it's funny. this set up is at our store, and I would have band practice after hours. she was star stuck by our drummer cuz she never been that close to a drum set before, lol. I told her to get behind the kit and jam out on a beat, and she ran away, lol!!!!!!

hey Kev,

it's really not that bad. it's really just the same thing as the duel reverb, but with one extra channel. so I can get my clean fendery tone, my jcm 800 crunch tone, and my high gain tone.

I been getting into the Mesa Boogie Road King lately, now that's an amp with diarrhea in the knob department. :shock:

I tel ya what's a good bang for your buck would be the new peavey windsor amps. Those have a great sound to them. I very fond of the Mesa/Boogie dual rectifier amps as well as the mark 1 amps. I'm a lover of all marshall amps but always liked the straight forwardness of them. All I gotta do is plug in and play and only adjust one knob.

My love for Marshall also came from the Ramones. that guitar tone you can't get for any other amp.
I really liked the Peavey trans tube amps made in the late 90's. solid state amp to be voiced like a tubed amp. it's was cool, but a little too much of a metal amp to me.

the newer mesa boogie clean channels are freakin awesome though. it's a copy of old fender amps. I been getting into old fender amps too. great for surf, and that neil young grungy tone.

I have a Marshall Silver Jubilee 50 W full stack from 1987, including:
- 2553 head
- 2556A + 2556B cabs (2 x 12" each)

I've had it ever since it was new, and will probably never sell it. The sound is simply great - if you need THE Marshall sound, a good Marshall is the obvious way to get it. The 25/50 Jubilee stack is a little bit smaller than most Marshalls, which makes it nicer to carry around.

I use my Marshall for punk rock, but the clean sound is surprisingly good and interesting too. The model that I have is the smaller stack from this pic:

This concludes my report from outer space. Now, back to studio!

Don't get a Randall solid state. I posted elsewhere how my Randall 150 head keeps cutting out when the MV is set over 5 and after nearly a month it's still being worked on because noone knows what's wrong with it. I did some research on the net and found that there's so many people around the world having the same trouble with a variety of Randall amps.

Now the Marshall JCM 800 I've been borrowing lately is a KILLER amp.

I sure wish I had me one of those.
Bill.

hey,

I LOVE marshall jubilees. the reissue for slash didn't sound the same to me, but when ever i rcorded stuff, I'd borrow my friend's 2550, and it delivers every time. for thoses that don't know much about the marshall jubilee's, it's kinda like a tone that's between a jcm 800 and a jcm 900.

I still have my 69 Super 100 Tremolo stack a 76 JMP 50 watt top and a 76 JMP 50 watt combo.
