Finally was in the right place financially to press the button so I ordered my gm40d today and now wait delivery later this week.
I made the decision a while back and lucked across a second hand 112 cab in Andertons at a steal of a price.
I'll be putting the new amp directly up against my mesa Lss and some fairly high end boutique pedals. pretty stiff competition. Let the battle commence.
My plan is to take my celestion gold 12" out of the mesa lss and put it in the 112 cab. I'll put the original mesa black shadow in and sell her on. She's a great amp and all being well should sell quickly and fund the gm40d purchase fully. That is, IF the gm40 cuts the mustard.
I'm taken by the h&k switching possibilities and the possibility to integrate it with my es-8. The small size of the head for transport to rehearsals and gigs. Function wise and on the face of it this seems like my dream amp. I've also ordered a wmi-1 to get the iPad in on the fun.
I currently run a Princeton 68 as a stereo pair and fully intend to continue with that config.
Do you guys share presets anywhere?
Also, if I were to retube the amp fully. What should I be looking at and where would you recommend that I get them from? I'm in the U.K.
