It's definitely good enough when coming from the heart!

Not my guitar, but I loaded two Marshall G12 Vintage speakers that seem to basically be brand new into my empty (now half empty) Mojotone British 412. Now to decide what speakers to pair with it.
Anyone have any ideas on wiring the two speakers currently in their in parallel (so two 16ohm speakers = 8ohm total) with only a single wire from the input jack's tip and sleeve each?

Connect 1 of the speakers's negative terminal to the 2nd speaker's negative. Do the same with the positive terminal. Now run a set of wires (positive and negative) from one of the speakers terminals to the jack. Like this:
not my drawing, and sub the 8s with 16. should be good.

Recorded some rough scratch tracks of some new material
In the process ran my mark v for like 5 min without a load because I dropped my captor and the cable popped halfway out without me realizing when I was setting up
Amp seems fine tho

Figured I might as well post it up since I don’t open the ol DAW much. But then I thought it sounded boring without drums so I entered into my personal hell trying to put together shit in 7 from grooves in the demo version of ssd5. They’re whack as hell and kind of gave up 
One take/one track live looping
With drums:
Without drums:
Cleans sound ok but the distorted “Djent” part at the end sounds kinda bad

That would make two 16ohms equal a total of 8ohms, correct? Thanks!Connect 1 of the speakers's negative terminal to the 2nd speaker's negative. Do the same with the positive terminal. Now run a set of wires (positive and negative) from one of the speakers terminals to the jack. Like this:

Sorry for your loss, brother.
FWIW, the last several months I've been losing my best friend to mental illness and 2 days ago I had to tell him I can't have him in my life anymore because he won't get help and his behavior is dangerous, to say the least. Last night was the first time I picked up a guitar in about 10 days, I opened Logic and started recording the first thing that came out and for a second I thought, "Nah, this is cliched crap", but I kept going because it really doesn't matter if it's "good enough" for anyone else, it's what we needed at the time it came out.

Spa day for the Orville. It was in need of a string change and I never actually set it up in D-standard, I just threw heavier strings on it a few months back so I figured I'd get it set up correctly. Wanted to try top-wrapping this one, I'm on the fence with it on my Edwards. Man, that G-string really takes a hit with tension, but I love it with the other strings.
There's a certain unplugged/acoustic sound Les Pauls get when the setup is just right where it comes alive, I'm assuming it's just that relationship of string tension/nut height/action, but once ya get it and the thing sings without being plugged in, it's goooood.

Played the little Fucher this morning. Also restrung and cleaned up 3 guitars over the last few days. Waiting on some music nomad detailer to try on my Les Pauls when I do those.

I can't put the thing down for very long, it just sounds so fucking good. I think I'm going to get it re-fretted this year, my only gripe is my fingers slide off the fret ends because I'm just used to med/jumbo or jumbo frets.

What string gauge do you use for d standard?
I'm a goldtop man but honestly that's a really good looking les paul.

10-52's. I might try a higher gauge for the g-string because that fucker is just a floppin', but everything else perfect. I've been using this gauge for D-standard/drop C for the last 22 years or so, but on 25.5" guitars, there's definitely some differences.

Wow I thought you were gonna say 12s for tuning down to drop c on a 24.75 scale. I'd definitely go up a size or two on the g string if you're top wrapping.

So far I've looked at them. I just might get the chance to play one today but my oldest daughter has had focused dance rehearsals all this week leading up to her triple performance this weekend and tonight is show #2.
