Head Cabinet Pairing
I have a 60w solid state head. Would I have any problems pairing it with a cabinet rated at 60w? Is it necessary to get a cabinet rated higher when using solid state?

The SG was my first “Dream Guitar” ever since I was a kid. Tony Iommi was my first guitar hero. Somehow though I was a Telecaster guy for 25 years. After a fretting hand injury five years ago, I started experiencing pain in that hand while playing.
At first I thought thinner necks would be the way to go( it wasn’t). 2 years ago I picked up an Epiphone Monkey SG and fell in love. As I’m getting on in years I’ve been entertaining the notion of getting a Gibson. Today was that day. 2017 Demo shop SG special. It checks all the boxes I desired but one (p90’s) but I like it so much I can live with that.
I’ve never used delay much at all, aside from slapback in an Americana band I was in.
Now I’m working on a Sludge/Doom project and I would like to add some atmosphere.
Here’s what I think I’m after;
A tone control
Analog (I think)
The ability to have a couple presets
As I’m really chasing down a notion and experimenting I don’t want to spend more than $250
Any ideas, recommendations?
I’m about a 140 pages into The Dragon Reborn, and I’m annoyed with how adamantly they refuse to trust or heed the warnings of the Aes Sedai (Liandrin excluded) that have been trying to help them. Is it just because they’re from Emonds Field and are supposed to be stubborn?
It’s exhausting
Is there any place in town that carries tubes for guitar amps? Guitar Center occasionally has them but I’m looking for more options.
Anyone tried them. I’m seeing $229 a piece which is a bit too steep for me. I really like Tony’s 13 guitar sounds. I’d like to get in the ballpark. I also want to be able to get into Pike’s territory on occasion.
Anyone have any suggestions? From what I understand they both use fairly hot pickups.
I have a set of Black Winters I had in a 25.5” scale guitar. I didn’t love them and definitely didn’t hate them. There is a quality there I dig a lot. You think they might get me there in a double cut Les Paul?
Is the poorest quality printing I think I’ve ever seen. Lots of ghosting on many pages. See the ones on the right side page? The go vertically.
I started reading GOTM January 31, 2025.
My original goal was to get through the main 10 within a year. Obviously, that didn’t happen. I’m trying to go easy on myself about it though.
Prior to this journey, I had never been able to commit to a series of more than 3 books, for various reasons. This one however, has completely won me over, I love it.
My local library sells donated books $1 a piece for hardcovers. I just got all these for $7.00!!!
It almost felt like stealing,😂
The guy in charge of the donated books came to my table afterward, and told me he was glad someone got them and that he’d just put them out today. And what a great deal it was.
I read the first two books a few years back, and I’m looking forward to continuing.
I just wanted to share my excitement and good fortune!!!!
