If you have parallel output stages, they are mathched to the impedance of your output transformer. Pulling out tubes changes this relationship and you end up with an impedance mismatch. Probably not disastrous, but not ideal either ... Uhm... so I should set my amp out to half of the cab then... An attenuator sounds safer Speak too high and your head will fry!

If you REALLY like the Hot Rod's clean channel then try to stick with the Fender family or maybe boutique amps based on fenders. If you REALLY just like the crunch/distortion of the Hot Rod then you can branch out into other families... try to stick with amps that use 6L6 based power tubes (which means I'd steer clear of Marshall). Just some tips. Hardtail You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

If you go for the combo you can get the 2x12 cab. Nice thing with Carvin, there is no risk, order it, play it and if you don't like it return it within ten days for a full refund. They did however stop using v30 speakers due to cost and are now using Carvin speakers. They don't sound bad but many on the forums replace them with v30 or similar. Definately worth checking out and not as costly as some would think. The 50 watt combo with 2x12 cab I am looking at is under $1,000. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I like their vintages (i was going to get the vintage 16 before I got my deluxe) but I don't know if it really has the sound I'm looking for. And all of their other lines only have 100+ watts. I'd really like something under So that kind of strikes out the line 6 as well. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Obviously I need to play it, but many of my favorite players (and by extension favorite tones) play laney, such as opeth, iommi, gilbert and such. That gives laney some definite brand credibility in my eyes, and all of the clips I've heard make the GH50L sound pretty awesome, plus the price is great. The only thing I could ask for more is that the laney have a seperate clean channel but that's not a big deal. [edit] ooh, just realized it does have footswitch gain just not a different eq for clean You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's 60watts of 6l6's and its clean channel is just super, the more juice you throw it the better it sounds. Just food for thought but if your interested in clean channels the old 6l6 carvins are hard to beat and can be bought really cheap. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
