In New York they ran out of real estate, so they started building tall buildings to cram more people/businesses in. Recently, I had to add more storage space to my studio, and didn't have much floor space I wanted to give up. The solution was to replace my existing storage cabinets with taller cabinets.
My solution will be to put it on my rack's top shelf and use my head/cabinet switcher to get double duty from my HXDA cab. Voila!
Yes, I completely agree. The cabs are hugely important, and when I talk about amps, I should specify that for me the two things compose a single system. I have that amp and cab switcher to experiment with different tones. It makes a difference in how I use amps (and it's so simple and fast!).
The thing about amps is that they're all about generating harmonic frequencies when they start to break up. Every amp does that a little differently. They have different transformers, power levels, tubes and tone stacks. So they do sound fundamentally different from one another.
My theory is that everything affects the tone, guitar, cab, amp, plus whatever else is in the chain, right down to the cables. Then there's the mic, the mic cable, the mic preamp...
Great gadget, but...not really an amp!
Bahahaha! (If I lived in an apartment, I'd of course need one, too).
