This is what I reckon is most important when you're finding one 100 watt tube amp isn't enough but another 100 watt tube amp is. I've never heard anyone say a Model T isn't loud enough. Never. I've heard them say the headroom isn't high enough, but not that it's too quiet or doesn't crush. I have had experience with a Super Bass and seen a Model T live, but I couldn't give an opinion over which is louder. The Super Bass is more like a Marshall and is loud and cutting. The Model T filled everything with noise. It was more enveloping.
I hear yah. Honestly, I think I would be happy with either one. and I would probably pick up whichever I found first in my budget or as close to as fair as possible. I figured I would just try to scope out others experiences. Thanks for chiming in!
I'd say go for the Model T. You'll always be curious about it. And if it's not your cup of tea and you see a Super Bass for sale locally that's a good price, you'll easily be able to make your money back with the Sunn.

I decided to tab out riffs rather than record them, because I am finding it easier for me to develop the riffs if I can just play them back off of a page. I actually have 2 "songs" written now, but they are only 2 - 3 minutes long. Seeing as how doom is a genre known for long songs, what do you guys suggest for fleshing out a song?
Don't flesh out the songs if they don't really need it. I sometimes fall back into the habit of extending songs because that's the style or genre I want the song to represent, but then I remind myself that some songs are much better at 3 minutes. Listen to any Whores. track and you'll see why adding another few minutes on to their songs would weaken the record. That said, Whores. isn't traditional Doom.
For me, if I want to flesh out a song, I'd try and find space and do something within it, usually very little. I'd pick out points where sparsity would work and start messing around with noise makers and ambience. I wouldn't do that with every song, but with a mid-album track you could tweak and mess around with noises to fill out empty spaces, or even have 'empty' spaces entirely.
I do want to retire my old ass Sound City at one point though, and would want to replace it with something on the modern Matamp type of clone territoy, at which point the Mother would be ideal!
