pretty dam good. i'm dying to try some fuzzes into it. tone bender into this would be the tits!! from a bit of research online, a lot of people rate the box of rock, hot cake and direct drive into them. boosts should be good too. i dimed it in the shop and it was a proper hairs on the neck moment. this was through the matching 4x12. i settled on a 2x12 as i thought the 4x12 would be overkill for the band and at home. i still have my h&k cabs which would run fine on this, but it looks better to have the real deal cab.

yep, matching cabs ftw!

i've heard a lot of good things about the and box of rock, but i don't think we can get the hot cake here in the states.

I'm guessing that's the 1922 cab rather than the 1936?

It's a TSLC212 cab.

And it sounded amazing!!!! Didn't need a drive pedal, bar a little bit of clean boost for a solo or two.

Was that taken in the shop or at your practise space? Looks a little swish for either!

Jeez. I believe I had one of those in 1975, paid £80 for it second-hand.
