MGR/bluesloverPeavey 160W MACE
Published on 04/21/10 at 15:00I put an ad on craig's list for a speaker cab for 2 12's and I didn't care if it had speakers in it or not. I was willing to spend 40 bucks.

I needed 4ohms. The amp head after doing some reading on the internet and discovered that shorting main power tubes is ok as long as you pull them evenly from both sides. When I got it it had them all on one side. Pluged in 73 strat and speaker cab and let her rip. WoWawowowa. I hooked it up to clean channel and used a real 12ax7 stomp box to get the drive I wanted.
Well it won't even come close to my JCM 2000 with 4 greenbacks....But for 40 bucks I can leave this at the studio and save my back for the real thing.
