In the DRRI it's not a speaker issue. I believe the C12K is rated at 100 watts and I have plugged my Bandmaster head thru it and no flub at higher volumes. It has to do with power, it could be the OT or the 6v6s, but it's definitely not speaker related. I have a Celestion Gold in there now, same story.

its older robin williams move.


Flubber was originally from an old Fred MacMurray "The Absent Minded Professor" Redone as "Flubber" in 1997 with Robbin Williams. Not to be confused with "The Son of Flubber" LOL

:lol: Who is Fred MacMurray? :lol: Most young folks don't know! I'm 63 in October so it is from back in the day when I was young! I remember those good old movies!

Didn't he say that he already swapped speakers, and it did not help? Also played through an external 15 inch speaker, still had "flubber ? Doesn't seem to be a speaker issue. :?

Could still be a tube issue or a component just went south. It may need to be repaired and not modded. :wink:

It's a possibility, I will let an expert make that decision, I'm not doing any work, tubes and speaker is as far as I go :) If he doesn't find anything wrong with it then I'll have him do the Fritz mods.

To the OP: The amp is designed to run at 8 ohms. If you put 2 8 ohm speakers in parallel you drop the total load to 4 ohms, this will stress the output transformer and shorten the life of your amp. you can run another 8ohm 1x12 cab in series for a total of a 16 ohm load. This will not be as efficient but will not hurt the amp. For an easy fix to the impedance problem you can get a 2x12 cab with 1 8ohm and 1 16ohm speaker. Run the 8ohm in series with the speaker in the cab (for 16 ohms) then run both of those in parallel with the 16ohm speaker and the net will be 8ohm total load. It would be easy enough to wire up a switching jack to correct the configuration.

Here is a cheesy diagram.

+ 8ohm - + 8ohm -
+ 16 ohm -
