    Blackstar HT 60 stage/soloist

    I noticed the views-to-reply ratio as well! That is why I elected to post my take on the subject since it is "down-the road" from all the other posts and is likely to possibly help someone weigh their options. Since my previous post, I have purchased 2 HT-60 Soloist amps (both damaged in...

    Blackstar HT 60 stage/soloist

    I regularly gig with an HT-40 Club (purchased cheap with known issues, which I repaired) and love the tone. I use Strats, Les Pauls and "Les Paul" type guitars and the amp works great with all of them. The ONLY thing I miss is the footswitchable Solo Boost function. I just placed an order...

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option

    Oh yeah, I hear you there. However, if a major delay is expected you shouldn't incrementally keep changing a delivery date every month or so. You create expectations that keep getting delayed and that tends to piss people off. If you just told your dealers it won't be available for 6 months...

    Egnater Renegade 65W

    Stoked about my Renegade 410 I see I don't have to wait in line to reply to this thread! :laugh2: I bought an Egnater Renegade 410 combo that was damaged in shipment and repaired it. The amp sounds awesome! The clean channel is very good and the gain channel has so much gain on tap that...

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option

    Yes that's my footswitch, give it back! :laugh2: I guess you got lucky and got the ONLY Haze footswitch left on a shelf in the U.S.! I'll just wait like everyone else in the country, totally clueless why companies who have been doing a successful business for decades can have such a...

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option - DENIED! While everyone else in the U.S. shows the Haze 40 footswitch out of stock with none expected for months, the Korg onlline Marshall store showed them as available. Since I couldn't seem to get an answer regarding my inquiry about availability I went...

    Techs or other could you help please.

    An extremely good professional contact & potentiometer cleaner and contact enhancer is DeOxit 5 from Caig Laboratories. I used the first version of their product (called Cramolin) for over 20 years and DeOxit 5 is an even better product! :thumb: You can use it on pots, jacks, relay contacts...

    JVM Footpedal Switches

    Another thing you might look for that I have personally run into (and successfully fixed) on these footswitches. Look at the internal photo of the footswitch. That gray wire is a "common" ground connection between the switches. Pressing a footswitch connects this ground connection to that...

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option

    Yet another Marshall Haze 40 footswitch update: The whole reason I explored the JVM footswitch option for use with the Marshall Haze 40 combo was unobtainability. All of the U.S. on-line retailers either don't offer them (although they sell the amp) or continually showed them on back-order...

    marshall haze 40 combo

    Interesting, I'll have to try this on mine with my Haze 40 with a Les Paul. I normally play with a Stratocaster and have not noticed this phenomenon. Of course, I also set up the gain channel with BOOST and BRIGHT turned on and the gain only turned up to 9 or 10 o'clock I seem to recall. Steve

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option

    Good to know that the Haze footswitches DO actually exist! The photo of yours is the FIRST photo I have seen that wasn't the original factory photo all the retailers use! I have played around a bit more with the JVM footswitch and found only a few other combinations that make LED indications...

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option

    First Update: I received my JVM footswitch from an eBay auction and immediately sat down to see what might occur if I plugged into my Haze 40 combo. Success! Well, sort of. All the major functions of the Haze 4-button footswitch are definitely duplicated on the JVM 2xx series 4-button...

    Haze 40 4-Button Footswitch Option

    It seems that no U.S. online retailers have had the PEDL-10049 Marhall Haze 40 4-button footswitch in stock in recent memory and they all claim it will be available sometime after Christmas! I have no idea who screwed the pooch at Marshal or Korg, but having a nice little amp like this and no...

    HAZE 40 Problem

    I have to agree, the Haze 40 is a great little amp and is one of the best portable rock amps (and easily the best sounding lightweight amp) I have owned. I think once the problems get sorted out that the amp will settle into a groove and we'll see Mercury Magnetics come up with a magnetics &...

    marshall haze 40 combo

    Well, now that I have had some time to take the Haze 40 out into the real world of local live music and flog it a bit I can report on how the amp sounds and works (with my Stratocaster). I have used the amp both clean and dirty in a variety of venues and with a variety of musical genres. I...

    Need advice on Marshall Haze 40

    Haze 40 Footswitching Yes, the switching has become a lot more complicated! I wasn't trying to say that the Haze conformed to the same topology as those other amps. I was simply defending my previous topology choices as "customary" and normal in many other designs. Without an open Haze or...

    Need advice on Marshall Haze 40

    :shock: Oh? I have not found this to be universally true at all. The Haze is not a true multichannel amp (as is traditionally defined) but a single-input switched-channel amp. For example, a Fender Twin Reverb (or most blackface models) have different input jacks for each channel and...

    Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

    I agree with the previous posters on much of what has been said! The 2 blue rack-mount pieces appear to be Lexicon MX200 multi-effects. I own one of these so I am familiar with the layout. I'm pretty sure this system is a "wet/dry" stereo system with redundant back-ups for all the main...

    Haze 40...which distortion pedal?

    I tried my Haze 40 (using a Strat) with both the Ibanez TS808 and the Marshall GV-2 Guv'nor pedals and had good luck with both. The GV-2 has a more extensive 4-knob EQ section so it may be more versatile in that way. I also ran an external 16-ohm cab with it by making a custom "Speaker...
