They sounded alright on their own, but were paper thin in a band mix. I had a cheap Laney combo that sounded better![/quote] Dont know about that, i used to own one of those Marshall 3540 amps. With a 2x15 it was a monsta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne, have you tried a TC450? They are not to everyones taste. I thought they were a bit muffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 [quote name='nash' post='1173496' date='Mar 23 2011, 05:37 PM']i'm a traditional guy. i can't get on with class D power amps.[/quote] Love the cleanness and light weight, and use 'em. They are so clean, however, that one perceives them as quiet compared to "real" wats of the old-school type. Simply demonstrates how little what we perceive through our hearing relates to measured specs and numbers. See also audio tapered pots, etc. I find class D gives me lots of clarity, but then I like the sound of my bass DI'd too. I also thoroughly approve of big old dirty conventional amps in some contexts. Horse for courses, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not often admittedly as I'm a metal guy. But I prefer to start from a clean slate and filth it up with pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'll only need bigger than the Super Twelve if you have to use both of 4x10"s for your gigs, it's damned loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotnwhy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have an Eden WT550 and 2x15 cab. I think it's the best of both worlds? The WT550 is by a long margin the most impressive head I've had the pleasure of using. More power than you'll need, best sounding and most versatile preamp i've used, small, 2ohm capable, and as light as is needed. The 2x15 is a freakin monster, huge sound (obviously..) but with as much punch and top end clarity as other, smaller cabs i've owned (schroeder, glock, eden 2x10). Easily moved around thanks to built in tilt-back casters. But amazingly light considering what it is! Easy to lift on your own (though it's size makes moving around once you've picked it up tricky..) and a breeze with 2 people. Also, it fits in my Nissan Micra! Deffinitely the best of both worlds!
