Totally wrong! I have a Modern Classic I with the 1st model transformer, the "A" model and I wouldn't give it up for the world. It's far from obsolete, .........it's perfection!

Actually, Rick has 5 different model output transformers at this point. It's a question of taste as to which is best for any person's palettethegame":cs8mrn36 said:johnnyjellybean":cs8mrn36 said:

. The "V" had a nice rounded slope up in the 800hz range. It makes for a nice wide mid where as the "A" is quite similar in the top but has a more focused mid hump that is just a little higher. There is also the "B" which is the brightest and the "C" which is in between the "A" and the "B". There is also an "O" which I haven't heard. As far as extra doodads, I think he gave more more gain than the standard Classic II along with a top-cut on the lead channel which smooths the top nicely and is handy at lower levels I also havew foot switching capabilities for channels and boosts on both channels. The amp absolutely kicks ass. Extremely wide array of sounds.

Sounds like a nice versatile amp!!

The Wizard has changed his robe! 
This new amp freakin rocks! I also swapped out my G12M-20 heritage greenbacks from a Marshall 4x12 to my new Wiz 4x12 and the difference was fllat out astounding. Huge difference in the bottom end and low mids. I swear the Marshall cabs blow chunks when you compare them to a quality built cab

You definitely need one more! ........at least! I'll be replacing all my Marshall cabs with Wizard cabs eventuallywheelman":q8ps7tob said:
The two Wiz's look amazing mate! well done. Interesting that you say theres a huge difference in the sound of the greenbacks when they're placed in a Wizard cab... might have to try that for myself i think.
Quick question on Wizard cabs, while we're on the topic - I understand that one of the jacks on the back is a parallel input, IE you can use it as an "input" for another cab.
Question is, assuming i have: head > 16 ohm cab > 16 ohm cab, though the parallel input, would i set the head to 8ohms? I want to run my MC2 into a Wizard cab with Rock 20s and an old Marshall cab with greenbacks, both cabs 16 ohms, and from what i can gather the input on this cab makes it all possible without harming the amp?
Yay/nay?

Yes, set the amp to 8 ohms.
You can also connect them the conventional way, by again, setting the amp to 8 ohms then hook up one speaker cord going from each speaker output on the amp into each cab.
If you have four 16 ohm cabs, you can combine both methods and use 4 cabs at once ! Though you must set the amp at 4 ohms assuming all are 16 ohm cabs. In fact they must be all 16 ohm cabs to do this.
