They have. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm sure a higher end Marshall would sound better but for that price, it's a steal. Sounds a million times better than the MG and actually has a lot of punch.
Hi!
I'm looking into getting the Blackstar HTV-212 2x12 cab for my Marshall. Do any one of you here own one, or played one, whom can give me some sound advice? I tried one but not with my Marshall head and I'm really a noob at this stuff so you guys might be of great help.
The official...
I got the KRANK Distortus Maximus which sounds brilliant with the MA's overdrive. I also love the MA's clean and the Resonance-Presence-Reverb options!
I'm buying a cab for it first. Then I'll change all the tubes at once. I'm not one to linger!
Mine is the 50 watt version so it has 3 + 2 tubes not 3 + 4 (100 watt version).
So I should get:
- 2 Tung-sol 12AX7s
- 1 Electroharmonix 12AX7 (for the Cathode Follower Position)
- Matched TWO SED Winged "C" El34s.
My wallet just squealed a little bit. I also need a cab =(
Just checked... that cab is more expensive then my amp! I'm actually looking for a 2x12 not a 4x12.
Are Crate cabs any good? Behringher or Laney? Maybe a Blackstar HT212....
I love it but I definitely need a great cab for it. A modded SS combo is not the way to go!
Plus a change of tubes supposedly removes the subtle fuzziness of the boosted overdrive! Will get to that in the future.
TWIN.... thanks! So I should be looking into tubes with a middle Bias point? I have no idea what the bias of my amp is and since you said it can actually kill if I were to meddle with that stuff [even unplugged] I'm scared to even go near it!
I'm from Malta [Europe] so buying from online US stores is a major problem for me, which is why I went for eBay. The link I posted was from a power seller so I guess I could trust him/her.
By the way, you're of the opinion that I should change all 5 tubes?
Erm... honestly, thanks for the advice I'm sure it is very good but I'm a bloody noob on tubes. Can you please explain to me more what I sould buy (exact model number) etc... Please!
Sorry for my ignorance but that's the reason I joined... to get to know tubes and whatnot. Thanks!
EDIT: Is...
Any suggestions on which tubes to change and with what? I'm kind of concerned with the boosted overdrive since it sounds a tad cheap but I'm blaming it on the shitty speakers that I've got. I'm using a Fender FM212R combo amp which I modded to make it a 'cab'.
First of all, hello guys! I'm Androo, I'm new to this forum and I'm new to Marshall Amps. My Marshall MA50H arrived yesterday and I truly truly love it. I'm now scurrying for a good and worthy cab for it. Pics!
