Trace Elliot GP12 SMX 1215 Combo

Put it up on a box first so you get a better earful.

Actually first order of business is drop the red 30Hz slider to the bottom and leave it there. The cab doesn't do 30Hz. 2nd is get some earplugs for playing with drums and guitars. Then the box.

I prefer Shape1 with all the mids boosted and the highs trimmed. A little low compression goes a long way.

The balance control can be flipped bassy for dubby reggae stuff and it still sounds similar with a fat as bottom.

You want to be on the lookout for a 1513, which is the matching 15'' cab, to replace the box. You may never need another amp. Someone posted that exact stack above.
