Mixer on top of amp head OK?

[Doug Parent]

Perhaps it's time for a new superstition on the subject. Any ideas?

I had a "shake and bake" table for accelerated aging years ago, but these days experience and modeling goes a long way towards getting to the same place... and it's so much quieter

You talking about age instruments? Does it work?

Aging of amplifiers for reliability purposes.

Awe I've heard of doing both.. To wear in a neck and testing soldiered components.

Mil spec I hope!

Military specs for electronic? Lol

Absolutely, I worked for a guy who had a multi-million dollar business manufacturing mil spec wire and connector harnesses for both the military and aerospace industry. I went through the inspection program and learned the ins and outs of qualifying a part through the various standards for certification. So much depended on traceability of components, materials, the processes the tolerances and the testing. That's why the parts are so much more expensive.

so for anyone who don't follow that.. they literally try to break every component. if it survives the hell they put it through. It goes up for sale.. you pay a small premium but there's less chance of getting bad part..

For real military qualified parts, it's a lot more than a small premium.

It's more about insuring quality and reliability through design, fabrication and inspection than it is testing it after it's manufactured.

great parts are worth the cost if you are going use them..

Do you think this arrangement can cause problems?

Hi Emre Hanli

You have to be careful with your mixer!

Accidents can happen when you use it!

may the bass be with you

I think that's how drummers get their training.

Priceless!

Only if they are necessary. The parts may be the same but the additional paperwork, traceability and testing is what adds much of the cost.
