Having worked in IT all my life when it comes to amps I just love the simplicity. So no busman's holiday for me. I use a SLO 100, Tone King Imperial, Dr Z Therapy and Z-Wreck Junior and an AC15HW1. No menus to navigate through. All the adjustments are there in front of you. Just a single level...
I'm having a clearout as I have too much stuff. I have a Jet City Custom 22 and a JCA20HV - both with JJ valves installed by Jet City. Both brand new and unused with the all the original packaging etc. They are for sale. Only snag for most is that I live in the centre of France (Chateauroux...
Getting older sensibly is to always look at the amp's weight before delving further. Mind you I am 65 and am waiting for the delivery of a SLO - I'm just not sensible.
I live in France and I did go on a search for those JBL's but they were of course either a crazy price or they needed renovation. I hadn't heard about the Texas Heat before but it certainly has some good reviews. Thanks for the info jbow. I will bear that those mind a future cabinet build.
Thanks! Yep.....I think I have most of the tones covered with those plus a LP Dickey Goldtop and a strat. Definitely a good palate of tones to be had there.
Well it took took me some time and analysis and testing (and also some folding stuff) but I have ended ordering a SLO 100, SV20H and a Soldano 2x12 slant vintage 30s. Will arrive in May 2022. I'll let you all know how it goes.
I've got to start somewhere so as it is not logistically possible to try these out due to distance, I'm going Sv20H/SV212 plus a Alnico Gold in a 1x12 open back cab. If the SV stuff doesn't work I can return them free of charge within 30 days. I'll certainly keep the Gold though as I can use...
I'm probably more confused now for choice than when I started but thanks for all your input.....Origin, Sv20, 1987x, 100wSL. Any love for the Jubilee? I was hot on the SV20 yesterday but now I'm heading towards 50 or 100w with an attenuator. I've heard some demos at low volume and the big watts...
I like the "too much detective work" approach. My head spins when reading some forums and I disappear down the rabbit hole. Now this Alnico Gold you mention....is that a 1x12 setup?
There's a lot on here to get me thinking. Origin vs SV20 vs 1987x + attenuator. Then there's the celestion greenbacks and the celestion alnico gold (I like the idea of that...thanks Bill Maloy.) I have 2 Dickey Betts signature LPs so Bills setup with the R7 will be very similar and as he's a...
Thanks for the welcome everybody.
That sounds very interesting. Youtube vid says it's based on the 1959SLP. That maybe the key. I didn't particularly want 100w and this could be the answer. Thanks for the info tce
Hello All
Newbie on the forum and to the world of Marshall.
I live in France so my components choice is limited to what you would have in the States or the UK. I'm thinking of getting either a Marshall 1987x or 1959HW to get me in the ABB ballpark (or maybe even the SV20). Are there any others I...
