Does anyone here own a Double Trouble amp by Brian? and if so do you think it will project enough in most club sizes at its wattage? I think its 18 watts.I know it has a line out. I played through a Bassman for years but recently some outstanding citizen relieved me of my old original amp amongst other valuables here in the Delta. Thanks.
I use a HarpGear Double Trouble and love it! With most bands it'll project just fine. However when I play with loud bands then I just use the line out.
Mine is in the two-tone tolex. Sounds great, has wonderful tone, is super lightweight and looks as cool as heck. It also sounds great with any mic I plug into it.
Here's a clip with Mark Hummel playing through one. He's using Joe Lempkowski's Double Trouble (a tweed version). It's on the stool behind him.
Thanks Kingley I think ill probably go with it. Seems to be the best priced of comparable amps. Ill mostly sit in with roots and blues bands. Not too loud.
I had one and really liked it. However 2x8 just doesn't do it for me. I tried it as a 1x12 and that was so-so. The tone was excellent, but 2x8 with AlNiCo speakers is not ideal for me.
I know I'll sound nuts, but when A/B'ed with a Vibro Champ with a Weber Sig Ceramic, I didn't notice much volume difference before feedback. With a Kinder AFB+, the DT was louder.
I have a Vibro Champ, and now a Silverface Champ. With the Weber Sig and a Weber 8F125 in stereo, I can easily run with a DT. Not as convenient, and a bit of a different tone, but volume/projection wise it is right on.
Would I want another DT, though? If I had the money, Yes. But I'd want 2x10 or 1x8 and 1x10 instead...But I could TOTALLY roll with a stock DT. ---------- Mike Fugazzi http://www.myspace.com/niterailband http://www.youtube.com/user/NiteRail http://www.twitter.com/NiteRail http://www.facebook.com/mike.fugazzi
