How so?..or why?
And dually & 100 watters for louder than usual clean, or for crazy overdrive?

what do you mean by how so, why?
I've been using it for more grindy overdrive part of my setup. But I need to mess around more with things, I want to see how the ampeg side of my Dunwich sounds through the Dually. I haven't done that yet, other than when we recorded which was ampeg side of the dunwich with the carvin 3800 SS amp into the dually, then split from my pedalboard with the dunwich DI to the mixer.

As in, why do you like low watt tubes better than solid stated high wattage? Is it a tone issue, or.....
So you crank the hell out of the 100 watts and get a loud ass gnarly overdrive thru the dually...
Im asking cos I have a v4b on the way.

Just something about the low watt tube amp through the dually pairs really nice. The SS sounds good but the tube amp sounds better with the dually.
Opposite goes for the 66, that thing kills with the SS amp, but it's Ok with the tube amp.
But yeah, crank the 100 watt tube amp through the dually, and it's all gnarly and dirty. Pretty cool.

Andddd reported! See you later alligator!
Kidding, lol that guys funny... I'd hate to run into him in person like at guitar center and make the mistake of talking gear lol.
I'll back up Ron on the fact that the Dually really helps lower wattage amps shine. I already used my Traynor YBA-1 with my Ampeg 810 for gigging before, but I've got more available headroom and overall volume using it with the Dually (either one). The Dually is also the only cab I've owned that makes my Sunn Beta Bass usable at gigging volumes. I've kept it because it works for guitar at just the right volume (preferably as part of a dual rig), but it's loud enough through the Dually to be heard over loud guitars and drums. Though I do typically use it as part of a dual rig as well, but that's just a common practice for me in general. That's what "efficient" really means in the context of that cab, for me. I'm able to use amps that sound good, but were never loud enough or they didn't sound good when they did get loud enough before, so now I'm able to not push them so hard and get the same volume level.
With my Dually I can get my Traynor Monoblock II to the same output volume that I gig my 1000 watt Orange at. Pretty impressive.
MAAAAAAN... now Im gonna have to find a dually to try out.. and since Im one of the few guys on the thread that ACTUALLY runs into Mike in person alot, Im gonna be the one gettin hassled at a show for it.

I KNOW IT WAS YOU JASON! YOU BROKE MY HEART!
*gives you the fredo kiss*
Oh man, what a relief.
Last week I thought I kept hearing someone whisper "Hey can you hear me?" at work. It was really quiet, and would happen early in the morning when the office was mostly empty. I have pretty significant tinnitus and hearing loss so sometimes in the ringing I hear things that could sound like voices, I know they're not so I ignore it, but this one kept happening and while it was very quiet, it was pretty distinct. It had me checking my web browser to see if a video popped up, checking to see if my phone was on the hook all the way, etc.
Well I just found out that it's a retaliation prank being played on one of my office mates - he played a prank on a guy on April Fools Day, so that guy put a little device in the original pranker's cubicle that randomly plays the "Hey can you hear me?" recording. Dude is ignoring it while he comes up with a way to spin it back around on the other guy. Pretty funny, I'm just glad that I was actually hearing things instead of "hearing things".

That is priceless. From practical joke to shock treatment in one month. Imagine sitting there thinking I took too much damn acid back in the day. That story made my day!
My girlfriend is working from home now grooming dogs, I so want to get that can you hear me device, and watch a ton of ghost movies with her every night but only turn it on during the day.
You have to record messages that could be from dogs... "hey too rough..." Really mess with her.
Yes, an opportunity to apply Rick and Morty to the current convo! You could record things like this haha:
Just got done watching Charles Bradley: Soul of America. Man, that dudes deserves all the success in the world.
You got me looking in to him. I noticed yesterday that he played with some of the guys in the Budos Band, love me some Budos Band. They always make me feel like I'm listening to the background music to old Jonny Quest cartoons.
