FIRST PIC!

1500B Head + 1x15'' box. This is the Marlboro I own and love the most.  It's a mean ''little'' amp with a nice vintage vibe to it. It doesn't sound awesome, but for its age and the fact that it's a solid state amp, it packs a decent ammount of soul.  For me, its best application is in the stoner/doom heavy  stuff with the combination of distortion and fuzz pedals.  The head also works great with a 4x12'' box and is really quite loud. My version is labeled  at 100W, but some are labeled  at 80W. I've tried the 80W version too and it's also pretty loud. It can easily handle small club gigs with a 2x12'' or 4x12'' speaker box.

More to follow shortly!

  2. Hi Felix! The speaker on the 1500b has an 8ohm minimum impedance...this means it can handle 8ohm or more, so if it's the same speaker on your cab aswell, it should be just fine with the load of 8ohm. Ideally you would want the impedance of your amp and cab to be matched. The problem would occur if your amp had an impedance of less than 8 ohm. So i think you wouldn't have a problem even if your amp is 16 ohms. Hope this helps, cheers! :)
