    Gear Clearout

    Oddly enough, it never occurred to me to take any pictures of it before I took it to the shop. If needs must I suppose I could go and take a few pictures in the shop, though it's not exactly close. I just checked their website but they've not got pictures loaded yet for it themselves and for...

    Yep, it's still available. I've actually given it to a local store to sell for me for commision and what I'm asking for it is basically what they'd be giving me anyway. If you want it I can easily arrange to go in and pick it up for you.

    So the Bad Monkey and Delay pedals are now sold and the amp is with a local dealer to sell for me and they will give me back my £290 even after they've taken their commission, though I can get it back off them if anyone else is interested. The Chorus pedal and Diago pedalboard are now on Ebay...

    Hughes & Kettner Switchblade 50w combo review

    I’ve had this amp for a couple of days now and I’ve hardly been off it so while there is a lot more still to learn about it, I feel I know enough to write an accurate review. When I was researching this amp prior to purchase it became quickly apparent that nothing divides opinion quite like a...

    Pedal Vs. Amp Distortion

    I've been looking for a new amp head and as I've always liked the sound of Marshalls but also high gain, I've been considering the Marshall JVM410 and the Blackstar HT Stage 100. However, my experience with my current amp has made me start to question the whole point of this. I've got a...

    Modern Marshalls - Flubby Compared to Older Circuits?

    This is a bit worrying as I was looking at investing in a JVM but the one thing I really don't want is flubbiness. I want to be able go from cleans to high gain and retain a highly articulate distortion. If the JVM can't do that, it's no good. It's the same reason I'm selling my DSL401; it just...

    Boost problem

    A number of people have suggested to me that the problem is caused by my amp as the DSL401 isn't that good due to the EL84 valves as opposed to EL34's and therefore something like a DSL50 or 100 would be better. If that is the case and I could simply upgrade my amp to get the crisp and...

    New amp suggestions

    Ah, Laney, I meant to say that one too and forgot, :). I was also looking at the GH and VH valve heads. I don't know much about the 5881 valves but I believe they can be changed to EL34's anyway.

    New amp suggestions

    The Boost pedal I'm using is already absolutely the last thing in the chain before it goes to the effects return. My DSL401 did have the original valves changed to a full set of JJ's and a G12T-75 installed but I don't know if those new valves were EL34's or still EL84's so that may make a...

    New amp suggestions

    The JVM sounds good and I see there are at least a couple on Ebay. What's the difference between the JVM and the Vintage Modern? To be honest, when I first saw 'JVM' I thought it stood for Vintage Modern but looking on the GAK website I see they are different models and the Vintage Modern seems...

    New amp suggestions

    I play a Jackson Soloist into a Marshall DSL401, through a variety of good quality pedals. At gigs I hook the DSL up to a Marshall 1960A. For high gain sounds I use the clean channel with a Hardwire Metal Distortion and an MXR Boost pedal for solos. This is very effective. My core sound however...

    Boost problem

    In actual fact, the boost pedal is in the loop already and I've already had the effects loop modified to series. I think that if I turn the Bad Monkey off the boost may be more effective but I just don't like the distortion on the 401 without it. I'm seriously considering selling both the amp...

    Boost problem

    I use an MXR Boost/Line Driver for solos but it doesn't always work as well as I'd like so I assume I need to change the settings on my rig. The amp is a Marshall DSL401. The master volume is set about half way and when using high gain I use the clean channel with the gain set at 2 and a...
