Seriously though....what is your current setup? Something 2204-ish? Easy to build into a 1x12 combo, and also easy to build into a lower power thing if you want to run a half stack. Either of those would get you there.

Keith Levene, Agostino Tilotta, Juan Maclean. But in general I agree.

Revoiced 2204. It's not too complicated. I tossed in a Depth/Resonance control for good measure.

I used a half stack for a long time because I have been playing with drummers that were loud as hell. Plus, I already owned the gear. I've always thought in the back of my mind "It'd be great to have a 1x12" combo version of my amp, maybe with slightly reduced power." I always just used Helix at home and the big amp with humans.

Now the new drummer and new band is NOT playing at fuck-you volume. I can use my TL-806 cabs and the existing head, sure. The allure of a grab-one-thing and being able to plug straight in (or close to it) is very strong.

Ahhh yeah i'd just make a 1x12" version with a post-PI master for light volume trimming.

Can I steal the "fuck you volume" drummer?

The term, go ahead. The human? Sadly, he is no longer with us on earth.

For Your Consideration

I would totally play that thing!

My cable confession is I prefer curly cables for guitar. I got one years ago because it would not get stuck in my volume pedal when playing lap steel. I think they are cool and great. The ones Fender makes currently are built well and come in a bunch of colors, also they go on sale a lot because many people think they are dated and hideous.

I confess that after years of gradually putting together a recording rig I said fuck it and got rid of my interface and preamps and shit. I have friends and acquaintances who have great gear and far more knowledge than me, and if I really need to record something for the ages I'd rather hang out with them to do it. I'm down to a small digital multitrack for demos and a few decent mics. It sounds better than it needs to and if somebody asked me to send them a guitar track for their project I could still get a respectable result with it.

You were there, not me, but I get a shitty vibe.

Nah, not as bad as it may sound, some weirdos in person give a heavy a*tist vibe that you just kind of roll with

I’m all about the D’addario flat patch cables.
