OK - so this is not for you guys who want a light class D amp. It weighs a ton. Nothing exceeds like excess.

wow - 12x6L6 on the output!!! You can probably roast a chicken on that thing

wonder why they did not do the traditional Ampeg VST route - 300W from 6 KT88?

I bet that amp is LOUD Shocked

Good question but you can swap out the 6L6s for El 34s. My 85 watt Dual Showman head is just barely enough for the roots/rock band I am currently practicing with - and thats at practice! 300 watts is sounding good to me right about now....LOL

think of it this way - to get twice as loud, you would need 850W

tell your guitar player to turn down Very Happy

I'm impressed that it only weighs 51 lbs. I don't know how they do it. The Ampeg SVT weighs 80lbs.

My old Guild ThunderBass head into a smaller cab gives steel sounds I like at lower volume, or can turn into a Plexi when cranked. Great for bass too.

I have a Traynor twin 12 80 watt tube guitar amp that I use for lap or pedal and they sound great. I used a Traynor bass amp for over 25 years and never had a problem. Great amps.

I've experimented with my Ampeg B4R bass head with 4X12 enclosure. I haven't played through my Peavey Pedal Steel amp at a gig since. Lows and mids I never thought possible. As long as you don't mind carrying around an effects processor for reverb, delay, and sustain, it's awesome.
