I think im going to go with a 2x12 cabinet by Avatar speakers with 2 vintage 30s with a closed back. Should be pretty sweet. I will most definitely review it once i get it and work out some good settings, but that shouldn't be too hard. I'm fond of the vintage 30's and I've heard only good of Avatar. 2x12 is just about right too. Man, your setup will rock! -------------------- My bands homepage

I owned a TSL for years and while I loved it for distortion I never liked the clean channel on it. WAY too bright and crisp for my tastes. Sounds like solid state that has been cleaned up digitally. Eventually I set the Rhythm channel up to be clean and the Lead channel up for crunch. hehe
But still an awesome toy! Have fun man!

the parents wanted to know what i want for christmas now, that I've already procured my dream amp, so I think im going to get a Boss SD-1 overdrive pedal, their noise gate pedal, and maybe a digital delay. Check out this video on youtube to see the overdrive and noise gate in action on a TSL60... the playing starts at about 1:20

I like the crunch/growl when the SD-1 kicks in. Don't forget that he is using a THD hot plate - very effective for taming the incredible volume of a tube amp - even a 60W tube amp. I assume you know what these do, if not do some research on the net. Oh yes, definitely need a digital delay. Sounds like you will have a great Christmas - the best part early. |

yeah i know how brutal 60watts of tube power can be, and I do plan on getting a hotplate or a weber MASS for it, I'm just going to wait until I pick out my cab. Oh and a question about power attenuators, I know your supposed to buy one that at least handles the power of your amp but most come in a 50w or 100w denomination, the 50w's are much cheaper usually by about $50-$100 then the 100w's so would i be ok to use a 50watt attenuator on my 60 watt amps? Sure, if you want to blow up the attenuator then destroy your output transformers due to the open circuit I guess, I mean no really - I wouldn't risk it as you could damage more than just the attenuator. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

so i guess the 100watter is is, I asked because their 100w version is verified to work with the 120w tube heads. I really don't wanna blow it up so I'll play it safe i guess This is common amongst many brands. I have yet to figure it out. My TSL100 head actually put out 120 watts. as I recall But if it says 50watts you can rest assured it can only handle 50 watts.
