine red-lined the entire time! Not something I do.

I've got a G2D Cream Tone coming. I think it's going to like the Edana.

When my shoulder gets better, and whenever my wait list is complete, I'm going to build one for myself.

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

Yeah Simon. you got that right!!!

Scott, I have a 100w Stereo MASS, but this is all I have running thru it...no need for the 20w Fuchs

The chassis fits inside the headbox perfectly...lots of room for the KTs. The vents were a good idea, but only one is placed directly over a tube & I noticed the box itself was warm where the other tube was. Maybe a good idea for the next one would be putting a vent all the way across. Probably no big deal but you never know.

Hey...I meant to ask: the EL34/KT66 switch....does that lower the plate voltage or what exactly does it do? I assume a rebias is still needed, right???

Re: It's Coming...... PICS

Oh & yeah....I hear that G2D is sweet. Next up for me will be running some pedals thru it. I bet the OD pedals are gonna scream in this baby!!!

It's already got a nice fat tone....it's gonna eat up the Mudhoney!!!
