rikhiMemberQuote:Quote:Question:
I really want to get (2) 22 caliber amps to have each one power a 1×12… the goal is to utilize the stereo sounds of my memory man and cathedral reverb.
Personally I think it would better with (2) 2 x 12s….. but it’s hard to say because it depends how clean you’d want it. Is it possible to rent or borrow a few speakers for a trial? I’d be very very curious to see how it’d compete with a drummer. I’ve only used her for home studio, practice and smaller jams so far.
Check what’s cheap too. Where I live a Quad is much much better value (than a 2×12) for money and if you might find some old kit that’s still kicking it.
rikhiMemberQuote:Yeah, but it sound JAWSOME @ 4 ohms until the circuit breaker shits the bed in the pedal.And THAT my friend is why I’d be more than happy to try it hahahaha.
Considering how small it is- amazing just how much the little bugger can do. I’m more interesting in that that what it doesn’t.rikhiMemberQuote:I want a freedom ampI got one on Ebay – it’s being sent over to me now.
But I’d recommend you score one of these.http://www.guitarnerd.com.au/?p=1687
Tym from Brisbane Australia is a genius.
There was the freedom amp with two small speakers, then a dirty one with one speaker.
I scored the former and this is based on the latter. I’m obviously sketchy on the facts, but there was a later release of an amp which was wooden and a combo of the two.I see very few of these around.
I’m gonna score the FAMP this year- but I’m SO impressed with the 22 caliber I might just score the foam cab.
rikhiMemberQuote:Hi there,I just got a 22 Caliber for home practice and it has a lot of hiss. Just wondering if this is normal?
thanks
This is a totally easy fix. You need to get a committed speaker cable.
It’ll his like Missus Snakey on PMS until you do.rikhiMemberQuote:Love it! I play bass and have added the 22 Caliber to my setup as the amp for effects into a 16 ohm 2×10 (bass) cab. My main rig is an Ampeg SVT & I am a full time working pro playing mostly classic rock & blues gigs, over ten per month. While the 22 Caliber won’t really work as a true thundering bass amp it is great for overdrive tones. I also use a Micro Pog into a volume pedal into a tube distortion pedal then a second volume pedal before the amp. With this setup I can control how “hard” I hit the tube distortion and also mix it with the main bass rig sound. I usually have the 22 caliber at full volume or close to it! Now if only they could shrink the SVT down to a pedal size LOLHi I use the 22 Caliber for Bass as well. And I’m besotted. I love the way it concentrates the pickup sound of your axe. But I’m only use quiet practice volumes. I’m going to try and hook up a PODx3 Live and see how that goes too. But the 2x 10 is very interesting. I’m running her into a 15″ which is (good) boomy and lovely and old school. Just a lucky accident that probably shouldn’t work.
rikhiMemberQuote:Will there be a bass version in the future?I use a 22 caliber for Bass as practice amp.
I plug her into an old 15″ hartke and get a superb boomy type of sound….
I’m gagging to try it on a 4 x 8cab or 4 x 10″ for a tighter sound.I’ve only used this for quiet practice though in an apartment. I’ve heard differing reviews of other bass players using the 22 Caliber.
rikhiMemberOn the literature I got with my 22 Caliber it says it’ll work with 4-16 ohms, but not reliably at 4ohms… break up problems and all.
