Well Gents I've joined the Galaxie Club! I just purchased Jamie's Galaxie and it's on its way. Thanks Jamie, it must have hurt to let that baby go. I think I'm going to try it out first in a 2x12 open back cab with a Gold and 70th Anniversary G12-H30 I just picked up locally from new forum member waynelawkid. I also picked up Jamie's empty 4x10 cab which I'm going to load with golds and greenbacks. I'm thinking both cabs should sound pretty good with the Galaxie. Merry Christmas to me.... :-) Hey, I need the diversion while convalescing, right?

Congrats on yer new aquisitions. Galaxie pairs up nicely with a wide range of speaker choices and configurations. Aint got much time with 'Gold or H30 speaks/variations. And somewhat limited time using a Zbest with V30 and H30 .... but am sure you will more than share your sounds and songs with an open back configuration as you described above ;D And the 410? I'm a huge fan of the Z 210 open back with Galaxie .... and figure that the 410 must be that much more goodness. Dude ;D cheers always, Joel p.s. don't be shy about running multiple cab set-up w/Galaxie

Stress retards healing.....Music reduces stress.... Go figure, it's an obvious case of "Doctor (Z) 's orders."
Nice score Brother Steve......Man, between you and Tony, I'm getting a craving for a Gal in a bad way.... Merry Christmas to you, indeed....way to go!!!!

You're getting just as bad as me! Congrats! It sounds great with a 4x10 and the G12-65.

Congrats on the acquisition! And condolences to Jamie... My Galaxie sounds real good through 2 10" Weber Silver AlNiCos paired w/ two of Doc's 10" speakers. It also sounds glorious through a single Celestion 12" Gold. I can't wait to here your report!

Goodies from Jamie arrived at my office this afternoon so I had to have a quick shot at it before heading over to my Mothers to wish her a Happy Birthday and home to wrap presents. I plugged my Rory Gllagher Strat into the Galaxie through a 2x12 open back cab with a Gold and G12H 70th Anniversary. The amp is very cool. Overdrive channel is RIDICULOUS! I love it but I did spend most of my time in channel one. This thing drives and sustains wonderfully, all on its own. Hit it with some overdrive or fuzz and DAAAYUM! Looks like it might take me a while to dial it in. Couldn't quite get the mid's dialed in right but that could be my inexperience with the amp, the newness of the speakers and/or the speaker choice. I'm still waiting for one more 10" gold. Once it gets here I can load the 4x10 cab up with golds and greenbacks. Man I wish I had a couple more of the Doc's 10" speakers so I could load that 4x10 cab up! Lots of experimenting and learning to do with this amp. Any words of wisdom, thoughts, suggestions, experiences 'yall could pass on would be most appreciated. It's very cool and I look forward to every minute of it. ;D

Finally got a chance to load the 4x10 cab with golds and greenies.
Didn't have but about 15 minutes to spare with it but YES!
This is an amazing combo.
Great, great all around performance, full bass and midrange with just the right amount of high end shimmer, all with with the snap of the 10's. This thing sounds HUGE.
I thought the golds might overpower the greenies, but nooooooo! They compliment each other wonderfully.
Sustain for days and massive, harmonically rich overdrive. Great note separation.....and that's out of channel 1! Kick in channel 2 and you better step back or sit down 'cause the sound is so good, it'll knock you over; and all this is with no pedal's.
Add a clear boost or fuzz and it literally breaths a luscious wall of fire that makes even me sound good.
I can't imagine any other cab/speaker arrangement being better.
Can't wait to get back at it and record some clips.
How did I miss the beauty of the amp?
