Can I use a Mesa guitar Head on a Marshall amp?
I am currently using a MG100HDFX Guitar Amp Head + Marshall MG412 cab. I was wondering If I could get the Mesa Dual rectifier Head and put it on My Marshall cab? I heard from my friend that the Mesa head is too loud for the Marshall half stack and would blow it out. I love the sound of the Mesa Dual rec, but I don want to spend alot of money on another cab... please help.
It's not a question of loudness... it's a question of amps/watts... which still shouldn't be an issue. Most quality heads/cabs are interchangeable. Actually a lot of professionals mix different heads/cabs. Marshall may not be the same as Mesa, but unless your cranking things to max... which shouldn't EVER be necessary, then you're good.
If you're playing a larger venue and need more volume than the half-stack can provide, then I suggest either you or the venue invest in a quality PA system and mic your cab. It's a good idea for saving wear-n-tear on your stack by avoiding turning things up too much... no matter what cab you've got, that head will eventually burn-up by being run at high levels.
Btw, Marshall and Mesa are my top 2 favs, so that's a killer half-stack you got there. Mesa heads are friggin' amazing.
