Going to withdraw this amp and work on swapping out my cab for some thing a bit less mid-voiced than the Aguilar DB112 I currently have. 

I will leave the pics up though as it's gawjus...

wonderful head - fond memories of mine

 

and it's got to be said - these are not 250 regular watts, they are tracewatts which are at least 5 times as powerful as regular watts

 

don't argue with me please, I am a scientist

There is something to this. 5x is an exaggeration but I can't put my finger on how badly.

 

Ime I had a 300w per channel power amp which I verified the no load voltage at onset of clip as spot on for its 300w rating. Using the same cab it sounded like it was missing about 100w worth of welly compared to the 250w Trace amp.

We should form a buyers cooperative with the sole purpose to educate those up and down the country who have never experienced the joy of playing through such a beast.
