    here is the .44 in action (attached). it powers a Bogner Alchemist 2×12. i had my concerns, played the first gig with it last weekend, sound man said ‘turn down’ during sound check. feel more comfortable now. also lots of “so where’s your head” comments. really happy with it.

    preface: i know, i really need to just go test this at the store and hear for myself, but…

    im looking to join this band, and i really dont have the funds to purchase a new amp head (yet). i was wondering if anyone has experience using the 22 caliber powering a marshall 4×12 1960A 300w (or comprable). i plan to run some pedals infront of the ’22; when the fx pedal(s) are bypassed, i want to have clean sounds. When they are engaged i’d have overdriven sounds. They are mainly alice in chains songs, so full on distortion (with occational shimmery clean).

    The concern is that, as i understand, when you turn up the knob on the ’22, its gets louder, but also more dirty. if im trying to compete against another half stack, when i turn up to match distortion volumes, when switch back to clean, is it going to be clean, or will be dirty?

    The case where the caliber fails when you use ONLY your guitar seems the most concerning.
    As i understand, the caliber will only shutoff where there is a speaker load issue. The .pdf says “The 22 CALIBER may have trouble driving loads under 8 ohms if the output is overdriven.” The behavior you describe seems to suggest either your cab is not 8ohms or maybe one or more of the speakers are bad or not the originals.

    i would suggest trying another cab (maybe at a guitar store) with ONLY your guitar and see if the caliber shutsoff. If it does, its possible you have a bad caliber. If it works fine on other cabs, then there’s probably something wrong with your cab.

    anyone do extensive testing with a 4ohm cab? i’ve read places that it doesn’t work at all or is significantly different that running it through an 8 or 16ohm cab. i know the manual says 8 and 16 is preferred, but if they know it doesn’t perform as well on a 4ohm cab, why even promote that.
