Must be a 4x12 tho. I'll find the space and the band. Just want.
No judgement. I've been sort of playing with the idea of putting up a wanted ad for a matching top or bottom cab for full
stackstupid.A band could be fun too, obviously, but at least now I don't have move any of this stuff around.

There's something really special about an 800 compared to the 900 imo. You can get more gain out of the 900 in the in built preamp, but the 800 forces you to boost the bejesus out of it using pedals, and there's something really tactile about playing it at that trouser-flapping volume, feeling the notes from your fingers change the physicality of the room you're playing in. It's a very three dimensional feeling. I think that's what people really talk about when they talk about 'power amp' distortion. It isn't the sound so much as the feel, imo, and the 800 pushes you to take it there.

Johan reckons you only need a 1x12!

I love my 900 SLX but it makes me play rawk, Fender amps make me wanna play more interesting things. It's obvs all in my head but that's my 2p anyway.

Even a little amp through a 4x12 sounds amazing, proper thunks and depth to the sound.
Having said that, I’ve got my eye on a Cornell Plexi 7 which is either 1x12 or 1x10.

Those amps are luverly too. I've been on the sniff for an affordable Marshall after 15 glorious mins in a studio with a cranked and freshly re-valved JCM800 and 4x12 last weekend. Dunno why now after decades of "meh" at the big Marshall thing... but i'm suddenly smit and I need one. I'm not sure exactly what i'm after but I think it's an 800, 900 or maybe a plexi RI (the 1987?). Must be a 4x12 tho. I'll find the space and the band. Just want.
