Re: GM40 for live Pub gigs?
Two weekends ago it was plenty loud in a small club with a hard hitting drummer behind me. Keep in mind that a 100W amp isn't 2.5 times louder than a 40W amp, it's probably only about 1.25 times louder...

Thanks,i only have a 30 watt Amp,but it has 2 x 6L6's,but from my AC30 days,i remember 4 x EL84's delivered 30 watts,& the 30 watt Amp i have now handles gigs a lot easier than the AC30.
So i was just curious & thanks for replying.

Hi!
I use the GM 40 for smaller gigs with a George Dennis 1x12 (Carvin GT12 100W loudspeaker), and with the power soak I trim in the watts I need.
For more large venue (or outside), I use a H&K 2x12.
In both case the volume is really loud!
And if its not enough, remember to use the RED BOX directly in the P.A.!

Thanks,giosef.Yes i always mic up,it's just on stage volume i'm interested in,sounds like it shouldn't be a problem.

Been using the GM40 for a few fly gigs lately - small to mid size clubs. I use it for stage sound and I use the redbox for the PA - works well - not as round and full of a sound as my Orange Rockerverb, but it also doesn't weigh 55lbs!!

I use a Rocker 30C,i was afraid the base sound of the GM40 might suffer a bit in comparison,but,i'd like to get one of these to work for me,i'd like to have all the features before i whither away with old age,even if i won't have a clue how to use them .
