SlapKid « A good marshall, finally! »
Published on 02/07/11 at 11:49Reference 5205 on the back, 12 reverb Crane (lead 12 not marked, although he is the brother).
HP celestion g10d25 16ohms, a real shit (like all except the greenback Celestions) I changed a little trouble with the impedance seen.
gain bass mid treble reverb master input line out phones, basta.
Attention, the impedance is 16 ohms minimum, because it is not just any amp with transistors of the chip stereo amplifier which still sounds pretty horrible, this is a power stage coupled Mosfets H and changes everything.
For info ring lamp among the mosfets transistors, and larger. Google hit on the subject is always interesting.
UTILIZATION
Very simple, clean and up to 4 donf good overdrive, as shown in tests of the lead 12 is acdc zztop battery inside, but then pile in!
The reverb is useful because not too long and has a pile of nice clean treble in clean.
The summit is the line out which does not cut the hp (3.5 to 6.3 in connection with the phones were out of line out without hp) as it is well calibrated, ie they can link it to the power amp input of a tube amp.
The series was lead12 reverb12 also often used rack for a driver stage large caliber by most pros say it's the quality of the product.
SOUNDS
Very usable gain back that I can not pass guitar volume of earth wind fire to zztop (hsh to split with my ibanez style automatic), it is rather rare.
Gain at 4 it's clean and a nice sound, flat but not cutesy, very usable with jazz by example, and gets along very well with a distortion pedal. In short it is not kicking Rican competitor's impossible to marry ...
I used it at least four years only 412 16ohms (its type-randall mesa, rather hoarse and angry, nothing to do with the 1960 briton) hénaurme with pleasure! It's incredible sound quality that emerges from the whole, we can measure the scope of Mosfet beauty is in the class saturax.
The volume reached hello leaf is hairy! In pub or small room is top if it has to lug the 412 biscottos ... The trick
OVERALL OPINION
Mosfet is not bullshit, even very strong no trace of the typical metal grating transistor.
It's more expensive to produce, of course, but back then there were even sent to walk counters peas ... (among us: the plague of modern times)
This amplifier is manufactured in England at Marshall, which is becoming increasingly rare now (pipes or not).
It was also not good but we have given something for nothing.
Reliability issue bin apart from a shot in the spray control knobs Scritch nothing to declare, and the device displays a good quarter of a century on the clock.
Conclusion you have understood, buy if you find one! Hurry!
Coutant at the time in the 300 euros, for info
Compared to the last version I used mg15fxnew a moment I prefer reverb12 bin, not pests in the long run.
12 watts and are much more sturdy than the 15's again, let alone the heat / sound quality.
And frankly, reverb suitable for electric guitar (the digital I do not miss a tad) on the effects programs and all I had bin sick and pif fast enough, ditto for distos presets that do not grain of the real thing reverb12.
