I would do the 50W, so I could knock it down to 25W.
I have the 100W JCM900 HGDR running into a 1960AC cab. It is stupid loud. It will rattle the windows with vol. on 4.
You could play in a stadium with a 100W half stack.
to each his own...
I have the GT-10...and if you are willing to tweak the sound, you can get whatever you want out of it.
It gets a bad rap for some of the out-of-the-box patches. And it also gets a bad rap, because some people aren't willing to read the user's manual. Big mistake.
One pass...
Overall....I love to try new things. So...
Strings: EB Slinkys on right now. Love em. Tried Elixirs...didn't like them at all. I have a package of Cleartone coated strings to try once the current set of Slinkys wears out. Definitely want to try Boomers, DRs and D'As at some point...
I leave the half-stack at home and use a Boss GT-10 direct into the PA. (weekend church services)
No reason to blow the roof off with the 100W HGDR. ha.
I think the GT-10 sounds awesome with my Marshall too. I have it setup with 4-cables and use the Marshall as the preamp, and cut out all...
you're definitely not the only one...
I love my HGDR...it whips some serious ass. It can get out of control, but if you know what you're doing, it sounds awesome, IMO.
I'm running mine through a 1960AC cab, and love it. :rock:
I got my Marshall 1960AC with classic greenbacks on craigslist for $500. It is in pristine condition.
I wish I had a 1936 2x12 or one of those wide Avatar 1x12s to haul around instead. Hauling a 4x12 around sucks.
total noob question....but you still (and always) need a speaker load even if you are connecting your amp head to a PA through the "recording compensated line out" jack, correct?
Was just thinking, that if the answer to the above question was "no", then I could haul my JCM900 and hook into a PA...
