Hi guys,
I am officially a tweaker
I saw this amp (Egnater Tweaker 15 head) used but in mint condition and for a great price, so I went and snatched it up the next day. I tried it at home, through an ENGL Gigmaster 310 cabinet (1x10) and it sounds great. I loved the wide range of tones that you can get, and I only had one hour to play with it. I can't wait to get to know it better, specially for band practice.
I play in a studio with a drummer, bass, another guitar, vocals and a keyboard player will most likely join. So I was thinking of plugging it into the 12" combo that I currently use there (only for a few sessions), but for the long run get a cabinet especially for me. I was looking on the classifieds and also new (I rather buy used) and I've been able to find 4x12 cabinets for about 200 bucks, like Bugera, Line 6 and some non-brand ones. But after looking at new cabinets, I saw a Marshall Code 412 for about 200 bucks NEW! It says that it's made to handle the wide variety of tones that the Code head delivers, which is good as the tweaker also has a wide range of sounds.
What do you think? Anybody with experience with this Code 4x12? Anybody else running a small head through a big cabinet? There is also a PA at the studio, and the amp that I use is actually mic'ed the whole time. So I don't really need a huge cabinet, but for the price, I haven't found anything else that comes close. Also, (and I hope this doesn't start a war) what would be the advantage of running a 4x12 vs a 2x12 or 4x8? (to name a few) I understand that more speakers mean more power, right? So at the exact same amps settings a 4x12 will give me much more volume than my 1x10, correct?
Cheers and thanks!
Walter
