Dont love my Marshall SV20C due to the 1x10" speaker.
Still reach for my fender twin with 2 x 12" much more frequently. The marshall aint much quieter, but having 2 speakers is far more glorious than 1 smaller 10".
This is why I buy heads now. I can wire them up to any of the speaker cabs I want. 4x12 is still my favorite, but I have an open back 2x12 that I use once in a while.
Having a good 212 cab is clutch IMO if you like experimenting with different amps. There's something about having 2 12" speakers, even at low volume that just sounds better and has more presence than a single 12" or smaller speaker can offer. Having a good speaker cab opens up a world of possibilities with heads, combos with speaker extension, modelers, whatever.

With this amp conversation... I already have the PA system with two very large speakers. The speakers each have multiple inputs. Currently using just the one.
Am I set up here to just get an amp head and use existing speaker(s)?

You probably could, but it wouldn’t sound anything like what you’re expecting.

They are a completely different kind of speaker, designed for the full frequency spectrum whereas a guitar speaker is specifically designed for a narrower band of that spectrum. Assuming the impedence if your speaker matches your amp, you could theoretically do it but it would probably sound like total ass.
What you can do though is get a reactive load box like a Two Notes Torpedo Captor, which will provide a dummy load that your amp needs (tube amps need the load from a speaker cab otherwise they fail catastrophically), and also output a signal with a simulated speaker cab on it to your PA. A lot of live bands use this kind of setup to get their guitar to FOH instead of using a mic. Of course if you're going to drop $300+ on a reactive load box, you could just buy a proper speaker cab.

I just ordered this
This thing is amazing. Never had a proper amp and figured that old Washburn guitar was a total piece of shit. I had it fixed all in for about $150 and plugged into this thing - sounds awesome.
Any pedalboard recs? I want a carry/flight case that I can power in and go. I can probably mod it if I have to.
I don't have a specific brand rec, but as a good piece of advice i'd suggest avoiding those all-in-one integrated units. The power supply is generally poor quality, not isolated, and prone to fail. Best just to buy a good board that fits your needs and a power supply to match. Are you looking for one that lives in the case or is it just for protection? Pedaltrain is a always a safe bet and they sell fitted flight cases.

Way back a couple of years ago, I asked this thread some advice about buying a guitar before my son was born. Never did get to buy that guitar and time slipped away.
Well, today I was gifted an acoustic guitar from my wife's mom. Her old Alvarez she's played for years. I'm so happy. Now I need to learn a few songs I guess. It's been nearly 10 years since I've owned a guitar and I'm pretty rusty onna skill set I barely had to begin with.

I already have a decent JOYO power supply. I just need a board that it'll fit under. I don't need a flight case for durability per se, but I'd like to be able to just lift the lid, plug in and go. Even a suitcase would suffice.
