4x12 scratchy stack

[dave.king1]

I've put a 4x10 together from 20mm marine ply for my 100w H||H IC 100S head that I've had since new in 1976.

I used to run this amp through a Marshall quad box in my gigging days, would never go back to the double Lenard stack I had earlier despite the incredible tone it had, it was just far too big (great wank factor though)

The new box is wired for 8 ohms and is good for 700W RMS, my little 20W Fender Mustang sounds quite large through the box but obviously doesn't shake the foundations like the big head does.

BTW the H||H IC100S was the amp of choice for Marc Bolan amongst many others.

Didn't Marc Bolan use a Vampower Tube amp head and Quad Box at one point in his career?, I'm sure I've seen a pic of him using one somewhere, there's a pic of him on the front cover of the Electric Warrior album, and in the pic just behind him is the Vampower Tube amp head and Quad Box, he also used an H&H pre-amp with the Vampower amp.


You've gotta love T Rex, very 70's.

Could well be right most of the big guys seem to drift from one manufacturer to the next as their sonic desires change.

Over his career Rory Gallagher played through Fender, VOX & Marshall and a lot of guys today A/B or parallel amps so they can have a mix wet & dry sounds ( not to mention having a wall of cabinets in the back line with only one live and run through front of house )
