Question: What does the speaker size and/or number of speakers matter? If you have one head of a certain, unspecified wattage, what would be the difference in the sound if I put the head on a 112, 212, or 410 cabinet (seperately, not all three together).
My case is that I want to buy a Fender Hot Rod. You know, months, possibly years down the road when I have the money. I think I want something with more power than the Junior models, so I'm just looking at the Deluxe and the DeVille. Now I know that these amps have different wattages (Deluxe 40W, DeVille 60W), but I'm not as concerned with that right now, I'm just curious about the speakers. The Deluxe has one 12" speaker, but the Deville comes in a 212 and a 410 variety. So assuming hypothetically that the DeVille has a bias switch that can set it back to 40W with the Deluxe, how will they sound different?
Then, as a synthesis question, say I got a Deluxe 112 and put it on top of a 410 cabinet, just 'cus it looked cool that way. What would that sound like?
I realize I really need to go to Guitar Center and try them out myself, but I'd feel bad about going in there and trying out there stuff hardcore (I almost always play with a fuzz pedal on, so I'd have to bring that with to get an accurate feel for the sound), and then leaving without buying anything - I'll wait until I have the money and I can buy what I play with.
