And there's more.

We've got a new guitarist

My interest is somewhat piqued.

Also need to consider what frequencies are actually being produced and how audible they are. High pass filters do wonders for making sure power gets used in an efficient way. BTW, my WB100 replaced a valve-pre (Ampeg SVP) and a 460W Mosfet power amp. I play in a loud band. Two heavy guitarists. Tone is different with the WB100, but I don't struggle to keep up any more than I did with my old amp. In fact quite the opposite. Grit, grind and clank would be all too easy. I play a P with the tone sometimes rolled completely off and use flats. I like a good, thick, warm and meaty low end, with a little bit of sizzle on the top, which is a particularly power hungry tone. I sometimes use a high pass filter to get that little more juice out of it sometimes too, but not all of the time. If I put more mids into that and drove it, nobody would be hearing a drummer. It would be earsplittingly painful. One caveat is that when I changed amp, I also changed cab from a Gen II Barefaced Compact to a Gen III Barefaced Super Twin, so there would be a db increase there.

You can watch us play the whole of the Harvest album on the 1st of Feb. Apparently it's a big thing. https://www.facebook.com/events/3333762510198250/?ref=newsfeed

Fat and happy... Sometimes.

I’ve gigged my wb100 probably 20 times or so, maybe more. I’ve never had anyone say the DI is hot. that said, I run the gain at 4 max and the master volume up full.

Here's us playing the whole Harvest album @ The Musician, Leicester Was about 35c

I find it interesting when people talk about FOH and monitoring with loud amps and cabs. I like all the amplification I can get.

Yep. Me too. I've been hankering for something like this for a while. I have a gen 2 compact as well, which I leave at home at the moment. This would be an ideal replacement. My super twin lives at the studio and I gig with that. So it's either/or. Would be nice to have the option of either/or/both. But yeah, it would have to be a 4Ohm extension otherwise nothing doing. And my amp is 4 or 8 Ohm, which I don't have any intention of replacing at the mo. Edit - And £900. lol.
