Thanks James - I switched over from a Marshall JVM410h about 3 months ago to the Royal Atlantic and haven't looked back since. It's such an awesome sounding amp. Perfect for thick hard rock tones! I saw a pic of the RA-100 with a matching 2x12 and I had to have it. It was actually only a $35 up-charge from a standard 2x12 recto cab, but it took almost 2 months for it to come in from Mesa - well worth the wait!
