After 4 months of inactivity I fired up the LB yesterday. I'd been using my POD HD through the near fields for four months.
Mind you I have two 212s. I had the WTF was I thinking when I got this, let alone when I got the JVM that I swapped for it? What do I need 100+ watts for aside from clean headroom? **** this thing is loud, and I only had the MV cracked at 9:00. Any lower and the speakers sound like s***. My ears were ringing in addition to how they already ring.
Maybe I need to sell the cabs and get a ported 112 with a Fane? Heck I could probably get by with a single G12H30 55Hz. It would be less loud. Yes I know it's only a 30W cab, but I don't need it to get that loud. If I use 30W out of this amp I won't be able to stay in the same room. This is why I don't go to concerts anymore: too loud. I want to see Robin Trower, but ****, from what I've heard he's extremely loud.
Here's my conclusion on guitar tone:
Low volume levels: modeler always wins.
High volume levels: tube amp always wins.
I can't handle the volume levels anymore. Just a sec, I gotta yell out the window: "Get off my lawn!"
My computer is in the shop and I've been tweaking the presets on the HD for a couple different projects. I wish I knew someone who played guitar well so they could play while I did the adjusting -- I ended up cutting the gain by 50% after recording and playing back. I find when I'm playing I concentrate more on the playing than the tone. So the computer is why I'm using the amp at the moment.
Sucks getting old.
