Comments such as 'The stock speaker sounds like the car speaker I bought cheap from The Warehouse' do not bode well for the quality of the little thing. A vintage 30 speaker might sound better, but the accented mids and highs might not be your thing. Wattage overkill too. Celestion tube 10?

Amp sounds great BG, get the other half some earmuffs and yourself a new quad.

might be able to shoehorn a 10" into the cab

I'll explore the options. Next stage is getting some JJ's in there courtesy of Rob

and a bright switch

I'm thinking the Greenback 10" that Celestion are due to release could be a good option ... unfortunately, like the Alnico Gold, there'll probably be months between when they're supposed to come out and when they actually do.

You could always do the Mr May trick and stack then 3x3 along the back of the stage.

Could you cut the cab down and just use it as a head with the Cab

Yep could cut it down easily enough but then I'd rather keep it as a practice amp. I've got a Marshall 36 Watt kit on its way from the States - got to take advantage of the interest rates

- which I'm hoping will be my main amp in future

though mine is just the barebones kit, I'll need to nail some planks together to make a cab or use some lovely MDF perhaps....

bonnet scoops and all...nice...

ooh - and vox grille cloth... even betterer!

Post by Bg » Fri Aug 03, 2007 8:43 am

it won't be in a vox box, it'll be Marshall

An AC30 will tend to stay clean and jangly longer than a regular 36W. And when the 36W breaks up it will give you the classic Marshall growl.
