Thoughts on setup Johnson JM250–>Carvin BX1600(slave amp)—>Peavey 412F (4xSwamp Thangs wired for 4 ohms)
Just wanted thoughts on this setup.
Using the Johnson, if unfamiliar is an early modeling amp (late 90’s). I’ve tried about 10 amps (Randall, Fender, Peavey, Behringer, Ampeg, Marshall) and this is my favorite.
I run a full stack of V30’s and absolutely love it for more grunge and hardcore tones. I find with the Swamp Thang 412 it feels a little thin.
My thoughts are that at 125W of solid state power simply isn’t enough to really push these speakers (currently wired to 16 ohms). They’re also currently in a slightly oversized early 90’s Ampeg cab (V412BE), I bought the Peavey cab to get an oversized cab without paying the price of a Mesa OS412).
I kind of want something more geared towards doom. I could also used the setup for my 4x15 to run that as well.
Just curious if anyone has done anything similar. Eventually I’ll post pics when it’s all set up.
I want to rewire it
