Help with Elmwood M90 tones! Am i missing a lot using 16 ohm

[cameron711]

Hi all!

I'm new to the elmwood world and i have an elmwood m90 going into a 16ohm diezel 4x12 cab with v30s, front loaded (using the elmwood's 8ohm out).

i definitely need to experiment more, but my main question is:

am i missing some flare or punch using the 16ohm cab?

also, i feel like if i have the treble at 12 to 2, it's piercingly bright but lower, it just sounds flat....anybody have some good tone suggestions?

lastly, as always with tube amps there's a huge jump in volume from ch1 to ch2....am i missing much if i have to turn the ch2 volume down to balance the volume in the two channels?

thanks!

I run the fat control at 3 oclock and presence at about one on the back. That will help fatten the tone, I add a lot of mids on channel two and run trable about 11 oclock. You've got a tone of gain on tap in channel two, just turn the channel output level down to match channel one. M90 is fantastic amp, but you have to play with it a bit and not worry where the controls are set, just on how it sounds. Good luck

Hi cameron711

Running a 16 ohm cab in the 8 ohm outlet will make the amp perform under it's full potential.
I suggest to rewire the cab into 4 ohm total, paralleling all speakers.
