Anyone downsized from a stack to either a combo or a mini head ?

Yup, I moved from an early JCM800 2203 to a mini jubilee head with a 2061cx 2x12 cab. Never been happier.

50 / 100 Watt Marshalls + 4x12 + powerbrake =>  last gig was a Boogie Mk V 25 weighing in at 16,5ibs  into a small format Marshall 1922 (2x12) cab - unmiked - more than adequate for average pub gig with heavy handed drummer - country to djent capable amp -  best piece of kit I've bought in years ..

Yep, across the years from 4x12, 4x10 etc to more recently 2x12 then 1x12...

Now with a small Redplate combo, thatll fit in my really small boot or footwell...
Carry it one handed.

And its the best sound Ive ever had. Winner winner chcken dinner.

Gone from a Marshall 6100 with 2 4x12's to a JTM45 with a 2x12 to a Jet City and a 1x12 and now a Helix with no cab at all

They are all different, and I've got great sounds out of all of them, the thump of 2 4x12's is fun, but the Helix is a damn sight easier to lug around.

Think about why you want to downsize, buy something appropriate and make it work for you

How's the 2061cx? Keep looking at them........

Running the standard speakers?

viz

I oscillate between full stack, half stack, 2x12 and 1x12 (depending on venue), all with the same head which is switchable between 100W and 50W. I can’t tell any difference in sound to be honest. They all sound great, and loud.
