Re: Donna Rocket gets a 2x12 speaker cab...speaker???

Thanks guys. I did order the 8 ohm versions. I thought I could do more with those...option wise. Plus they will work with my Deluxe Reverb. Now I understand how the OT impedance taps work. Is 4, 8, 16 a mathematical necessity or could you have custom OT impedance...say 6 0r 5.7? I am still not sure ...

Re: Donna Rocket gets a 2x12 speaker cab...speaker???

Can you expand on "get's all the windings". Not sure what that means. From the OT? That doesn't happen in parallel?...also hear all the amp or get speaker breakup?

The more question I ask the more I realize I am in over my head. I did have success in "assembling" a Rocket.

Donna Rocket gets a 2x12 speaker cab...speaker???

I have decided to get some scumbacks. Jim has suggested an H75 M75 mix in my LOPO 2x12 convertible dovetail cabinet. Is it ok to use a 25 and 30 watt in same cab? If I need to match wattage then I have to get two 65 watt speakers. I don't think the Rocket needs that much. Also I have impedance optio...

PreSonus FireBox, CUBASE, PRO TOOLS

I Have a couple of questions.

1. Does anyone here have experience with using a FireBox and CUBASE in Windows 7. I am trying to get these working together but am failing!

2. Does anyone here know if ProTools LE can be used with a FireBox?
