Ok, let's assume you are playing a small gig at a small club. You are playing mic'd through the house PA and you play primarily dirty, distorted sounds.
Does it make a difference to your overall sound whether you are playing through a 1x12 5 watt combo or a 50 watt head with a 4x12 cab?
It seems to me that since you're being mic'd the sound dispersion and projection won't matter since all the sound is being pushed through the house PA.
Is my thinking correct here?
Real life scenario:
I am gigging with a '59 Bassman which has 4x10's. I am mic'd at almost all our gigs. The amp is big and bulky and I'm thinking of buying something small and portable for these gigs.
It makes sense to me that a quality, all tube 5 watt amp will sound just as "big" as my Bassman in this environment because I am mic'd. Am I correct?
