Tip o' the week - Quick trick for the 4-10 DeVille

I recently fielded a call from a harp player in Spain with a 4-10 Blues Deville, who was looking for mods that might tame feedback a little. First I said that a smaller amp would be a good idea, but then I suggested disconnecting two of the speakers. He called back a half-hour later and reported excellent results. The Deville's speakers are connected with push-on terminals which makes it easy to "re-wire." Sometimes a loud amp can be a little less prone to feedback with fewer speakers. Try it next time you play a small gig.
