It's seemed to have done pretty well. I was kind of surprised when they dropped the two heads from it.


I have to admit I know why they did, but not everyone wants, or needs 800watts. 200, And 500 watts has their place also. It all comes down to dollars, and cents.

Well, they still have the 500 combo. Maybe that was more of a seller than the head itself?

That's a very good point. The Combo just may be a better seller.

Well, I suppose they make some sense, because you have to get a cab with the head, anyhow, and you still can add another cab to that. I guess if you don't like the 2 x 10" speaker configuration, then it wouldn't be for you. I remember back in the day, it was usually a 15" speaker that came with the higher powered combos. They still have them, but I've noticed it's for lower powered options, not the usual 500 watt ones.

It's a real issue at times for which way works better, Combo, or the head cab. 500 Watts is a high level for 15" Combos.

I guess it's also up to one's personal preferences, and requirements. There's certainly pros and cons for each format.

Personal preference, and what you're used to using as well. The choices are really astounding. Combos are ok, but I remember when I used my first head / cab way back when. I thought that was so damn tuff. That was a big deal then, to have a split setup.

I think having a stack kind of gives you more options, as far as speakers go. You're not just limited to whatever is in a combo.

That's how I've always thought about it too Paul. And if there is an issue with one part of a stack, fix that part, not he whole combo.

I guess I'm too hung up on looking at things, the Roadie way of thinking. What If?!!! It's a hard thought concept to shake. :roll:

Well, that was your job, and you had to deal with what if, because it was very likely what if could happen, especially on the road. It wasn't like some casual player with an amp in their bedroom or garage.

There were times that we're more like the Twilight Zone, than the backstage zone.
