Aguilar

Last night I brought out my TH350 and two SL112 cabinets, taking them to a gig where I always struggle to get a good sound-- it's always been too boomy, indistinct sounding. I stopped using the TH350 and SL122's about two years ago, having decided it/they didn't deliver what I really wanted and that I hadn't mastered the drive control. (I did keep them in my practice room and used them there).

Lo and behold, FINALLY I got a terrific tone in that room! The drive control helped deliver a clear, more cutting tone, but there was still ample bottom. I was actually quite impressed and surprised. Sometimes you drift away from gear, then rediscover it. This my story. I am going to bring that rig to more places and see how it deals. Right now I am very pleased with the TH350 and SL-112's.

Absolutely!! When used in the right proportions with the gain control and mid voicing, the drive control is actually a more musically complex version of a HPF (with some LPF characteristics as well I think) that is sort of magical. Given that we're all mostly used to one control at a time doing a specific EQ or mid-scoop/color kind of thing, this is what makes that learning curve withe TH so tricky IMO. However, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty impressive what you can do.

Tonehammer 500 and GS112+GS112NT here. This rig can do it all. From vintage to modern. It's all in there once you learn how to find it.
Never any problems and I also owned the AG500SC, DB112x2 and DB210. Loved all of them. Settled on my current mix as I feel it's super versatile.

I have a Greenboy cab rig for larger venues and a smaller Aguilar amp and cab for the smaller gigs/practice. I find myself playing the Aguilar a lot more as I really enjoy the tone. Personal preference but I prefer vintage sounds.
