+1 to your .02.

When I first plugged into my Amber/Berg12 I was blown away.
Magical sound. The head room is killer. Unfortch, I'm already thinking of selling it. If only I played out more. As is my gigs are 90% slab.

I have an old MI-225 stereo WW and eventhough I have a AI Focus 2r III as well, I find myself craving thw WW lately. W/ one Wizzy M-line 12 the WW has a certain Mojo that the Focus is lacking. The Focus is great as well and more convenient as Unky Toad says. I can use two Wizzy M's w/it since the Focus can run on 2 ohms and has much more power. This must be the lightest "stupid loud" rig ever, but to get my sound I find I have to tweak and twist knobs more than w/ the WW.

This past couple of weeks I've been using the WW and one WizzyM outside on some loud doubling gigs. I was floored by how much fat, clear bottom I was getting out of this little rig Rockin' out outside on BG. DB tone is fab too, but w/ my older Realist I do have to crank the master and pre amp gain knobs to cut thru w/ very loud bands. But after all t's a lower power WW from the early 80's. No gain issues w/BG

BG.
