Been using this amp with a 15-inch speaker for awhile…but for a different tone, I talked to the folks at mojotone about getting a 4x8 baffle made (they say they can do it).. Since the amp is about 35 watts, wiring up 4 G8C as 8-ohm should be able to handle the power, I hope!
Yes, yes, yes, YES!!!
Not only can they handle it … those are AMAZING in groups of 2 or 4 … you will be INSPIRED!
3 tightly spaced speakers actually disperse high end much better than a 4x cab because the speakers are not in line with each other on 3 different perpendicular axes. You might be able to have a 3x10" baffle in that case, or 2x8"+1x(10"or 12"). The 4x cab idea was a mistake to begin with. 4x cabs create strong high end in a narrow “beam”. Everyone on stage will hear the same high end with a 3x cab.
Interesting; I’ve never heard of this. That said, the new baffle is on it’s way and it’s a “basement amp” anyway.
Thanks for the insights, though.
Thanks, Vaughn; I was thinking maybe old Gibson tweed GA-45-like, but of course not as dark.
Baffle is on it’s way…we’ll see!
What impedance for the speakers each would your recommend…the amp expects 8-ohms…each 8-ohms in series/parallel? thanks in advance!
Personally … my desert island amp is a Blackface Super Reverb … with a GOOD tweed Bassman as a close second … so I’d take the snub to a 4x cab with a grain of salt … oh, and the millions of fans of the 4x12 cabs might have something to say here too ![]()
Kim Kardashian has millions of fans ;-). Obviously 4x cabs are popular workhorses. I love those Fender amps too. Fender made a few amps with 3x10’s, but they weren’t spaced for optimal dispersion. The Dr. Z “Z Master” amp looks like the 3x10’s are spaced right.
