Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I was thinking that it would probably weigh a ton. And do you mean 4 feet by twelve feet? That's humongous! Did he make amps like that for other people or did you get a one off? It sounds super awesome. I would love to hear it when you dig it out!

No - 4 x 12 means 4 speakers that are 12" in size. Like 4 x 8, or 2 x 6, or 2 x 8, etc...

As near as I know, I was his only amp project. We kinda dreamed it up while drinking and smoking, and eventually decided to move forward with the project. I barely paid for his labor - meaning he spent many hours on it and I only paid like $500 for the amp and cabinet.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. You got one hell of a deal!

I used it for years. It has thousands of hours on it, surely. The cab will have fewer hours, as there was no point in using it in the house for practice. I'd sometimes gig with just the head combo. That was plenty loud for even moderately sized venues - but you're also expected to look the part. Showing up at a gig with just a tiny combo amp can look bad, but once folks heard it they understood. It's seriously loud and actually sounds good when it's cranked up.
