Excuse my lack of knowledge on guitar music, but what is a cabinet?stag wrote: Also cabinets are a major factor on how they sound. Hook a tiny 100watt 30th anniversary combo to a 4x12 closed back cabinet and you get a whole different beast.
And you guys have answered more questions then I could have asked, Thanks.

Drive your own mixer right up into the red until it distorts to experience your own cheap analouge distortion.
PS: Seriously, this works a treat if you have a nice mixer Mackie or better!!

My beloved Bassman (just sold) had 7 - 3 preamp, 4 power stage, and that was mono with a solid-state rectifier. Just imagine what it could have been....

Barry who runs Ampmaker is a fantastic human being. He always answers questions with patience and honesty; I can't say enough good things about him.

+1 for AX84, bloody shame I really don't have the energy.
Valve amps don't always dept. - I used to have a little red guitar amp with only ONE tube and an EMI elliptical speaker. Sounded great but quiet, wish I still had it!
