[zoniggboum]

can you put a guitar into this thing?

[zioaxiom]

sure

[zoniggboum]

would it possible to demonstrate that?

[zioaxiom]

I haven't a guitar to test it, but on Metasonix site there is an mp3 about it.

[podars]

i think you just junked my speakers, thanks

[zioaxiom]

The video description warns you about that. Did you read it?

[jezuz12345]

I have everything on 10 and loving it!!!

[SamAndrew27]

Very nice....but I had to stop at the "samba" beat.

[VRZHN]

nice video, how is it called the yellow box you have on your left?

do you think a roland cube 20x could afford this???

@Sartori Dude seriously its much more likely to blow a set of speakers if your amp hasn't got enough power to drive the speakers...like 'ureallydontknow' said, pushing a low power amp sends clipped signals which makes the drivers move in ways they aren't supposed to!

You can run a hefty amp through lower-rated speakers without problems as long as you're sensible with the volume knob!

[Ureallydontknow]

but did you know that most blown PA speakers are a result of the amp being pushed to hard. the amp feeds the woofer a square wave and the speaker heats up and/or jumps past its maximum excursion. in my line of work, ordering parts for speakers, I see it happen all the time.

@Sartori Exaclty, speakers usally blown in that manner, not because of pitch-shifted starwars squarewaves

[theholy0]

ouch, I think to prefer this slower, much slower

[Sartori]

Wrong. Speakers can easily be blown just by putting more power through them than they are rated for handling, especially with excessive amounts of low end with lots of power.

[Sartori]

of course you can. Happens all the time.

How can distortion sound so GOOD!!!!
