Thanks for the info. I was thinking of Mojo cabs for both head and amp. I can't go wrong with the WGS GB for the price ! Ill give them a shot.

Sounds like a good plan. Let me know what you think of the WGS, and post a demo if you can! I'd love to hear one with an 18 watter.

I got a Swanson cab a few years ago for my combo build and have been quite happy with it. Swanson http://www.swansoncabinets.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is one of the 18watt.com supporting companies you'll see up there at top right.

Don't be afraid of the WGS speakers. They are quality speakers priced right. I bought 4 of the 12" green berets and loaded them into a 4x12 Marshall type cab. The green beret is their take on a Celestion Greenback and sounds much like a Greenback. With your amp having a VVR, you should be able to get some real nice break up sounds at low volumes with these speakers.

One of the amps I use on my cabinet is a Superlite with a VVR that I built a while back. It sounds very good at low volume with this cabinet. If you want more breakup at low volume, add a ts-9 pedal set for boost.

+1 for Swanson

Quality kit, he know Marshall sound and will work with you to "tune" the cabinet.

Sorry, now I see the last post is 3 years old.

However, might be of use for someone!

Did you try those speakers? How were they?
