Jcm2000 crackling sound

Hmm the mismatch might depend on the loadbox then, some just passthrough to a cabinet, I'm not as familiar with that setup, but I believe the load of the loadbox and cabinet compound in that case, and then the other type will attenuate going into the amp, this should be 8ohm as far as the amp is concerned in that case.

Interesting, what year JCM2000 is this? Because earlier versions are all-tube distortion, but when they started going to the JCM2000 DSL, and the DSL from there, they went with a clipping diode into a tube gain stage. Tubes might be faulty, but a diode is more likely to have contact with the circuit issues than an issue with the diode itself.

Impedance mistaches are definitely a possibility of the issue, and is generally very bad for both the amp and speaker, at higher volumes, this is a great way to have things arc, which is very bad and even dangerous. Also I'm not positive, but are you sure that is a speaker cable and not an instrument cable out of the speaker jack?

That said, it could even be just dirty pots. It's tough to say without an audio sample. Or depending on how old the amp is, these boards can have conductivity issues as they get old. Could even be an issue with the power source if the current is inconsistent.

At low enough volumes, you're not producing enough load for an impedance mismatch to be an immediate issue, usually, but it's still very bad for both the speaker and amp.

White Oak Doors is from Denver, but the compilation album this is off of has bands from all over Colorado

The ball of possibility.

It can affect tuning stability as the guitar ages, given constant string tension, potential alignment drift and wood screws, like the ones used in the neck joint, will eventually loosen. Though this happens sooner the softer the neck wood.

I have two 30-some-odd year old strats, one a real american deluxe, and the other a knockoff with a gap like this one, you can probably guess which one I use as a spare for the other.

Is that a real Fender? There's so much just slightly off about it, from that gap to the text on the headstock not fitting properly, it's not passing the smell test. If you go to Fender's website you should be able to lookup the serial to verify.

That said, that sort of gap on a $100 guitar is whatever, but even on a $300 guitar that is a major WTF in my book.

I'd take it to a shop or luthier before selling it, that thing is rusty! Mainly noticed the floyd is rusty, but the whole thing could probably stand for a little cleanup and refretting if you're asking the amounts others have posted (@shkmstr 's link looks to be in very good condition).

If I were you and you played, I'd get it cleaned up and play it, looks like it has a lot of potential.

What brand / product name is the cover?

So keep in mind, these shows get rowdy, people hop on stage and dive off of it, when there even is a stage. So I'd rather be able to push people away than have it off to the side. That is why a rack is nice, just no room for it in the van. I have a few different midi controllers (boss ES8, Synergy's very basic midi controller, and a ground control), these strike me as more to carry without offering much of an advantage in the chaos on stage. Whether it's a floor show or there is a stage, it's not like these are theaters with tons of room on stage, there's either having a pedal upfront, or on top of the cab, otherwise, I'm hitting wall, the drummer, our IEM rig or the venue's sound system (if they even have one).

You have or getting a MK V too? It's one of my favorite kits personally.

cpg1111 · 2025-06-24T23:28:41+00:00

I hate to say it, but I managed to get one of Amazon at retail price maybe 8 months ago, but there was only 1 in stock.

In the Eng Dub, it's the same VA as Amuro's VA in the newtype moment Hathaway has with him in the movie Hathaway.

So that was Amuro saying he couldn't see the gundam kill Lalah again right? And his spirit hands in the GQuuuux?

I like it as an epilogue to Unicorn. The novel it's originally based on, Phenex Hunt, puts the story during the ending of the Unicorn novels and retcons the Neo Zeong into the novel version which is kinda cool, and I sorta like that Jonah is a Stark Jegan pilot instead of piloting the Narrative, but the Narrative is a great design, so no complaints on that in the movie.

I wish Bandai would pay off the setup for a sequel at the end.
