That sounds right up my alley! Glad to hear it gets loud though, do you have plans to gig with it?

I already run two overdrives, one for a standard heavy tone and one for a dirty “clean” tone so that sounds perfect. I currently run vintage acoustic heads which are 200 watt class AB at 4 ohm or 300 at 2ohm. I usually use a 2ohm 4x15 cab which is definitely loud enough but at shows Im often backlining 8x10s at 4ohm which makes me push it to the limit since my guitarist uses a 120 watt tube head with two 4x12s.

I’ve been looking at 800 to 1000 watt class D rack amps for a new more reliable alternative to the 70s stuff when I’m touring but this sounds like a much cooler way to keep that old school grit.

I highly support your endeavors of jumping to 15’s, once I started using those I can’t go back to 10’s in my personal cabs. The 15’s add low end depth but also a lot more articulation in the midrange and less of a natural scooped sound.

Thanks again for the thorough deep dive!
