MGR/Rick Scott « Marshall AVT50 Head »
Published on 05/24/02 at 15:00I traded in my VS100RH for it at Noah's music in Yuma because I needed something better for recording.
TIGHT punchy vintage metal overdrive -much tighter than the VS100RH. Straight forward setup. Excellent, warm sounding clean and reverb. Gain switch on the clean makes the clean channel warmer and more versatile. Much Much louder than I expected -sound maintains shape at just about any volume. Records well and looks sharp too.
It would be nice to have a mid EQ on the cleans, but the sound doesn't seem to suffer much from it.
The construction is beautiful! This time Marshall actually made a Valvestate head that is proportionate to the cab. It doesn't look cheap like the older heads -it includes gold lace lining around the perimeter of the face and has a vent and fan built in to keep it cool. I seriously go to sleep staring at it!
The trade was just a trial run at first. I actually had low expectations on the AVT50 head, but was willing to try anything to make better recordings. I compared it side by side with my friend's VS100RH and was truly surprised and astonished! I doubted that I was going to keep it, but after hearing just the first few notes from it, I was won over. I haven't tried it full bast yet, but so far seems to be about as loud as the 100 watt VS100RH. I liked my old more versatile VS100RH, but the versatility couldn't match the sound -I am thrilled with the trade!
