Hello, I am new to the forum and saving my gig money to purchase a different amp. I am currently playing a Marshall Haze 15 with a 2x12 cab with vintage 30's in it. I only play the over drive side as I don't really play many songs in a " clean " setting. Clean to me is a over driven amp and then just turn down the guitar volume. I am in a classic rock cover band and I find at most gigs, I will have the gain on about 2 then the mv on 8 at most. I hear so many people say this or that amp is not loud enough, and I always find that funny. Most of the places we play at bars, casinos etc the volume is the same as it is in my room. We mic our amps mainly so we can hear ourselves properly in the monitors. I have yet to play somewhere that I can even turn the mv to 10 ! The haze is a 15w amp.
I started looking at the maz 8 for a smaller wattage so I would be able to get the power tubes involved without having it be super loud. Because with a 15w amp its just not going to happen. It seems to me the maz 8 would fit the bill, not to mention the tone. I would be playing the maz8 through the same Marshall Cab with 2 vintages 30's. Has anybody played out with a 2 x 12 cab with the maz 8? I would be curious as to your thoughts on the volume and overall performance of the amp. I fell like if I were to purchase the maz 18 I would have the problem I have with my Marshall, sounds awesome cranked but where in the heck can you do a venue and crank it lol. I was hoping the 8 watts would give the me best solution ?
I do not have any dealers that are close to me, but from the clips I have heard it seems like a gem. Any input would be appreciated, thanks !
