| fantastic amp mate! A whole load of oomph in a lil box. I found it sounded at its best through a 2x12 but lost abit of bottom end in a 4x12, is this cause of the power rating not enough to move speakers? |

Glad to hear this and delighted that you have found it to be something you can use. Regarding the bottom end, I had played it through my cab which was an Orange PPC412 and couldn't say I really noticed, but I didn't have a 2x12 to compare at the time, what cab are you using? Sorry I can't be of more help on this point.
For true gain and tone, low wattage tube amps, turned up but not maxed out.
LittleDaveSoundEngineer made a valid and good point on your other thread, as regards tone and usability low wattage tube amps that can be driven hard are the way to go, there was definitely a buzz for years that the bigger your amps wattage was the more serious you were to be taken as a guitar player, absolute bollox, so many guitar players out there playing amps they can't even turn up past 3 on the volume, so they compensate by turning the gain up and end up with a ball of shite tone that can't cut through and muddys up the rest of the bands sound to boot - I'm not slagging off here, I have learned from this experience myself. Guys out there with great amps that are way too powerful, using shitty overdrive pedals cos they can't turn them up. I went from a a 15 watt Blues junior to amongst others an 80 watt Fender, then a 50 watt Messa Express, 30 watt Orange AD30, and finally the 15 Watt Dark Terror & a 15/30 Watt Duel Terror into 3 12" Orange cabs in stereo. My pedal board consists of a Fuzz, Wah, & Delay, no need for drive or boost pedals, that's what the amps and tubes are for and no pedal comes close.
One more important point - if I walked into a rehearsal space today to jam with a band (especially a metal band) and some guy had a 80 or 100 watt amp set up I'd walk straight back out, ears can be so easily fucked. |
