I'll bet I would, but I'm broke a lot! I just scored an old A.M.P. BH420 for $300, and that's all folks until next year (it's a back-up for the TE head). But I won't poo-poo the new mini-heads,...

You do get headroom though, which is going to be meaningful. An amp you run close to its output threshold sounds different than an amp which can "relax" because it's got power to spare. And you can...

Any self-respecting carpenter will be affronted if you tell them they can't use their Estwing hammer. They just ain't hearing that kind of thing unless it's a sensible point in their view.

You know, I would walk out too if they demanded what axe I play. But I might audition for a gig where the req was a Fender. Might be a good reason why. Otherwise, I'm the bass player, deal with it.

Tried the kick-back version. Tight and warm, not obnoxious but sits very nice in a small band. Does not get lost. Neat amp, I'd get one if I had the scratch.

Have you tried standing the SWR on it's side? Word has it that speakers arranged in a vertical orientation will give up a more 'hearable' sound, and a little more of it. Dunno, just a thought. ...

Nothing wrong with an old beat up amp! Doesn't the SWR do it for you? Man, I'd use that Super Redhead with an extension cab- maybe a Bag-End SD-15. Done deal.

No one's going to kill you bro. Now, my Burner is very upper-midsy-honky when passive. I need a new pre circuit and can't afford it yet, so I'm just doing passive. I am not getting on with it yet,...

Do you happen to know the frequencies where the EQ affects the signal for lo and hi? It's shelving, I would assume. I'm just interested.
