3210.

MF Fam,

Just out of curiosity. Pull EQ is my favorite and why I really like the MOSFET 3210 amps. That option ( with an external EQ ) is what really makes these amps shine - an absolute underrated feature not often discussed. As far as I'm aware, no other Marshall has this, not even the MOSFET combo or other SS Marshall. This feature is what brings the girth/thickness to hang with my 50w & 100w tube heads. Just an EQ in the loop just doesn't get there without it.

So, with that said ( and my lack of knowledge for circuits ), what actually happens when the Pull EQ is engaged? I know it's probably extremely simple, but that simple ole feature is the underrated KEY to these amps.

Thanks in advance!

Pull Boost? My 3210 doesn't have that. Mine has a Pull EQ on the gain knob.

Without pulling it, you only have the single Tone knob for EQ in the Boost channel.

Pulling it adds the clean channel 3-band EQ to the Boost channel, in conjunction with the Tone knob.
Mine is always pulled. I like it.

It's the endorphins.

Pulling it just feels good.

My bad, that's correct. I appreciate the info my dude!

@guitarbilly74 Is the Tone knob essentially a Contour knob? It's pretty unique if so in that it goes from full scoop to super top end bright. It works pretty fantastic both ways for single coils and humbuckers.

Also, a cool thing about the Reverb is that being at about 9 o'clock tends to open up the amp a bit. It takes the amp jussst enough out of that stiff/dry territory.

Yeah it's definitely a contour knob, it's not as dramatic as the ones they used in the Valvestate series but it's basically the same concept: goes from mid centered to mid scooped.

Great And unique amp. MOSFET 100.
Mine really sings well.

Love the tone in a 4 holer cab.

I decided to take the MOSFET to practice today.

Again, I was reassured UNREAL how amazing these amps are. They Cut-N-Slice EASILY through the mix with a very, very heavy handed drummer. An MXR 10 band EQ in the loop, a RAT goosing the front. 412 straight cab with G12K85s. Absolutely ENORMOUS sound.

Boost Volume 3 o'clock.
Master 9 o'clock.

LOUD but rippin! One happy dude!

What eq frequencies are you raising or cutting

It's a great amp indeed. One of my most used amps here and I have a lot of Marshalls. I've been gigging with mine recently and it sounds great. Especially these days with soundguys being so picky about volume levels, the amp is a godsend since it sounds great at literally any volume.

 

[Neptical]

@guitarbilly74 Absolutely! I think hearing yours live made me finally pack up one of mine for practice ( potentially to use it live as well ). I was using my JCM2000s for jams. The way I have it set-up, it can hang with the big fellas!

I have always been amazed by the amp’s capabilities, but I have mostly ran mine as a helper, From either the DSL 40c’s , or the Origin 50H’s.
And I have never been disappointed
