Morning All,
I'm in a bit of a quandry -
Last week I purchased a Marshall 1960AHW 4x12 with the intent of running it from various combos or heads I have laying around.
Problem is, I do not specifically have any 'marshall' heads, for example JTM45 / plexi / jcm800 / jvm410 etc.
Now obviously a 4x12 can be brutal from a power handling capacity, but I'm looking for something in the 20-50w range in terms of a head.
There are so many heads on the market now that I just cannot keep track of them, much less have time to demo any.
I wish to avoid modelling amps, as they are not really my thing.
I already have fender bassman, twin reverb, JC120, AC30, and a boss katana 100, any of which I could plug into the cab, but I am not sure.
What I do know though, is that I am not an "orange" guy, and while I love a plexi as much as the next guy, I'll need a decent reactive load to keep the peace with the neighbours if I want to get the right crunch out of one - not to mention I like having my hearing.
So does anyone have a suggestion?
I'm halfway between a hybrid and all valve.
It's really easy to get lost in all the choices.
I guess the last option is to build my own again, but I'm sure those of you who work on stuff will understand what I mean when I say I just want to plug in and play.
hit me up with some suggestions - I know there are far too many out there to choose from.
Oh, just as background on tone - I play pretty much every genre except djent. I have LP's, strat's, hollowbodies and offsets. I don't have any P90's.
feel free to paste URL links to stuff you like, because I'm lost in choice.
