Now that I've got my toobs working, I'll be able to make a better comparison between my amp and the software modeling.  What I found REALLY awesome last night was cranking the amp's clean channel until it breaks up and then experiencing the different dynamics between picking soft or hard. ...

You know your Hero bands or artists are on their way down when they finally come to the realization that they've "made it".  Personally, I don't think Satriani has done anything that worthy on the past two albums but I know many will disagree.  But where's that fire that was there in the early...

I just want to thank all you guys who chimed in to help me out with the amp, gear, hotplate, etc. questions, and giving your input and advice.  It is much appreciated!  That makes this forum the best forum I've been on.  You guys are great!

:headbang:    :hello2:  :party07:  :blob7: Yeah, ...I just got the hot plate installed tonight and tested it out for about an hour.  BOY AM I HAPPY!!!!  This wrocks!!!  There is so much tone I've been missing it's just unbelievable.  The top end sparkle and dynamics I'm hearing are something...

I have some soldering experience.  I can handle that part.  I got the cable prepped and ready for tinning and soldering Monday tonight.  Hopefully I'll get to test drive it then.

The amp is rated at 8 and 16 ohms, but there is no switch.  From reading the manual and the forums on Peavey's website I have discovered that the amp runs at 16 ohms.  The amp comes with a 16 ohm internal speaker.  The output jack says "16 ohm minimum load".  Here's a pic of the back of the...

Thanks Mayfly!  I was just getting on here to see how to get the polarity right.  I'm going to the music store in a little while to pick up a 1/4" speaker cable.

Is the "LINE OUT" part attenuated?  Is that what I run from the hot plate to the extension cab or do I fabricate a cable with 1/4" jacks and run from the 2nd speaker output?

Actually, I bought 24-gauge solid 2-conductor speaker wire from radio shack after looking at my amp's wires going to the speakers.  They are small and that surprised me.  Like car audio speaker wire small.  Is this not the correct wire to use? OH.  I just did a google search.  I didn't even...

Okay, so although the hot plate doesn't match "perfectly" to an 8 ohm load, I can use it either way for 16 or 8?  Not sure if I want to run just my combo amp or run it with the extension cab.  I can easily plug the extension cab in afterwords though if I want more presence. That being the case...

I posted a question in the wiring and electronics section about this.  Would you take a look?  It's here: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=9396.0

Wee!  This is as far as I could go with what I have right now.  Need to zip up the loose cables underneath and a few small things but this is about it.  I forced myself to leave a pedal or two out.  I don't need my whammy on there, and I don't really NEED two distortion boxes on there.  I do...

Okay, I just found a manual on THD's website.  They say that I would need an 8ohm Hot Plate to connect both my 16ohm speakers (the one in the combo amp and the one in the extension cab) so I'm not going to be able to do that.  Will it work to simply disconnect the Classic 30's internal speaker...

I just got a 16 ohm hot plate for my peavey classic 30.  The hot plate inputs and outputs are 1/4" jacks, and my amp speaker wires are just wires with slide on clips that attach to the speakers, just like a car audio speaker.  The guy at the store said I would have do the following to get the...
