Re: good deal? XXL
DO IT! i bought the 1/2 stack seperately but i have the XXL head($520US) and the XXL angled cab($400US). the thing sounds great, incredibly versitile. the clean channel is great. and the Lead and Ultra channel has some of the best distortion, at least for metal/hard rock. i have it set as the Ultra channel for all my metal needs (metallica, pantera, slayer, iced earth, megadeth...etc.) and then the lead channel i have set for older metal and classic rock(maiden, Sabbath, AC/DC). each channel has 3 different settings, plus 3 different speaker settings, and then 3 different wattage settings. thats 27 possibilities plus how ever you wanna tweak the EQ i mean that's endless possabilities. but the XXL is deff. worth it.

Re: good deal? XXL
hilarious thing... the guitarist in my band picked on of these up with a cabinet for 250... some schmoe sold it to him for cheap. Me and the bassist of the band couldn't figure out what kind of cabinet he got from his description. It was a Sunn 6x10 bass cab from the 60's! I was like, "ZUH?!"
My point? Well... uh... oh, go for it! Although I don't think these things sound as nice as they could, they're not a bad deal.
