Heres a really dumb question considering how long Ive been playin and how much equipment Ive gone through but still I want to know. Is there a real difference between the sound and properties of a stack vs a combo.
Heres my thing: Ive fallen in love with Mesas. I dont know why I never noticed them after all these years using Fenders, Voxs, Marshalls and Peaveys but Ive lately been crankin every model I can find at stores and Ive decided the heartbreakers are definitly me. With the Mesas I dont think cutting through a mix or being overpowered is a problem. Hell, Ive seen someone use a Mark something 1x10 combo against another bass and guitar stack and cut through. The thing is Im not sure whether to go with the 2x12 combo or the head. The only difference is the added speakers and if in the future I want a wall of sound setup I should be able to just add another cab.
I guess my question is, does what Im saying make sense? Is there any difference besides the obviouse difference of different cabs but besides that. Confusing. I know if I use different cabs the sound will change. But lets say Im using a 2x12 extention cab with the same speakers through the combo. Does it make any difference in how the amp performs or sounds as if I just had a head and a 4x12 cab? Is it less or more flexable?
Ive heard alota people say that with some of the combo amps out there, the stacks are just a pride thing like having a big dick. Its just a "Im a guitarist and heres my big stack" kinda thing.
Any thoughts or technical responces?
