Title: 18W & 36W question Post by: man_mars on May 20, 2010, 02:14:12 PM Hi,
New around here. I just had a couple of questions as I'm planning getting the 18 watter. Just wanted to know how much more headroom does the 36w have at gigging levels. I heard that the 18w is not so good at gig levels inorder to get some decent cleans ? Whats has your experiences been ? Also, given the 36W OT & PT and addtl tube sockets, tubes etc, how much more would a 36w head weigh in comparison to the 18w ? Could someone let know what is the weight of either head. Thanks guyz..Cheers !!! Title: Re: 18W & 36W question Post by: blaren on May 30, 2010, 12:30:17 AM Not sure on the weight but I'm sure it states the weight of both at Nik's site.
The 36W with the half power switch is what I have. In 18W mode it doesnt quite have the clean headroom I need for most medium or larger rooms. In 36W mode it has a lot more punchy headroom. I played it in 18W at a casino gig last night. Those gigs are pretty quiet. MORE than enough power for rooms like that...but...you get into a medium sized bar and you'll wish you had that switch to kick it into 36W mode. It has enough jam in 36W for anything. I use it at big outdoor festivals. We mic everything in even the smallest rooms btw. Get the 36W RP with half power switch and you'll never look back. |
