hello, i read from the manual the deep control can damage speakers-cabs due to its power.

when it could start beeing dangerous for a cab?

then, as my 2-x12 cab is 140W, have i to be particularly careful with the 180W !! :rock: power of the head?

thanx!!
 
The 180 is peak watts, meaning you won't even get close to that if you don't crank the amp (a ryhme! :D ) way past 12. Wouldn't know how the deep control affects that though... :confused:
 
ok, way past 12 o'clock for master volume, right? not channel volume
 
First of all deep will boost the low end (120hz I think??), which means you could blow your speakers without getting super high watts out of it.

That said I run mine very often about 2-3, but I don't crank the amp up too high. I think if that's for home use you have nothing to worry about.
 
I've fried three cabs so far :lol: :LOL:

I'm using my quarterstack often live - a Herbie and a Diezel 2x12" with a Vintage 30 and a Vintage Century - Master 1= 40%, Master 2= 50% with some (volume) suckage from my rack. I'm always the loudest in the band, esp. when soloing and keep my deep around noon and presence up to 70% normally. No damage yet, except my bandmates ears. I'm deaf anyway :D

Don't worry, be happy.
 
Well I have my deep at around 12h (50%), and presence at around 15h (75%). :)
 
My Bogner cabs take that low Deep nicely :) :rock:
:
I have the bass around 2pm (a notch or 2 above the middle)

it RAAAAWKS!
 
From my perception the reference in the Herbert manual about the depth control was a joke! It's more of a brag about the insane amount of bottom end that can be generated. Your 2x12 cab should handle decent volumes.
 
yes it's a kind of likely joke on the manual, but there's something true ;)
