Yes,the volume is the same for any speakers configuration,with a 4x12 you will gain more headroom.
The difference is in the sound:it will be hard to overdrive 4 speakers with a lower wattage amp and it will play almost only clean.You may need a good fuzz/distorsion pedal in that way.

Anyway,I think valve amps play good when they're pushed at least.If you play in locals,clubs a 100 watts is too much for push it.
A 40/50 watts amp is good enough or an AC30 head with a 2x12 is a good solution,but they "must" be 2 Celestion Blue Alnico speakers for the joy of your Vox.(and yours)

Get a 100 watt head if you're using a 4x12 cab.

Pete,

AC 30 is fine for a band, b ut remember it will sound only like an AC 30....epi jr is built for recording, and it is going to overdrive, so forget about clean. Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but short of a Fender Showman head, if you are playing surf, any 100 watt + amp will fool the masses if it has a lot of clean headroom. Solid state bass amps are the way to go. They are cheap and plentiful on the used market, and usually have great eq features, THat and a new fender 63 reverb pedal thru your 412 cab, and you are in business. And remember to have fun when you play.

Remember, put two beers in the audience, and anything sounds good.

Hey,

this is probably a ridiculous question to some of you, but I've been looking at getting a new amp, and i've been wondering...

what sort of volume will I be able to get from an AC30 Head (30 Watt) or an Epiphone Valve Jr (5 Watt) when pushed through a 4x12 cabinet? can it hold its own a live situation with the rest of a band or will it still have to be put through a PA?

cheers

pete

This is an amazing find!!

Personally, i'd love to see another box set, like the one that was done in 1988 by Trafalgar/WEA called Under The Ashes. But this time with even more material and the live set from 12/77....yes i'm drooling! And yes, please another Radio Birdman arm patch!

Sweet!!

That's awesome. I think that "Radios Appear" is quite possibly my favorite record of all time.

Yep , cooooooooooooooooool !

Dunno if this has already been posted here but...

Radio Birdman Archives Discovered

Radio Birdman management has located dozens of boxes of 24 track tape
recorded by the band in the mid 70's. These tapes had long been thought
to have been destroyed. The tapes were found at AC/DC's famed Albert's
Studios in North Sydney. They had been kept in a climate controlled
archive, and are in pristine condition.

The band will be sorting through all of the many hours of this material in the next month, to prioritize material for a box set that
will include outtakes, unreleased songs, and alternate versions. In
addition to studio material, there is a complete multitrack recording
of a concert at Paddington Town Hall, from 12/12/77. With a production
session scheduled for April, fans can expect a release by years end.

Speaking of garage guitar, i have a hofner colorama to rebuild, does anyone have some hofner parts to sell/trade ? I need a Colorama scratch plate, one pick up version 1 and a Hofner Diamond Top Six String Pick Up ... I don't really know how to stick the vinyl surface on the guitar body, it seems hard to do right for non-professional. This sites seems to provide hofner parts but i never try to order (the site looks old) : http://www.projectguitarparts.co.uk

Well, I'm sure we'd all love to own copies of all our favorite Garage bands on vinyl, but those orginal pressing can get pretty pricey! I just picked up a reprint of "Black Monk Time" on 180 gram vinyl, and it's amazing(available on Amazon for those interested). Anybody know of any other recent re-issued Garage vinyl?(links please!)
