Really considering the Ampeg PF-20T

[Jerrysallis]

Any recommendations for a 1x8 or 1x10 cabinet to put under a PF 20 for a really good woody/airy sound?

Works very nicely with a Barefaced 2x12

I am sure it does, but what I asked about was a 1x8 or 1x10 cabinet. A 2x12 is not in the list of possibles for me, thanks anyway.

not sure how woody/airy sounds, but I like this 1x 10

Personally, if a small footprint is a priority I would look at Phil Jones Bass with multiple small speakers.

i ran a very very hot active dingwall ng2 into it with pretty much only rounding to my tone. The take home message is that it is not a good choice for tube amp grit… just warm round tube tone. The positive is that it has a lot of clean usable volume for a small tube amp

Have you tried including maxing out the eq section?
I’ve seen demo videos with the eq section (bass, mid, treble) set to max along with an appropriate gain setting and it seemed to give some decent grit to my ears.

i forget now. i dont use it. to be honest… i now prefer my tube grit to be from digital effects. the modern stuff (darkglass) is so good. so now i run big clean tube watts and pedals

The consensus among our fellow TBers re: PF-20T vs PF-50T is that the former is closer to B-15 and the latter is closer to V4B, as far as I understand. Also you can check:

As I have quite a few other high-power amps, power coming from either of these amps was not a criteria for me anyway, so just last week I bought the PF-20T and the fliptop PF115HE speaker, the combination of which sounds amazing! Highly recommended.

The hum is there though, so I wonder if anyone has had the humbuster mod for the 20T.

“Humbuster mod” ???
Do tell please

Schematics are in the archive here. You’re on your own from there.
