    I ended up getting this pedal from the reverb seller that was mentioned a while back in the thread, and have been thinking about your question. I think you could dial in no OD and use the first stage as a clean boost and the second stage dial in OD with the Pre dial? I’ll try it out tomorrow...

    Thanks! most of my gigs are small group free improv, or at venues where I’m also going through FOH and monitors so I dont plan to push this cab hard. If there’s no PA and I need to blast I’ll just bring my 122. Interesting that those replacement speakers are 200W but all the cabs are listed at...

    thanks! appreciate the advice and it’s reassuring to know plenty of other folks do it. i’m a pretty sensitive player and will bring my 122 if i’m ever not sure if the 110 will cut it!

    Hi all, I just bought a Whizzy 110 cab because im tired of hurting my back bringing my Markbass 122 to gigs where I don’t need to be that loud. I have a Little Mark III head thats 500W for 4ohms. The Whizzy cab is 250W/4ohms. Is there any rule of thumb for how to not push it too far? Like...
