I've been thinking about getting rid of my LSS 1x12 combo for awhile. I even put it up for sale once, but pulled the advert due to not really feeling like dealing with shipping a combo.
The thing is, I love the LSS... I just can't find a use for it's tone. It's great at what it does, it's just not great for me. If I were a country player or a blues player I suspect I would use it more, but as a rock player it's just a little too laid back and dark sounding.
Well, tonight on a bit of a whim I plugged it into my Recto 2x12. Lets just say that I was pretty surprised. I knocked it up into 'thick' and got a great crunch sound out of it. I used to only think the LSS was really good for mild overdrive and heavy overdrive... very fat and oriented more towards lead than rhythm with no good crunch tone in sight. Through the Recto 2x12 however it had a much tighter and brighter sound, yet not too bright. Very crunchy.
I've been thinking about buying a JTM45 for bar gigs for awhile now. Simple amp... pure rock and roll. Now I'm thinking I'm just going to convert my LSS combo to a head version and use it with a closed back cab.
