If I'm putting together a cab for a 50w amp, and I want to make sure the cab can handle the amp. In this case should I just make sure the total wattage of the speakers in the cab is at least 50w, or should it be a little more for good measure? I've read a bit on this subject, but I can't find...

I'm looking for info on the different types of speakers you may find in different amps/cabs and how they differ in tone. Does any one know of a good site or thread I could look at? ..or give a quick rundown of what's out there and what they sound like?

Are there any other 2x12 cabs you'd suggest trying with the recto? Maybe genz benz?

I have a recto 2x12 cab and i'm looking for another 2x12 to go with it--maybe an Orange. I've heard good things about them. Anyone familiar with both cabs and how they compare to each other?

I have a Nomad 55 head, and on the 8 ohm output it says "combo spkr." Does this mean that this output will work with the speaker in any combo amp or only combo amps with an 8 ohm speaker? If it only works with 8 ohm combo speakers, I don't see why they would put "combo spkr" next to it. It...

I'm not planning on trying out all of these. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of how heads work with cabs. What happens if you... 1. plug a 4 ohm cab into an 8 ohm insert? 2. plug an 8 ohm cab into a 4 ohm insert? 3. plug a 4 ohm cab and an 8 ohm cab into the same head but...

Does anyone know anything about the Epiphone So Cal 50? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-So-Cal-50-Watt-Amp-Head?sku=480289 Most of what I've heard about it has been fairly positive but always saying "for the price." There's a Youtube review about it, but not much else. I...

I tried out a roadster yesterday. It was very nice. I had some concerns about it though: The reverb in channels 3 & 4 was really subtle. I could hardly tell it was working. The sales guy said that's the way it's supposed to be. Is this true or could there be a problem with the one I tried...

I live in the states, and I will spend more if I'm happy with what I'm getting. As for tones: warm rich cleans for jazz, various types of dirty sounds for bluesy things, and various types of crunch for classic and modern rock.

pmb, what qualities do you think are going to be better with a mesa? (tone, versatility, reliabilitiy, etc.) and which mesa would you suggest?

What do you think about the dsl50? I play jazz, blues, classic rock, and modern rock. It doesn't have to do all of that, but it would be nice if it could do a good bit of it.

I'm not expecting to find one amp that can match any tone out there. If it existed I guess all the other manufacturers could stop making amps. Everyone would just buy the One. I like searching for my own tones, while being guided by the tones of artists I like. I'm just looking for some...

Ok, I can see that this is going to take quite a bit more amp trying to make a decision. How would you compare a 2x12 combo with a head of the same type and 2x12 cab?

Thanks for the advice. I'm not really expecting to match the tone I get from the Fender. If I use one amp for some things and the other amp for other things, that's fine. But if I can find an amp that can pretty much do both, that would be fine, too. ha. So a head and 2x12 cab is pretty...

Any thoughts on getting a combo vs a stack?

Something for around $2500 would be nice, but I'd be willing to spend more if the sound was right.

I'm looking for an amp to suppliment it. It's a Super Twin Reverb, and it's great for what it does. However, it doesn't do it all. I don't own anything Mesa, but I like every Mesa amp I've tried. I like to play jazz, blues, classic rock, and modern rock. My favorite bands are Steely Dan...
