I remember seeing one in a music shop in dayton ohio, i don't really remember playing thru it, but just that it was the biggest amp that i had seen at that time.
i like the idea of a 15" speaker in a guitar amp. has anyone ever tried one of these out? or is there another amp/manufacturer that makes a 15" speaker guitar amp.
or is it just crap altogether and i should stick with 10" and 12" speakered combo style stuff?

They can be great. The current Fender Excelsior has a 15" speaker and the Peavey Delta Blues uses one, too. It's basically a Classic 30 but with a bigger speaker.

There might be others.

i played thru an excelsior and didn't even relize there was a 15" in there. it was a damn nice amp tho... i loved the styling of it, and it had great response....
i guess i was jut concerned that it may be too middy or "boomy" sounding, and the clarity would be lost with the bigger speaker, but perhaps not.

Marshall have made 15 inch speaker combos before as well - I have a JTM 60 with 1x15

Marshally really, just with a little more defined bass. I never crank it really so I don't know what it sounds like near the limit.

I speak about this amp way too much here, but If you can find one, the silverface Vibrosonic Reverb is a Twin with a 15" and beefier output transformer. It's my favorite amp in the world. Mine's a '73 and cost $600 in 2004.

The same amp chassis is in this, the Twin, Super Six, Quad, and Dual Showman.
