Here is a picture of my new Voltotherm combo. Isn't it hot? It has a 8" rotary speaker and two long tubes, one for crunch and another one for high gain. The steel sheet cabinet is quite uncommon but it's 2000 Watts still serve me well to make me feel warm in those ugly days of Märzwinter here in Germany.

Still having some problems doing profiles - can't find the input jack!?!
Hmm... Maybe you need an adapter ... 
I would also suggest a power attenuator, going off-axis as shown in the picture is a good idea, but more of a far miking could avoid overheating the Senheiser....unless you're looking for melting tones....
I like the rotary speaker.
OTOH I have heard from certain sources that spring is coming

some time next year...
I don't need this Profile because the winters in South Africa are warmer than the summers in Europe.
Sorry Lance but is not true, been 2 years in PE and even in Germany can be warmer....for a couple of days before the Winter starts again..... 
a little spring reverb would warm up my feelings in the meantime...
i do not have as much experience as you do obviously, but i think that putting the mike THAT far off axis
should result in a somewhat distant tone ...

Don't try a Ribbon mic with it...
Oh, yes. A Spring Reverb would be great!

Actually this is really my favourite mic position! But with this amp I do have a hard time. First test profiles sound a bit like this here. Anyway, it fits into the general situation right now...
We really need a profile of the + black box setting with max gain on the other knob. Rock it!!
