My mistake, I am fairly sure that the handles for the combo and head are the same. It would be nice to find a replacement for the plastic ends since the amps will be around for years of use.

It looks like the C5 handle (for the head) is ~ 11" from screw to screw. Please let us know what you hear back from Marshall.

Surf,

It is about special interests that have infected both parties, so not one party over another. I am glad you liked their sound!

Hey guys, Stone Soul Foundation, a 70's influenced rock band from upstate NY, have a Kickstarter campaign to produce a video to go with their new song Taking Back the U.S., which discusses how corporate special interests are being served instead of We The People. They are great guys and great friend...

That's good to hear Cousin Muelly. I'll be interested in your opinion after you get time to listen more. For me, they not only "make" the C5 for me, but imagine how many other amps that take EL84s could sound as well. I am thinking of the Orange Tiny Terror and Vox Night Train.

Your new Firebird looks awesome! If needed, I am sure that you can get some hotter mini-humbuckers if you feel they are needed.

Wow I love the look of that cab!

Al, that last sound clip had the Dynacomp where the first did not, so it is a little more overdriven. I may even use the Vine pedal less since the Dynacomp improved my dry tone so much. And yes I am getting familiar with the Abletone Live DAW (my first) and now am recording a full channel instead of...

The EL844 tube details say that it produces 25% less power than the stock EL84. Due to my silent recording environment I never actually got to test the output difference. And yes the preamp tubes are stock. :bgrin I've heard several rockers say that their Class 5 was just gathering dust, including t...

I wanted to say a good word to the good folks at Eurotubes for not only conceiving the EL844 tube, but also for offering to send me a free replacement for my EL844 which died but left a pristine corpse after ~ 6 weeks of use. When I swapped back in the stock EL84 to see if the EL844 had indeed died,...

The V30 is probably going to be the most common go-to option. Since different cabs contribute to the sound, maybe you can demo a few.

I once saw a Farside cartoon where a guy is selling the book: Double your intelligence, guaranteed or no money back.......

I should have been clearer in the last reply but I was getting wife agro so rushed it :bgrin Those clips were before I recieved the dynacomp in the mail, so that's just the tone of the amp dimed using Duncan Alnico's, with the EL844 powertube being the only mod. I just plugged in the dynacomp before...

Yep just the power tube swap. And I added an MXR Dynacomp and WOW! It's what I was missing. I'll add more sound files tomorrow

Hey Blue, how do you like that 2x12 cab compared to your 4x12 in a recording environment?
