Sounds good to me. Currently my bedroom is occupied by one Mesa Dual Rectifier Solo Head, two 1970s Superleads, a 2203, and a Blackstar JJN20 along with five 4x12s and a 1966B 2x12.
Thats kinda my set up. In my wildest dreams never thought the amps would be in the master & the hospital bed in the LR. Nothing like a Recto & 100 watt Marshall in the bedroom tho, got things covered.

what are those voiced like?

Great cleans with a tube driven long reverb tank and as you turn it up, it’s really dirty, almost metal.
I can’t really say for sure, it’s not Marshall but close, it’s not Fender but close. It’s just a Boogie voice.
Two el84’s and 4 12ax7’s. 10” vintage black shadow speaker.

What could be the advantage /benefits to play with a 1x12" or 2x12" cab in terms of sound?

I know, stereo effects... But I mean mono. Not advanced stereo things. Same sound and plug.
1x12 or 2x12 and why ?
In terms of sound,
volume, headroom. All parameters..

What actually is a 10" Black Shadow?

I know 12" Black Shadow MC90's are a Celestion g12-80 variant, but what are the 10's?

Not really sure. I think it’s a Celestion. It just says Vintage Black Shadow. Made in the UK sticker on the side.

Hi guys.
I have played the sv20H and sc20H today in the guitar center.....
Definitely, I think the SC20 is absolutely not the same way tonaly wise as the SV20.

The SC20 lack of bass and warmth. It is not comparable to the SV20.

So I've take a sv20c combo with me at home, for testing.
The sound in clean (channel 2) is incredible. Exactly what I what. Warm and full.

I've tested my boss od200 in it.
10" loudspeaker is clearly
Shit for metal. It's over distorted.
To much power for this little 10" (I don't know the terms for this)

I have to try the head with 12" or tomorrow with my 4x12" in 2x8 ohms config.
