WOULD THIS BE A BAD IDEA..?

Hi,

I was thinking of going with a Liberator 80 and a G12C. I have seen where you say the USA and Brit series seldom match (in your opinion), but I found their nearly opposite tonal charcter (according to the quicksheet) MIGHT blend well. currently, I use a very beaten in stock 15" from a Fender Excelsior - while a bunch of folks trash it, I find I kinda dig it... a lot. I just need something that can better handle being beat up.



I like rich, full, warm cleans, and crunchy, searing leads. I play a Silvertone 1484, so I can get great compression on the OD sound, but I always run the amp on max volume, getting cleans with the guitar vol rolled off. My tonestack is usualy set on Bass 3-5 and Treb 7-9. I find that this gives me the greatest dynamic range with most guitars, with enough High end to give nice harmonic overtones, while not having ear-splitting sibilance.



I guess I was just looking for a sound that can be great, both clean and pushed hard. (...Don't we all?!)



I'm a tough customer...any thoughts?

Please help.

Thanks!



I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

I can see how their opposing tonal characters might complement each other well. The rich, full, warm cleans you're after should be achievable with this setup, especially since you're already getting great compression and dynamic range from your Silvertone 1484.
