    Of course you can make anything sound good. You do an excellent job here. Some very nice tones out of that combination. I do, however, notice a lot of compression in effect. Is that the camera microphone?

    Yes I guess so. I played quite loud.

    I was curious if that was just sag from the amph or mic compression that I was hearing. What cabinet did you use? Do you notice a big difference with other cabinets?

    I used my Avatar 2x12. I never use any other cabinets because I don't have any. Except I have a 1x10 Mack cabinet, and of course it doesn't have any thump, compared to the 2x12 - huge difference.

    I think I am more fond of the Skyraider than the Heatseeker - at least with single coil guitars. It sounds "warmer" somehow to me. But then again, I haven't played the Heatseeker loud in a while. When it is cranked up, it becomes very dynamic. Both a great little amps though!

    No, they sell direct now - see http://www.mackamps.com/products-Skyraider-SR15/

    It's a sweet sounding amp.
