correction
well, i had a chat with gilby and we figure that you should keep the head you
have now. gilby said it is recieving kick ass reviews. so our answer to you is
to purchase a 15 cab or build one. i built one years ago so i could improve my
sound. what i did was buy a JVC 350 watt 15 bass speaker and grill. a sheet of
laminated oak plywood and custom build a cabinate to my specs and satisfaction.
you can see what i did buy checking out my page at www.zed.cbc.ca do a search
for theringtones (all one word) and then click on the members tab and the
ringtones again then ponyiomy you can see my stack and the cab i built. also,
nobody likes to work so look what i have to carry around. you also don't want
all your eggs in one basket so that is why i also run into an ampeg SVT tube DI
box before going into the amp. it helped getting a good smooth bass tone and if
the amp fails i hope the place we play has a PA system. since the DI box had mic
cable outs. one of the best buys i ever had.
i hope that helps with your decision,
ponyiomy

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...
