So what actually is the heaviest combo?

jpfamps

I've seen a Fender Qyad Reverb with JBLs.

That was heavy.

Mind you, I've just started getting into Hammond organs................

@jpfamps - For the love of god… if you have a hammond, get it chopped!

The orange ad140 combo was a heavy beast, hard to find now aswell

I thought I was so smart putting my AC30 into a flightcase with wheels. Then I tried to lift it into the back of the car.

I had a Jim Kelley combo... Foxx moi, it weighed about 36,512 lbs...

The Egnater Tourmaster combo is said to be one of the heaviest

The Cornell AC30 prototype 2x12" cab and head unit I had was pretty huge. I also picked up a 1st edition JC-120 with the Roland speakers taken out and some hideous old Celestions that made the unit well over 40 kilos.

Lighter than The Twin.

PowerCels perhaps? They were ridiculous, up in the EV range. The original Pioneer speakers in the first JC-120s were heavy too, about JBL weight I think.

This! And a 1x12 at that!

I will weigh my Traynor Mk3 tomorrow. I've got a head version too - I would swear that is heavier than the combo!

heaviest 30w must be the DC30 at 83 lbs

If you discount my Trem-o-verb which is currently running with four 6V6s and one 5V4 and produces about 30W, yes .

The Matchless doesn't even have end handles either, which is silly at that weight.

yes, should have end handles

provoked me to buy this:

I had a Burman. 2x12 for one gig only never again!

Also years ago in my old guitar shop, someone rang up and asked would I take a Laney Aor 100 and 4x12 cab in part ex.  He wanted to part ex it against a small loud valve combo, beleive or not he turned up in a triumph  spitfire! 

He played through a Peavey Mace I think which was a 1x12 combo, loved it did the deal and as he went to walk out with amp, he just grabbed it by top handle and went to carry on, it was hilarious his feet kept going but amp stayed where it was with his hand attached as he almost fell over. 

That was a heavy amp, and I have used twins and MkIII boogies!

lol… I'd forgotten about that one. No, it's a 160W 2x12" with two Black Widows, and I think you may have just established the new (guitar, at least) combo weight record . And quite possibly volume too, they were completely nuts!

I'm pretty sure it's the Mesa Road King mk2 2 x12.

98 lbs which is about 44.5 kg.

Give us a lift mate!

UnclePsychosis

A friend of mine had a Trace 4x10 bass combo that was definitely a two man lift. Insanely heavy.

I've never really struggled, but then I'm retry fit, over 6 foot and 14 stone. I can actually carry two 412s at once, I don't know how I found that out but it used to be a handy trick.

My little peavey is massively heavy, I've toyed with the idea of getting a lighter cab made for it.
