Which is more important, the amp or the cab ?

[BigRedX]

Everything's equally important from the way you pluck the string to the acoustics of the room your cabs are in. You can't single out any one element over any of the others. Also it's important that all the parts of your signal chain work well together.

neither - the most important bit is the cable connecting them

more attention to the amp because it's got more knobs

once i sit on the cab I tend to forget it

I'm guessing you didnt try a barfaced compact ...

Both are equally important. I spent almost an equal amount on amp and cab, slightly more on the amp actually for my little rig.

I spent more on my Barefaced Compact and just £200 on my Harley Benton head and it works for me. If I had more to spend I would change the head yes, but the cab is a keeper!
