Stand that cabinet on it's end for better dispersion into the room.

It's low passed on one woofer so it can be stacked in the horizontal just fine. All the BF trad looking cabs are like that.

I had a moment of madness and put one of my valve amps up for sale over the weekend, luckily I had a change of heart 🥵

I actually sold my ctm100 , found it a bit impractical for the kinda bands I was playing with.

Gigged my Ashdown Drophead 200 head with a Mesa 1x15 and Mesa 16 (1x10, 2x6) and if bandmates and audience are to be believed, the effect in the room was at times visceral. The Drophead is not the most versatile of units by comparison with my Mesa heads, but it does has something rather special lurking in the glass 👍

You beat me to it, Chris. 

These VAVs don't know what they're missing. And a valve pre-amp with a Class D is like Guinness Zero (I knows, I got one).

I had my first Guinness Zero last night. The first few sips are pretty convincing, but by the end of the glass I'm noticing some odd flavour notes that don't quite sit right.

I'll be taking at least 3 big old valve monsters (with valve power sections) to the South West Bass Bash and if anyone has an 8x10 they could bring along, we could do a VAV initiation for a small donation.
