Thanks Crusty, My only concern with the cab you suggest is that it only runs in stereo. Being a FOH techy myself, this is not a feature I am very fond of. Having to mic up both sides of the cabinet to try to capture all the nuances. I would rather it had the ability to run mono as well. I will take a look at this cab all the same at a local guitar store assuming they have one to demo. Thanks for the trouble shooting instructions. As it turns out the tuner function seems to be working OK. He told me last night that the tuning doesn't match the tuning of the guys he plays with because they have a chromatic tuners.......what the! I have no idea......to me a tuner is a tuner! Your either in tune or your not.......I understand the drop tuning and all that but now he wants a chromatic tuner......granted the guys he jams with are much older than him and have all the high end gear and I don't want him to be embarrased but jees man Why is a chromatic tuner so much better? hehehehe! Thanks Again!

Hey Vikingfirebeard, Thanks for chiming in. I thought about taking him down and letting him pick one out but the last time I did that he picked a Jupiter over a Conn. Not that the Jupiter hasn't done it's job but the Conn is generally known as being superior. Oh yeah, he plays the alto sax too. I'm a bit nervous he will pick out junk and then i'll have to pay for it all over again in about a year. It's hard to get him to focus when we go gear shopping.........he just wants to stand and stare at the Les Paul Silver Burst Custom hanging on the wall. Ha! It's good to know that you like the mesa boogie with that head. I gravitate to Mesa gear.....but in general I don't normally see guitar players mixing gear......I wasn't sure if that was like the cardinal sin among guitar players or not. Thanks Again!
