can you put a vol control on a PA horn?
My other guitar player is looking for a bit more high treble, both for his strat and for his harmonica - running both through his old Fender PA 100 head, into an E130 JBL right now. Until he finds exactly what he's looking for in a cabinet, I was toying with tossing one of our spare horns into the mix.
I have the Xover built into the horn box btw.
Can you run the speaker input jack through a pot? If so, what size pot would you want?
Do you run it to ground, or bleed it off to a resistor? I've got some 8 ohm 15 watt concrete type resistors, I was considering I could take 2 parallel pairs in series, that should come back with 8 ohm x 60 watts (same theory as a 4x12 cab), correct?
Or can this simply not be done? I'm wondering if this requires an attenuator, which would be way too expensive for this little exercise.
