    I was thinking I'd use the existing Line Out socket, save drilling?
    Not easy, it's a complicated arrangement using a stereo jack so you get headphones when the plug is halfway in and line out when it's fully in. You'd need to modify the PCB to make it work. Much easier just to cut the speaker cable at the chassis outlet and do it there.

    Personally I’d hesitate to put a 12" in a Lead 12 (or even the somewhat larger Lead 20) only because they made a number of 1x12s in the same series, e.g. the 5010 (single channel) and the 5210 (split channel) which don’t sell for all that much more than a decent quality 12" Celestion!

    Very nice range of amps, from the Lead 12 to the Lead 100 MOSFET 3210.

    Yes, funnily enough pulled my Lead 12 out yesterday = it has some funny crackling thing goign on which I think is the power switch so just ordered another one. Mine had point to point wiring from pots inside when I checked yesterday but I have a feeling that might be one of my own mods! Just can't remember. Lovely sound I have put a speaker jack in the back and tried it this morning through a 1 x 12" cab with a Celestion Sidewinder n it which was used for the bigger brother Lead 75 model which I am currently turning into a head. Actually, a lot of the distortion seems to come from the power section, turning the master volume up full and then playing with the gain seems to give some different tonalities from just playign with the gain settings. I'm going to use this as my office amp for noodling between boring work.

    No, the daddy is the 5150 - yes, it's a Marshall! - 150W 2x12" combo. It came out before the Peavey too...

    I had a Mosfet Lead 100 for a while. Traded it in against a first generation POD when they came out. The POD is still in use :)

    Wow, never knew that! Cripes, must be loud, the 100 was brutally loud...
