Pairing Tecamp combo with a Tecamp cab

Should be fine since they are the same make and model. The extension cab may be less open till it is broken in but will still sound pretty similar to the combo. Shouldn't take long to break in the extension cab either with some play time at reasonable levels.

 

For most drivers, 90%+ of break-in occurs within the first few hours of playing. So, no issue there.

I believe all new TecAmp cabs now have ceramic (non neo) drivers. That isn't a big deal, but my guess is, the tonality is probably a touch different. You should be OK though.

I assume your internal combo driver is 8ohm. Make sure to get a second 8ohm cab (some TecAmp cabs have a 4ohm or 8ohm option).

 

Is the tone of TecAmp more toward modern or vintage?

They have many different models and voicings. Their 'primary' heads (the current Puma500/900) are clean and warm. They don't 'grind or growl' (although they will nicely translate any of that combing from the instrument).... very pure and punchy, without being overly hi fi. The closest tone to the current Puma's I've run across is the Markbass F1/F500. Very nice heads.

They make some more 'rock' oriented heads with overdrive capability also, but never played one of those.

 

Thanks for the update. Not to derail the OP question but do you have any info on the TecAmp Puma 300? Seems perfect for me. Can't find much info.
