I'm a combo guy. What are you?
YellowJacket said:I definitely prefer a head to a Combo. While I can understand the convenience of a combo, I prefer a head only because I have the option of trying to many speaker cabinets with it. It really allows me to customize my gear and easily so!

I don't like my tubes being attacked by sound waves in combo amps.
I enjoy swapping speakers and speaker cabs.
I like the look of the heads better than the combos.
I prefer lifting heads to combos.

Heavy? absolutely, but with a Gator rotomold amp case with casters it's totally manageable. Aside from that, the speaker outs on the combo let me use different cabs when I want to.

Weight
Size
Easy to swap cabinet
Can play with a load box and no cabinet
Generally hate any cabinet smaller than 2x12, can't lift a 2x12 combo

+1.
I've had a couple of occasions where I had a great sounding amp coupled to a mediocre sounding cab. Kind of a shame...
