Mernin' y'all. Got a meeting with the construction manager to go over some house stuff today.

Morning all. More snow on the ground today, looks like the next 2 days will be a little bit chilly, but roads were clear and traffic was light.

Trying out the new amp at practice tonight. We'll see how well it blends in with the rest of the band, but after adjusting it a bit, it should be an amazing upgrade.

I think I am going to get my son a EVH head or Combo for his birthday this year. Your opinion?

Head is always good!

Depends on what he's using it for. Playing live shows? Head is a good choice, although if they are small shows, he can probably get away with the 50 Watt. Bedroom jamming? Combo, head will be too loud. I'd recommend you listen to both though, because sometimes Combo amps with an open back sound much worse by comparison to a larger closed back cabinet + head.

Don't know how much experience you have in this area, so if I'm telling you stuff you know already, please feel free to ignore me! As you push tubes harder (volume up), the tubes start to naturally distort, getting a unique resonance and tone. Since that drastically affects the sound you're getting, it's really nice to have a wattage that matches your space and tolerance for noise. I find that even my 5 Watt tube amp is deafeningly loud when cranked up for bedroom jamming. In a practice space trying to play over a drummer and needing more head room, 45W or 50W may be a good choice. For a larger live gig, maybe you'd want 100W but even for small venues, 45 or 50W should be adequate. Note that this doesn't apply for solid state amps, for various reasons which I won't get into here.
