Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. While DC resistance is not the only component of impedance it is the most significant contribution.
Here is a brief rundown https://www.kevinchant.com/uploads/7/1/ ... edance.pdf .
I hope this helps

I ain't dead yet.

The rule of thumb is to multiply the DC resistance by 1.3

The Emmons string machine was basically 3 Foxx tone units jammed together in a box. The Foxx Tone was my favorite Fuzz tone of the era because the selectable octave switch gave it a unique character. I still have one built into a wah pedal, but if you do a web search for " Foxx Tone clone "...

My mistake. I guess that they must have bypassed some of my brains at the same time.

I was the original owner of this beautiful Guitar. I bought it in 2003, through Bobbe Seymour, on special order from Fessenden. Unfortunately for me, I had to sell it 3 years later, due to heart bypass surgery.( It's amazing how quickly money goes away when you are in the Hospital.) Whoever gets thi...

My favorite tone bar.

Not to get too far off-topic, but the foxx tone machine was my favorite fuzz tone from that era. It had an octave switch that allowed a high overtone that was pretty cool, rather like an Octavia pedal. The Emmons guitar company sold this unit, with their name on it, as competition with the Boss Tone...

Interesting radio piece on Sacred Steel on NPR. http://www.npr.org/2013/09/18/223750683 ... -and-steel

This looks like it might be a blast for lap steel or slide.

Interesting article with the composer on new Superman movie.

the part about pedal steel guitar is in the tenth
paragraph from the top.

When I worked for EB in 1978-79 we got our tone bars directly from Jim Dunlop. They were the exact same bar that Dunlop sold, only the ceramic dot in the middle was different for EB. I don't know if that has changed since, but I suspect they are still the same bars. For the money I think they are as...

The best I can say is could be a JBL 10. The aluminum cone kind of points in that direction, but I really can't be sure.

Is it time for my medication yet?

My mistake. The headstock resembles the Starcaster, but the body is too symmetric to be a fender. Definitely a Micro-Frets

Gary Jones

Boy, is my face red.

I don't know the amp, but the guitar looks to be a Fender Starcaster. Designed by Gene Fields they were manufactured roughly from 1975 until 1982. They were a semi-hollowbody design, and were never very popular. They come up from time to time on e-bay.

Heard you on "A Prairie Home Companion" from Spokane last night. A great show, with some good country music, and nice steel work at that. Good job on "Panhandle Rag".

I find that with a sufficient amount of thrust, pigs fly just fine

Please forgive me if I am helping to pull this thread off-topic, but this discussion of delay units reminded me of something. Back in the late 1970's I was using a Roland Chorus-Echo (RE-301) for delay, and it was the best sounding tape delay I have ever heard. In one box you got (a very quiet) tape...

Johnathan, this article will explain it better than I ever could. http://www.transparentsound.com/measurements/Tomi_Engdahl.pdf It is not uncommon to find D-130's that have been re-coned to something other than their original impedance. It seems a lot of them were 16 Ohms originally, and that was no...

The rule of thumb for measuring Speaker impedance by directly measuring DC resistance is to multiply by 1.3 , so an 8 ohm speaker should measure somewhere around 6.15 Ohms DC. I have seen this question about using resistors to change speaker impedance before, and what most people don't take into acc...

Also important to note that Jeff spent some time working for Red Rhodes at "Red's Royal Repair" in LA, I believe as a guitar tech. At one time Jeff was playing a Sierra, with Red's diatonic tuning, and I can still hear Red's influence on Jeff's playing. Years ago I read in a "Guitar P...

My favorite is still A Shure SM-57($99 from Musician's Friend).
I thought that the NV112s had an XLR direct out. Wouldn't using that be better than using a mic?

With a sufficient amount of thrust, pigs fly just fine.

Here is a link to a web site that has a speaker impedance calculator, if you need such a thing. http://www.about-guitar-amps.com/speaker_ohms_calculator.html Dave is right, the total impedance the amp would see is 2.67 Ohms. Also, keep in mind when you have speakers in parallel that the speaker with...

Years ago, after hearing and talking to Larry, I put his A6th tuning on the back neck of my Pro III. I never quite got the hang of it, and eventually went back to standard C6th. I no longer have the tuning (if anyone has it, please post it), but I remember that it was a complex tuning in itself, and...

Steve I am looking at some of my original documentation, and not seeing the programmers guide. I do see that almost all of the initial stuff is obsolete, and superseded by other programs on the Line 6 web site. The original editor provided with the POD was a 3rd party program called "Sound Dive...

I have an original POD, that I updated to 2.0 by ordering the upgrade, and replacing the chip. While not as versatile as the later units, I still use mine a lot. It does everything I need it to do. The answer to your question is, it depends on the way you program your unit. If you just use the front...

The general rule of thumb is to measure the DC resistance of a speaker (with nothing else attached) and multiply that by 1.3, so an 8 Ohm speaker should measure around 6.15 Ohm dc. Of course this is only a ballpark figure, but since musical instrument speakers usually only come in 4, 8, or 16 Ohm va...
