Hah ! Thanks… I’m in Austin [not from there but living there now.]
I saw a EH English Muffin somewhere that I could try out……….sixtiesrejectMemberHhmmm… I’d like to “A / B ” one of those tube units against my Jekyll & Hyde…..
sixtiesrejectMemberAnybody using any tube pre-amps ?? Curious as to if the overall quality of the sound is noticeably “better” .
sixtiesrejectMemberHello Hello–
Yep, I’m very experienced with speaker characteristics and swapping…that’s why I’m using the G 12 H [original 30-watters] with most of my gear [but like I mentioned I MAY use a different Celestion in my 1-12″].
Agree about the “bass & treble” controls especially since the 44 Mag seems to be a little full-sounding and “bottom heavy”. I have a few different pre-amps and vintage overdrives and fuzzes so it’s been fun swapping them around. One unit that works pretty well is an original Jekyll & Hyde [surprise!] . This one may be a keeper… I’ll see!sixtiesrejectMemberHello Hello–
Yep, I’m aware of speaker efficiency and sensitivity . Right now I’m using a single 12″ cab with a Celestion G12 H [ 8 ohm ] and I may change to a different speaker after the rig has been “gig-tested”.
I am doing the same as you….. using a pre-amp in front of the 44 and then into the speaker [am curious as to which pre amp will work best for me] and anything that gets me close to a “Marshall Plexi” sound will work. I’ve spent many centuries using Marshalls and Vox so my ears are “tuned” to that type of sound. Thanks for yer experience!sixtiesrejectMemberO.K., so there is a drop in power from 8 – 16 ohms ! Thanks… I want the full 44 watts for clean headroom.
