      The cabs that came with the head are 4 or 8 ohm stereo.
      I have another bottom cab like yours that is 16 ohms and another black cone that is 4 or 8 ohm stereo.
      Find another head and I'll have 2 full stacks

          Looks like the 80's era Crate amps

            Amps were built by Laney in England cabs were made by Peavey (Birch) speakers are Eminence red lines. All good stuff so call them what you want mine sounds fantastic and the cabs sound great. 80's Crate heads kick ass I have a Lee Jackson designed stealth 50 (4 6V6's) watt head that does a fine job. Don't knock the 80's Crate stuff until you play one.

              Played many a show with this rig and it did the job just fine.
              50 watts 2 gain stages nothing shabby about this amp just its looks beat up because it is.
              V 30's in the cab as well all bone stock.

                Awesome! I've always loved the look of those Jackson amps! Never had much experience with the head itself but the cabs sounded huge!

                  The amp doesn't sound bad at all. But I bought it when it popped up for sale because it carries on the Jackson theme which goes well with most of my guitars I've owned some Crate amps before, this definetly does not sound like a Crate!

                    I'm not knocking it. I had a Crate 1/2 stack when I was 15

                      No worries, I didn't think you were knocking it. I was just saying sound wise it does not sound like the Crates I've had in the past. It's not my first choice tone wise, the bottom end is a little too flubby for my liking but it does have a sort of hotter JCM 800 sound to it. The carpeted look is reminiscent of some old Crates. BTW, many many years ago I ran two Crate combos in stereo. I think at some point all of us had a Crate of some sort
