Because I can't make a descision on my own....amp question

Patrick (reverb_10000) - 14 Oct 2004 11:58:31

Like the title implies - I need help figuring this stuff out. You
guys have been a great sounding board up to now, so here's another
one for ya:
I'm running my guitar into a Peavey Valverb into Reverend Hellhound
head into a 212 cabinet. The tone is good. It's not outstnding, it's
not lame, but it's good. BUT, if I were to unload this stuff I could
spend a bit more and get a Fender Custom Twin 15.
Pros:
-It's a Fender. I'd be getting the sound from the source rather than
emulating the sound with my present equipment (stress the point, the
stuff I have isn't bad-sounding at all).
-Better resale (not that I intend on reselling it, but it is a factor
when getting new equipment).
-Kick@$$ bass response from the 15" speaker.
-More power by about 85 watts.
-One thing to lug around rather than 3.
Cons:
-"All eggs in one basket." If something goes wrong with the reverb,
tremolo, speaker, etc, I have no amp.
-Is the Fender a one-trick pony?
-The possibility of too much power - I will have to play this thing
at home, too, without my wife and kids throwing crap at me.
-The Reverend is P2P wired. Is the Fender?
-Couldn't I just as easily get a 115 cab?
As always, thanks for indulging me, guys...
