Great review! Also you rip as a guitar player in the sense that your ability to adjust your playing to create different dynamic senses for the settings on the amp is wonderful to be able to hear how the effects of the guitar player really changed the character of presentation of the amp itself!

I did it with the PV2 12 cabinet. Also run it into a 1960 Marshall 4x12. I run a custom tube preamp from the emulated speaker out into my daw as well as mic up both of the speakers which are both different on the 212. Talk about a sound. I had the original 1990 classic 50 2x12 without effects loop and that thing was a beast. I'm sad I ever sold that, but the good thing is I can drop this baby down to 5 watts or even go to silent recording without scaring my neighbors. What a rocking rig. Next is tube upgrades as well as probably modifying the mid-range circuit

I've had one of these for a little over a year now, and it is very impressive for the size of the head. I find the reverb to be kind of horrible and artifact laden when palm muted, so I got a Secret Path reverb pedal and turned the reverb knob to zero. Got sick of the wickywickywicky sounds. I am running mine with the 2x12 cabinet. Big clean sounds with plenty of headroom.

Thanks, a very useful and well-executed video! I've always played open-backed combos, but may experiment as you have done, if I go for a cabinet. I have the same Peavey head and am actually wondering whether to go for the 1x12 or 2x12 cabinet for live band use. We don't play all that loud so the 1x2 may be enough. But if I play safe and go for the 2x12 the weight is a killer at my age (I'm a senior weekend warrior, been playing since the 1960s when I saw Jimi Hendrix live...)
@JayLeonardJ Жыл бұрын
2x12 does fill in a LOT of space and has a nice tonal texture to it. I think of it more as a eq thing that a volume: the 1x12 is really direct and the 2x12 has this width that is really great
