A Change of Setup

[Davie Holland]

Davie, just another thought, the Telonics 15 you have is the same one fitted in the Telonics amps which I believe are 500watts, so can’t see there would be a problem.

Thanks Malcolm.. I should have checked that on the TCA 500 specs. Yes the TSNEO is rated at 300W Constant and 500W peak.

"The TSNEO speaker is capable of being driven at a constant 300 Watts. At a lower average power, it is also capable of being driven up to 500 Watts for short periods."

"High output level available on demand. 500 Watt power amplifier section."

[Davie Holland]

OH darn it....keep forgetting about doubling the impedance! Guess I`ll just stick to 250w in to 4 ohms for now..!!

Ask Mark Dunn Davie, pretty sure it is ok to bridge amp and use with your 15.

[Davie Holland]

Spoke with Mark via email. Definetely not a good idea to run the Telonics 15-4 with a bridged amp. So for now I`ll try the meager 250w from one side of my un-bridged amp, and look for another tweed cab to match the one I`ve bought. Hmmm must be getting old. Never liked tweed before, but now seems like a good idea!!

Go the whole hog, Davie. Tweed suit, with the leather elbow patches, tweed bunnet and a nice pair of Paw Broon slippers.
That'll be one cosy gig.

Danny, you may have to explain " PAW BROON SLIPPERS" LDN

[Danny Mitchell]

You're absolutely right, Donny, our culturally deprived neighbours may be unaware of the wonderful world of The Broons. Puir wee sowells.

Davie, wouldn’t getting a second cab defeat the object of weight saving, there are other alternatives, I personally use the Jay Ganz Straight Ahead 500 watt amp into a single cab, I use an American Sound pedal as pre amp, you could use your Telonics into a similar amp.It also means you could just take rack or pedal bag if you are flying, and just get use of speaker cab at gig or go straight into desk.

[Malcolm]

Ps, not finished wiring it yet, input and output still to be fitted on outside of case.

[Danny Mitchell]

Wow! That's an incredibly compact setup, Malcolm.

I ordered one of those American Sound Pedals, after reading your post mentioning it (thanks for the heads up), and then hearing the "Falklands" post put up by Jonathon.
