How much high-end will I kill if I...

[Felix]

How much of the high frequencies will I kill if I snip the wires to my tweeter in my Ampeg BA-210SP combo. I hate not being able to use distortion with it but I like my clean tone to be rather bright. Thanks!

Just some sibilance. The cross-over point is at 10khz.
You could always just add a switch, and switch it in and out as needed.

I thought about that but Radio Shack was of absolutely no help...told me that it's too high of voltage. Could you possibly find me a link to a switch that'd work?

Never, ever, ever ask Radio Shack personel for technical advice.

Its going to be relatively low voltage. Almost any switch will work.

One of these will work great:

Just cut the positive wire of the tweeter, and solder it to the center lug, and one end.

I should say, one cut end to the center, the other cut end to the end lug.

Best advice I´ve read on the board, add GC staff to that and I´ll say EVER

Í got a chance to visit both while in the states a few years back, multiple locations. I wasn´t particularly impressed

This is a true story while I was looking at some parts in a Radio Shack:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer: (with young son) We have an old Lionel train transformer that doesn't have a power switch. We don't want to keep unplugging it from the wall. Its a 12 volt transformer, so we want this 12-volt switch, right?

RS guy: yes.

Customer: The power cord has two wires - this has two terminals, so I just connect the two to each, right?

RS guy: yes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This salesman would have killed these two. I quietly showed them what they really needed after the salesman left.
