I use all the controls set flat (no boost and no cut)! I play this baby through an Eden WTX 260 and a Aguilar GS112 cabinet.

Just wanting to see how much of the amps power you are utilizing. At 8 ohms, you're getting around 180W from the 260. The WTX-260 can handle a 4-ohm load with an output somewhere in the 300W+ range. Since you only have an 8-ohm cabinet, this is good, because you could add one more 8-ohm cabinet (connected parallel) and get the most from that amp and additional coverage if needed. You may not need it, however, if you ever do, you can. You would be impressed!

That's true Tim. I got the 8 ohm because i only play small gigs and use the amp mostly for praticing, so i don't need much power. And , as you said, i can always add another cab.

Hey,

This is my Ken Smith BSRMW 5 string, strung up E to C. It feels and sounds absolutely amazing.

Here I am playing some gypsy jazz with it.
