Had several Marshall amps over the years, and other amps from Orange, Ampeg, Boss, Blackstar, and Randall, along with countless distortion, overdrive, and boost pedals.
Got rid of everything once I got my JVM205H. It literally does everything I need.
Played D’Addario almost exclusively for 20 years. Switched to Ernie Ball about 7 or 8 years ago. Switched back to D’Addario about a month ago for this very same reason.
I got my first Les Paul Classic in 97, brand new from Chaisson Music in South Amboy, NJ. And I’ve been playing that particular model almost exclusively ever since.
To me, the 60’s slim-taper neck profile just feels like it was built for my hands.
Welcome to the forum.
More than a handful of good people here that can help with just about any questions or issues you may have.
You say you can’t get a decent metal sound out of an ATV150. What in particular about the tone you are getting do you not like? Is there a specific tone you are...
Agreeing with Vin and some others, if you need such low volume that you can hear your guitar acoustically over the sound from the amp, then it’s pointless to use an amp.
I am unfortunately in this situation. Most of the time I get a chance to play anymore is after everyone else in the house is...
The split 50 5212 is the ss version of the 4210 channel switching JCM 800, but in a 2x12. A bit different than the Lead 100 Mosfet 3210. I’ve owned both. The 5212 sounds better than that Lead 100 Mosfet I think. Definitely a bit more in it’s tonal abilities. Not as ice-picky as the 3210 is. With...
Guy in a brown truck dropped off my new JVM205h, and it was definitely the best money I’ve ever spent. It literally does it all. So I’m looking to unload my TSL60 and DSL20hr heads. Both come with foot switches and power cables. Looking to get $650 for the TSL60, and $450 for the DSL20hr, plus...
You’ve made 2 boo boos.
Boo boo #1: You posted your question here.
Boo boo #2: You posted your question here with the expectation of getting opinions from “the knowledgeable people within the Marshall community “.
Other than that, if you like how the amp sounds, then rock out with your cock out.
I have a DSL20H with matching 2x12, and a 2525H with matching 2x12. And, I actually prefer the DSL. Of course, 40 people on here will give you 400 reasons why I'm wrong, but that's just my honest opinion. For me, I think the real key to the DSL Lead Channel is keeping the gain low, and boosting...
Thanks wakjob. From the limited information that I was able to find, the T in the beginning of the serial number indicates a 50 watt model. There is an inspection sticker on the inside, but unfortunately, no date.
Probably been asked a million times already...
Where can I go to determine the year of manufacture based on the serial number?
I have an old JCM800 era Marshall Fifty Split Channel Reverb combo, model 5212. No indication of year of manufacture anywhere inside the chassis. Seral number is T04102...
Hey folks. I recently picked up an old 5212- Marshall Fifty Split Channel Reverb 2x12 combo amp. For a few months it worked perfect and sounded really, really good. Suddenly, it crapped out. Upon inspection, I noticed the .5A fuse on the circuit board had blown. I replaced it. Plugged it in and...
Thinking about building a custom '58 double cut Junior with a P90 in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. Anyone ever use anything from these guys before?

"I have a weird relationship with strats...
I want one, get one, sell or trade it....never a great one or a keeper. I dont know why"
I was exactly the same way with strats until I ponied up the rubles for an American Standard strat. It is probably the only guitar I've bought in the past several...
