Sovtek Migs

Anybody know have any ideas on a good place to score a combo? What I'm gonna be looking for is something in a 40-60 watt, 1X12.
 
Re: Sovtek Migs

There was only one Sovtek combo I know of...the Mig 50H combo...it's the same head as the Mig 50H in a 1x12 combo and the best place to get one is gonna be on Ebay...
 
Re: Sovtek Migs

I keep watching, and nobody has anything but the heads.

I suppose a head & a 2X12 wouldn't kill me.... :)
 
Re: Sovtek Migs

I've not ever seen the combo, only the heads. Take it from a guy who owns both...go with the head and the cab. Far superior rock tone, IMO.
 
Re: Sovtek Migs

Hmm.... if I go for the head/cab deal, do I wanna go for a 100 watter? Price difference is very minimal.
 
Re: Sovtek Migs

Go for the Mig 50H Tube Midget...it's a very small package. In fact it's so short that you can set up up on the short of a Fender style 2x12 cab and not hang over the edges. I think it's far better that the 100 watter since you can get it cooking a bit easier.

You're speaking of this dude, right?

Re: Sovtek Migs

I agree with the 50 watter. My JCM800 50w will literally make your ears bleed on 10. The longer I play, the more I like lower wattge amps. 100 is just overkill.

Thats the one...there was a Mig 50 and a Mig 50H as well as a 100 and a 100H the "H" stands for high gain...the 50H is a bit hotter than the Mig 50 and the "H" versions also came with a master volume, for whatever reasons the 50H was also called the Tube Midget and was very short...little box, big punch!
 
Re: Sovtek Migs

Ok.... what would be the best 2X12 to accompany it? Something that would cover classic metal, thrash, stoner.... something versatile.

An Avatar w/ V30s?

The Avatar cabs are good but not great unless you get the Premier series which do cost more but are WELL worth it IMO...what kind of budget are you looking at for the head and cab?

I don't know exactly yet. Not much :) I've been using a practice amp with a 6.5" speaker for quite awhile (at home), so anything is probably gonna sound great.

I'm actually more into buying old banged up stuff. I saw several Mig 50's go for $300. Seems like I could get a halfway decent cab for that. I've actually got access to lots of tools, and a couple friends who are pretty handy with wood working, so making a cab wouldn't be out of the question.
 
Re: Sovtek Migs

If you can still find a Mig head for around $300 GET IT! Average going right now is much closer to $500. AS for a cab, the Avatar stuff is ok, just not great. The new Avatar Premier cabs are killer cabs and can be had for just a hair over $400 shipped with several different types of speakers in them.
