But you are still moving ALOT of air!

I'm actually looking for a used 2x12 cab. Something will come up at the local guitar store.

I have a Traynor YCV50 (blue) combo. It has a single Vintage 30. It has a speaker cable that you can unplug from the amp ... perhaps I can plug it into the H&K. I'm going to read up on it first though. The H&K handles 8 or 16 ohms.

I used the HK into my homemade 2x12 with V30's. It sounded good at any volume actually, as long as I wasn't looking for clean tones. This thing is a gain monster.

I also did use the DI and power soak feature quite a bit, and went direct to my mixer, either into headphones or monitors when practicing late at night.

Overall, I really do like this little amp. It's still at the consignment shop though.

Between my modded JetCity Pico 5w, and now the little Vox, the H&K was redundant.
