Don’t they do that to bulls?
On my maps, it's a dashed line.
Here ya go:I tried one that I’m getting a while ago in a music shop.
I was floored by its heft and it’s ability to slam.
Just couldn’t afford it.
It weighs a lot by today’s modern standards.
But not like an SVT.
It’s on the way.
And the seller showed me how it’s packed.
Should be ok.
May need the right sealed 810 to pair up with it

I really want to try an Ashdown but I need to sell some stuff first. I have several heads now that don't get enough use. I like this one a lot and has a lot of tube goodness and grit. The pic isn't my rack but the only difference in this setup and mine is my power conditioner. I need to experiment with it to see if its really a keeper.
Oh. OK, got it.
....hey, don't blame me, I know the explanation's good cause Donnie got it....
Reacted with a sad face. But I’m happy you found something else you wanted!Well, I’ve been holding off on this,
But I’m sad to say that the ABM 600 I got had to be returned.
Long explanation and I won’t get into it.
But I got a full refund.
Next on the way is this
Fender TB1200.
Kind of a dream amp.
And the price was more then right.

There’s lots to chose from nowadays.
But when I came across it, for the price I got it at……
Well, was a no brainer.
Oh. I guess that’s the answer.I tried one that I’m getting a while ago in a music shop.

Not sure yet.
And certainly not a critical matter at this time.
No need to pay money to hear that dream rig if he got it. You could hear at you house from New York or Germany. 1200 watts. Man.Personally, I’d go down the Berg route first - NV610 is a monster, as is the 412 or 215.
Or for a real back breaking orgasmic inducing dream stack - two Berg HT322’s stacked with the top one inverted. I’d pay money to hear that rig! Of course I’d probably have to pay more money afterwards to regain my hearing. Those super efficient 322’s have off the chart SPL specs (sensitivity rating of about 103db with something over 130 max db IIRC).
So Jeff got me curious about his incoming amp. I understand that the Fender power section uses BJT transistors. I was curious to know the the difference between those and the MOSFETS used in the Mesa Carbine.
According to AI:
The main difference between BJTs and MOSFETs is their fundamental method of control and internal structure, which leads to distinct performance characteristics and applications. A BJT is a current-controlled device that uses both positive and negative charge carriers, while a MOSFET is a voltage-controlled device that relies on only one type of charge carrier.
There is a chart in the response that sets out all the characteristics, but I couldn’t get it to paste directly here. Suffice it to say, it sounds like they are two very different technologies.

Your map is made of water? Sounds fishy.On my maps, it's a dashed line.
they'll never get that...Those are actually great cabs.
But not for that price.
They are. AFAIK, BJTs are more commonly used in lower powered amps. MOSFETs are used in higher powered amps. They pretty much rule the Class D world.
Interesting this power section is BJTs.
