The JB is the classic combo with all maple. So is brass hardware. I would get a solid brass bridge and tailpiece. Also look for the long steel bushings like the OG Gibsons...
Some of my friends have had 15" CV's in their living rooms. Sounded like a concert. I think that CL ad have 10"'s ? Maybe they are fine
I have JBL L100-T that I got for free and redid the foam surrounds on the woofers.
As far as receivers, the modern ones have multiple HDMI inputs. We've had...
4x12's rule no doubt. I've had the same two for almost 40 years. I also used a DIY Bassman 1x12 combo a lot for band practice in a very loud band with success. The other guitarist had a full stack and a rack. SVT for bass and 24" double bass and power toms on drums. We would laugh at how well it...
I worked with a dude that got socked by Tyson. He was a bouncer at a club where Mike was having a scuffle with a chick and had to break it up. He said it hurt.
The replacement OT's for old Fenders should be a good choice. The 4.4K primary for 50W or 2.2K for 100W for Bassman and Showman. Are you going to mix 6L6GC and EL34's with the Simulclass?
This new to the market switcher / mixer by Red Seven has some cool features. A little pricey though.

I've had a GCX and Ground Control for 20 years. Good bang for the buck. The RJM and Switchblade are great products too.
I'm...
Rolling down the definition in the amp settings helps. I like using the wet/dry mix knob on the boost.
I play mine with real 4x12's and turn the Kemper cab IR off.

I have not tried these. I've only ever had GE's but they are 300 bucks each now and nearly extinct.
If the back is flopping around too much it can sound like shit. If you build your back in a way that resonance is controlled without the post. That would probably sound the best. Maybe a piece of aluminum angle across the inside of the back. You could use it for a flushmount jack plate too.
I wonder what you would get if you wired it into a piezo preamp?
I saw that Chris Poland was one of your artist. You should overpay him to bring his rack and four cabs and some heavy chords to film a youtube video. Loomis too.
Nice rack and guitars ZEN Amps. That's how I'm going to do mine. Was going to go with Hercules arms but I like the String Swings like yours.
Are they 16" apart?
