Splendid.
Karl.

Oh, absolutely.

The Players

–Lumsden Custom Altoids Amp through a RAWoods pine 1×12 with Weber 12A150b.

–Cigar Box Amp with Isolated Power that I impulse bought on ebay for 10 bucks.

The Base Tone

My Prairiewood

Possible Tonal Biases

The Lumsden Altoids Amp was being played through a much better speaker.

Possible Personal Biases

I wasn’t really listening…this was just fun.

The Showdown:

Conclusions

Lumsden Altoids all the way. This guy is actually a genius, and a good friend. (I try to make friends with all geniuses I come in contact with. Good life rule.) You can check out his blog here: A Passionate Apathy. The cigar box was cool; but mostly because it brought back fond memories of hacking out Ghoti Hook songs on my Crate GFX-15. Rock.

But in all seriousness, it is dead surprising how loud and how decent that little altoids box sounds. And it powers the 1×12 no problem. Oh, and by far the most fun I’ve had doing a shootout…maybe ever.

Splendid.
Karl.
