So sorry to be a big poo, but as you all know (or should know), unless it can be proven this SVT-on-steroids shown in thr picture is an actual “combo” amp, it’ll have to be arrested, charged, booked, and ultimately found guilty of impersonation.

Prison sentence? It goes to GP’s house to sit next to the Kasino.

That is all.

I suspect there's a little speaker built in in the amp, so you can communicate with the floor level, in that case it's virtually a combo... until this scenario is proven the " presumably combo" is innocent.

I posted it to remind everyone why we love our combos. I wouldn't have that monster for 2 reasons: (A) I'm not a fan of 'peg sound, and(2) There ain't a place I ever have-or will-play that would require it.(The gig at the meteor crater was cancelled)

Oh I know you’re not an a Ampeg fan, but I always look for a way to poke fun at the ongoing combo vs. separates debate. Now that I look at it though, a B-15 really can’t be looked as a combo (my former thoughts) any more than the SVT-zilla you posted a bit ago. It’s not an all-in-one, plain and simple. I do think it’d be fun to play through that three-story monster though!

Probably be best to be behind it. I'm not sure even the best noise cancelling cans would do any good.
 
It occurs to me that this is the equivalent of 9 4x10's. Extreme overkill. 8 4x10's should be sufficient.:smug:

Or how about 18 210s? I’ve got a rule that I never leave the castle with fewer than twenty, so that’s still short of the mark, but who’s quibbling? I can hear someone now uttering to themselves, “Heck, give me a single fifteen, maybe two, and that’s all I need for any show.”

My B2 doesn't like the sound of that... It already has an inferiority complex, ((1)It's a combo, and now this happens, (2) it isn't loud enough to play with the big guys (3) For the purists, is the only reason to call it an Ampeg the stamp on its butt.) And after one day in this club, that it has seen as its new save haven, this happens.
I bet you're proud now, for hurting it's feelings. I think you've done a great job.:laugh:
