Yeah I'd agree to trade it or sell it and go for a Mesa.
Oversized/Recto slant is very close in regards to internal volume compared to a traditional-size straight cab, so don't resist the very easy to find recto-slant, even if it's much newer than the 2000's era it will still have the 8ohm UK...
81/85 at standard 9v
edit; As Rex mentioned, buy the old logo emgs if possible, and if buying the modern logo shoot for before 2015 and you will be getting good versions.
I bet they would mix very well with the CL-80. I'd put both reds on top if mixed in a 412.
CL-80 have the loudest perceived volume to my ears of any Celestion model.
So what about the series2 single/rectoverb? It allows for EL34s to run while using diode/bold. (?)
Personally the only pair I've used in mine are the mesa str-447 yellows.
Yeah I wished they were switchable too. Parallel is great if you are running something like a single chorus, but trying to get a wet/dry balance across multiple pedals can be impossible, and then obviously it's a problem with time-based stuff like delays.
I still do this one now and then. This, MOP, and AJFA are my favorites from them.
IMO Show No Mercy destroys anything in the early 80s in the realm of metal.
Early Def Leppard does it for me as far as the Marshall rock tone goes.
I'd say it's just a slightly improved ac/dc tone really. The difference is probably just the pickups they used.
No only the pairs need to be of the same color and installed in the proper slots as pairs.
You can even use different varieties of 6L6 and different colors in the same amp.
For example;
green 445, blue 440, blue 445--------------blue 445,blue 440, green 445
The green 445 are your outer slots...
All you need is three matched pairs that all fall within that medium range. No need for matched sets.
They must be installed in pairs going from inner to outer or vise-versa.
No it does if you do it correctly. It works perfectly to full strength. I do it all the time with Boss 12v pedals.
If you are using separate wall-warts and/or using a pro-level source with isolated grounds;
Say you have one or two, or a few old-style 12v Boss pedals. Just run a small...
12v ACA-style pedals will run perfectly off of a PSA adapter, or any 9v as long as they are daisy-chained with at least one regular 9v pedal in the chain also.
