hi folks,
I'm new here - I'm a guitarist & composer, I mainly produce instrumental music for film/tv/multimedia. I heard so many good things about ceriatone, the clips of amps I've heard sound fantastic - and well, I'm looking for some amps at the moment (...ok, you may say now that "this moment" may last long... or forever..
)
I'm mainly a "user" of gear and don't know too much about electronics etc (hence I will buy the amp already wired); so I'm always thankfull for explanations and tips in technical terms.
the amp will be used in the studio only - I don't play live.
however, I'm thinking about to order a plexi 50 1987 lead, and have a couple of questions:
* I own a iso-booth with built-in speaker, 16 ohm. is the plexi50 switchable (4 / 8 / 16 ohm)?
* I own a thd hotplate power soak, 16 ohm. are there any (significant) differences between the master-volume modification and such a power soak? or if I have a power soak I don't need the ppmv (or how's it called) modification anyway?
* which tubes are suggested? are the ones that ceriatone implements in the "complete amps" (already wired) good? or is it suggested to buy them by myself?
I was wondering because they only cost $ 50 (the ones that are included). anyway, if it's suggested to buy them by myself, which models should I choose? I know that some amp parts needs to be adjusted in order to implement new tubes - I can't do that, so it'd be great if I just could plug 'em in and it's done;)
* I will buy the head-chassis locally - but to do so, I need to know the exact dimensions of the amp-chassis, where exactly the holes are, etc.
is there anywhere a layout of that?
* I live in switzerland, and our power supply system is 240 volt. do the amps work with that volt value?
I'm looking forward to your answer - thanks in advance!
