Speaker / tube break-in time

[frankencat]

Believe me, times have changed but man, those were good times yes indeed. I grew up in NY at that time and it was a very intense and incredible place and time. Anyway, I don't know about y'all but I still have a few good jams left in me

And yes, speakers need to ne broken in for anywhere from 10 - 100 hours

Graham - Thanks for the great link. There's really a lot of good information on that Celestion website, and I've bookmarked it for future reference. Amd also, I welcome you to our forum. Just out of curiosity, on your avatar, is that you in front of those rather ominous-looking stacks of Marshalls? If it is, you're livin' the dream in that shot - two full stacks and and Les Paul. It would be about at that time that I'd be waking up . . .

[Slowhand]

Nelskie Yes it's me! The Les Paul is mine.... the Amps are the Photo Shop edition. Just the right volume for playing at home.
Although I did get the chance to play a Marshall stack once Awsome but you really do need a big space those things are loud. Came away with a smile that lasted a week

Graham - Welcome to our growing forum. We are becoming international acclaimed, but we claim to be just an international family.

Tot – Welcome to you also. Glad to see another Vox VTxxAD owner. There are several of us here. We discuss new things on these amp whenever they are discovered.

Aaahhh, the Photoshop Edition Marshall Stack. What kind of specs do those cabs / heads have? And let me guess - they have a really transparent tone to them, too, right? Ha ha ha ha. You get a "10" for creativity, though!

....the Amps are the Photo Shop edition.

Wow, maybe there's a "Paint Shop Pro" edition of the Marshall stack! I'll have to open up that program and check!

Welcome, Graham! Have seen a lot of your patches & posts over at Valvetronix.net. Looking forward to your contributions here.

Yeah, Machine Head rocks! I am a big fan of Deep Purple from that era. Blackmore's sound was amazing!

I'm still to this day torn between "Machine Head" and Blackmore's "Rainbow On Stage" as my favorite. I mean, asking a man to choose between "Highway Star" and "Man On The Silver Mountain" is just too much!

I don't like Blackmore's later stuff anywhere near as well.

Hey Slowhand, great site! Welcome to the forum. Pardon me if I chimed in late here, but I've been playing with my new toy all afternoon and into the evening. I only stopped because blood began hemorrhaging from my finger tips. No, I'm only joking, but they are a little tender. You six-stringers might find doing full step bends on a flatwound Rotosound .085 A string to be a minor chore!
