Members garageman Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 Elliott, Are you after just a head ? or a combo ??IF it's just a head you want, then mating it with theright speakers is just as important to getting a good sound.

Members Elliott Damage Posted April 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 alright, i'm adding to my own post. I want something that will stay pretty clean. I want a head if possible because i already have two MadSound (a 2x10 and a 4x10 www.madsound.com for those who are curious) I've been looking at some Mesa's with EL-84's. The Blue Angel, Maverick and Lonestar Special all look cool. I'm also looking around for .50 Caliber's etc. Right now i'm playing through my girlfriends litte brother's Mesa Studio Caliber. I'm pulling some nice clean sounds out of this little amp (run through my 2x10). My pedals sound fugging great, the gainster and direct drive both sound fantastic. The Direct Drive sounds like {censored} through the Route 66. Through the Mesa, it's perfect. I've never had the Studio Caliber extremely loud so i don't know what kind of headroom it has but to have such a nice clean sound even when playing a Les Paul style guitar is quite an accomplishment as far as i'm concerned. I do know that it gets loud in a hurry though. I keep the Master on 1.5 for household playing. I'm just playing around with ideas. I don't know what i'm gonna get but i do know i want a nice chimey clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 You can always use a combo to power a cab ya know. I was amazed how good my Blues Jr. sounded hooked up to a good 4x12 cab. I want a Mesa Blue Angel bad. Those things sound sweet. I'll always probably end up buying combos, because I like having the option of them standing alone or hooking them up to separate speakers.

I do think that as long as you're able to mic cabs though, a smaller 15-18w combo isn't much heavier as many heads, and they can also double as kickass practice amps.

If it's got enough juice i may just buy it for cheap. haha, maybe ill cut it up and make a head out of it. or stick a loud eminence 12 in there.

I've seen some Bassman head cut up and put inside a cab with speakers, so no reason why you can't do the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
