Two-headed Mesa/Boogie Mini Rig

My guitar rig is finally complete... Finally received the Mesa 2x12 Road King cabinet. This cabinet is very versatile. To run both amps at the same time, I can put the 8 ohm output of each amp into each side of the cabinet - in this case the Transatlantic sounds best on the C90 open-back side, and the Mini Rectifier sounds best with the closed back V30 on the right. By re-cabling either amp from a 4 ohm output to the Combined jack on the cabinet, I can run one amp into both speakers.
The wheels on the the cabinet have a cool slide-lock feature which makes them very easy to remove. I removed the back two, allowing the cabinet to tilt back enough to project at you and the heads will not slide back and fall.
The sound using both heads in indescribable. Having two very different preamp tones coming from 9 12ax7 tubes and the amazing EL-84 driven power sections from these two little amps is amazingly complex and detailed. Using a bit of chorus or echo on the mini rectifier effects loop adds even more separation than just the amp's tonal differences. The combined power (50w) of the two amps with this cabinet would do exceptionally well at any club, and the studio options are endless.
