Eddy is some kind of greyhound? I love greyhounds. Well, I love all dogs, but a few breeds are particular favourites.

Added the PF50T a few months back but wanted to hear how it sounded with a single 15 (came with a 210HE). I found a demo model on sale at Sweetwater and it finally came in a couple days ago. I'm pretty happy (looks mint). To be honest, I don't hear a huge difference between the two cabinets on their own, but I really like how they sound together, so no worries there.

Sweeeeeet!

I love more cabs or or cabs with multiple speakers. Just something about sound happening from more than one source.

That's what the hand trucks are for. Or casters. I am thinking of putting a ramp off the back porch to the walk (one step) for hauling loads of books when I go to events where I can sell them. That would come in handy with a big cab, too.

That's the nice thing about these. The PF 50T is plenty loud for most adult situations with correct cabs. Tube goodness and not 85 lbs.

And the newer V4Bs at about 41 lbs or so if you need 100 watts. I have one, and these suckers are loud. As loud as I would have even needed when playing rock in decent sized rooms years ago. And they sound glorious driving the power tubes.

VP>PF50T >2 x 210AVs is very nice, especially when cranked. Somehow the PF50T opens up a bit more at 4ohms.

Well here's what I got on the Halloween weekend.

Eighties Fender Montreux, got it by trading in my Blackstar fly amp and a couple of speakers I still had lying around. The guy I got it from said that he never got it to sound right and put in so much work with so little result that he basically gave up on it.

He told me "Take it away, I never want to see it again and don't ever bring it back!"

I don't know what kind of sound he wanted to get from it but it doesn't sound bad at all, I still have to try it with my pedals but so far, there's nothing wrong.

My 'practice amp'* has wheels at the lower rear corners so one can lean it back like as if it was on a hand truck(+). Then I'd hafta grunt it into the gigmobile(-). The - outweighs the +.

*practice amp-'cos it's too heavy to move.View attachment 4456663

I bet it does. I've thought about getting a 50T or maybe better the 20T so I could use it more wide open to get that nice compression when driven. I believe the 50T has the same pre as the V4B. I've heard those 2x10AVs are really great. I almost bough a couple a few years ago, but went with the Heritage 410 for my old V4BH and an VERY happy. But that sucker is heavy.

I'm not always in love with Ampeg cabs, but these 2x12s are great as well. I have this head and cab and when cranked it's absolutely fantastic. I'm just not playing any place now where I can do that.

Eddy is a whippet. They are a smaller version of the greyhound.

I was going to guess whippet, but wasn't sure on size (nothing to easily scale to in the picture). The racing dogs are quite friendly and like to cuddle. And they don't need tons of exercise like a working dog. They just need to burn off energy once or twice a day.

The cab in question was 85 pounds, iirc.
