    They put a lot of engineering into that because usually putting a resistance load between the output stage and the speaker affects the tone. A trick I do is use a speaker coil and magnet without a cone on it and a pot to control how much output signal gets sent to it. It works like a resistor but the amp still gets the feedback of the speaker working. Since there is no cone to push air it makes no noise but fools the amp into thinking there is a speaker it's pushing. Works pretty good. It allows you do push the power amp hard but not rattle the dry wall loose in the house.

    Post up some pics of the amp and the Stealth. What do you think of the guitar? I really want one but 3k for a US model is a little steep for me. I'm curious about the Mexican ones. Does it have a maple top or is it one piece of wood carved out with a curved top?

    I havent seen the maple ones yet...no one has them...It is curious that the new Special Stealth has a contoured face...maybe not as pronounced as American version...but much nicer than the flattop.

    Its hard to say what it is whether one piece or not...with the binding there...I will take some pics.

    I almost think it might be solid maple top on the basswood, in which case I might regret not waiting for the new Maple ones to come out. Either way, I can't believe how responsive the guitar is to my feeble hands. So easy to play.

    The Ebony fingerboard looks so cool and plays even better. I am playing it right now through a micro terror and its little 8 inch cab with a cheap boss distortion pedal and it sounds ridiculous. The boss is so I can play with distortion quietly...teh Micro terror has no problem with gain on higher volumes...it is loud, but cant wait for the EVH 5150

    Does the 1 x 12 have the power attenuator?

    Oh it sure does! Its exactly the same as the 2x12...about 18 pounds or so lighter.

    This amp is a gain-fest!!

    If you are gigging with that amp you will thank yourself for buying the small one when you haul it around. LOL! I used to have this huge bass rig and one day I said this is like moving furniture. Let's be honest. You can play a small venue just fine with a 30 watt guitar amplifier. Let the PA do the work.

    Been travelling so no time for pics but they are coming...I am loving the amp...so responsive with the Wolf Stealth - screams at will.

    I haven't really had a chanced to really open it up yet...cant wait to move it downstairs this weekend to see it really perform at some serious volumes.

    Made an inquiry today at Musician's friend...seems there is a 15% off deal going on...so I ended up getting the combo for a little over a grand...not too shabby

    Damn...I see here they have a used (maybe just a return?) 2x12 combo for $1,199...I wonder if you could get 15% off that? That would be $1,019...

    No...they just gave the price I should have got from the website with the current 15% off promotion...just the 1X12 - they credited my card...awfully nice of them

    I was just throwing it out there that if you could get the 15% off for the "used" 2x12 that seamed like a steal for someone else
