«  Good transistor »

Published on 06/14/10 at 13:49
80 Watts
Preamp tube (12AX7) and amplification transistor.
- 1 knob gain for the preamp
- 3 Canneaux: clean, crunch, distortion.
- Reverb, Equalizer (3 bands), contour.
- Effects loop.
- Foot switch.

UTILIZATION

Simple Config

The clean channel EQ is inconclusive, it may be malfunctioning on my own, apart from the contour of the distortion that changes the sound completely.

One problem was the brand but apparently Marshall crachotent knobs in every sense, I tried everything to contact bomb, disassembly, cleaning etc. of all kinds ... nothing helped. The simplest is to change but what kind of amp I do not know if it's worth it ... Considering the price of the amp now!

SOUNDS

This gives a right and its pretty clear clean channel, used a Telecaster U.S.: good record highs, very banging. May seem a bit cold, although on certain securities 90'S New Wave but little heat and lack of momentum for a more 70's style or styles more "roots" in general.

The distortion is not bad but still very limited settings (allow one or two good pedal)

beautiful spring reverb on the other hand


OVERALL OPINION

Very happening everywhere still like amp, I would say lack of personality.
But little good help, I use it mostly in repeats. It can easily be used on stage, he even served me a lot of great scenes. It can be very powerful if it grows well gain.

+ the lamp warms the sound input which gives it more in relation to a unit transistor. attention does not expect to have the dynamics of a tube amp, it's still very right output.

ThE - settings that do not really on the sound (maybe they are faulty on mine I bought secondhand in '98 I do not really know when it dates ...)

If you want an example of what can sound out the beast, listen to "Crazy bodies" on my myspace http://www.myspace.com/accident7 recorded with a Telecaster and this amp.
