Hey guys, I currently have a Jackson Ampworks Newcastle 18w had running through a 1x12 avatar cabinet with celestion gold.
I love the jackson but have been having a taste for so something new and started looking into Dr. Z M12! I use a good amount of pedals and have heard the M12 takes pedals really well and has a good amount of clean head room. While I never play it loud enough, I have noticed that my Newcastle breaks up quiet early around 9-10 o'clock which i typically have no need for since I run a clean set up with dirt pedals, I maybe run on the edge of break up.
The second half of my reasoning is that I live on the third floor of a building with no elevators, with the head and cab I'm carrying about 80lbs of amp up and down the stairs, I was looking into the M12 combo which is about 50lbs, also having a combo would leave 1 free hand so I could take my gear up in down in 2 trips rather then 3 as I do currently. I know this section of my comparison has nothing to do with the actual tonality of the amps, but it is a part of my decision.
So just wondering what your opinion is guys! Let me know what you think!
