You know,several  years ago a friends band was doing a gig and they had a issue with a mic for the guitar and they had no spares,so we ran him direct from his head a vinatge Randall RG 100 thru a 412 with the Randall Jaguar spkrs. decent tone for sure,but by going direct his distortion was so in your face intense,he swore to always go direct from there on out. He and the other guitarist started using those Hughes and Kettner red boxes instead of mics. The other guitarist was using a Peavey Triumph 120 head thru Peavey cabs,but I don`t know what type of spkrs were in those.
