2 for the 200 and u can get away with 1 for the 100 and 50
but even the 100 u have to be careful with 1 cab as turning it up full your in danger of breaking the speakers.
talking of 70's hiwatt fane cabs here of course.
if you have hi power speakers like the EV's etc then you can do it with less cabs.
wouldnt mind a 200 tbh
750w turned up on a 400! wow!
They’ve got the Little P/J/D series, which is 0.5 or 20 watts and just the job.....
The 200 and 400 had switching in the jacks to prevent them being run without the full number of cabs, but these are a problem for reliability and it's normal to find them bypassed. With modern speakers it matters much less obviously - a single 4x12" loaded with EVs should actually take a 400.
To be fair I don't think you would ever run one like that - that was just flat-out with a sine wave signal into a dummy load, turned up to the point where the power then starts to drop off again, for proof-testing to make sure it would be reliable in use.
| literally used an old kettle and a fan heater with 1/4" plugs fitted to the power cable as dummy loads.

the harrisons are also still involved some how.
the new owners really need to work hard at getting the brand back up there where it belongs and shedding the harrison association and the damage they did.
hitone are now the modern hiwatt brand to turn to. fine if your in the states but for us over here in the EU lots of shipping and taxes make it a bit of a pain.
2) That's not an original Colorsound Power Boost. That's a 1990's reissue.
Quality content as always.
Took me back to the early 1980s and mooching around second hand shops and ( based on my increasingly shakey memory) I could have picked up a shed load of Colorsound pedals for less than the cost of a Wham album.
Even if you haven't got the luxury to open the pedal up to see inside, if you look closely at the graphics on the case, you can still tell earlier reissues of Power Boosts apart from originals. The graphics were tidied up for the recent Castledine/Sola reissue, but still aren't 100% perfect. The one in the video is an older reissue though.
