Is there no solid state 75 watter? I realize that the 250 puts out close to 75 watts...it's not wattage I'm searching for, I'm just hoping to widen my search options.
Sorry, it's a tuber...

Only 3db louder than 50W which is only 3db louder than 25.

fwiw, Jer used a 2300.

That's 100W maximum per JBL, in a 3x12 cab.
Seems reasonable for a theater/stadium rig, no?.

I do, however, carry around double or tripple back-ups of most everything including a POD XT and a Crate Powerblock and a tuner and a Sansamp, shit the list goes on but I've never only fried half an amp.strumminsix wrote:You've never had one side of a stereo amp go out?

If you're gigging as much as Garcia was in the 70's and 80's, and you're driving your equipment all over the country, your equipment is guaranteed to fail. It's just a matter of "when".
