Marshall AVT 50h -->Jet City 2x12? Help!

[matzkeb]

Was not sure if I should of just kept posting in the thread I started or start a new one for this question....Anyways, here it goes haha

I have been playing the Jet City 22h and matching 2x12 cab for a few months now and I love it! Great tube tone and bite. My problem is my buddy let me borrow his Marshall avt50 head and I am totally in heaven with the tone I get out of it through my jet city 2x12 cabinet.

Is it stupid to think the tone is better then the jca22h which is an all tube head? These AVT heads are really cheap but sound so good. Even with a Marshall MG 4X12 Im still debating on switching my live rig....

thoughts on the 2 head and cabinets would be a great help folks! Hopefully Im matching the ohm rights...

I play metal/hardcore/punk lots of chugging

telecaster with duncan sh-6

In the end always stick with what sounds better to your ears.

I know you said its your live rig, but what volume are you playing at? What is the preamp gain and master volume set to on the jet city head and what are the volumes/gains set to on the AVT50H?

Can you also post a link to the Jet city cab you are using? they offer a few 2x12's and I want to give you the most accurate information.

Alright if you set that jet city cab to mono (switch set to the right), use the left input on the cab that says 8ohms under it and you are fine using it that way with the AVT head.


I am not sure if you safely plug your JCA22H into that Jet City cabinet cabinet though. The Jet city head, it wants to see either 1 16ohm cabinet or 2 8ohm cabinets. I think the only way to safely plug that into a cab with your setup would be to set the jet city cabinet to stereo, and only use 1/2 the cab ( 1 input on the cab) since it will be 16ohms then, or to use both the Jet city AND marshall cabinet since they are both 8ohms.

If I am wrong someone please correct me
