Because I sent back the Alchemist and am most definitely keeping the V22 and had saved £350 I decided I'd get an AC4 head and a nice mic preamp. Check this bugger, it's a valve preamp, can be used as an overdrive pedal and the icing on the cake it's a recording valve head giving 2 watts into 16 ohms and I've got a 16 ohm 1x12 cab doing nothing. Can't f**king wait.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260565159566&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching#ht_1200wt_1167
The cab is only a humble Epiphone, but it has impressed me with it's honest neutral sound.
