Watch the video below from the 2:00 mark until the 3:35 mark as he gives a good explanation of how putting in a loop would alter the original circuit but be forewarned, he is Scottish and his name is Colin which automatically makes him a prick (full disclosure, I am Scottish and my name is Colin so I know what I am talking about here):
Ade Emsley, the designer from Orange, has also discussed how adding a loop would alter an amp that wasn't designed for it but I cannot remember if I saw that in a video or read it in an interview. I will search around and post it if I can find it.
And think about the classic Fender amps that have been reissued - did they alter any of those circuits to add a loop? Not that I know of and you have to figure there is a reason for that - because it would alter the circuit.
I really liked a number of the tones in that AD30 video, but the pedals likely made a huge difference in the tone, I'm thinking. Beneficial Degradation, perhaps?
I would like to hear it without any outside influences to hear what the amp really sounds like.
Now I have to get my pedal board out, sheesh...
I don't think you're even in the class. Judging from your language, I'm, thinking maybe you were held back a few years, or maybe still working on that GED.
"rest of us"? That's funny, I think you're the odd man out here dude. Try reading the responses to your ramblings. I've wasted enough time reading your ass induced posts, to my "ignore list" you go. Buh Bye.
I installed one in my JTM 45 reissue, sounds great.

Dude if you read Jim Marshall's biography, he clearly states rock amps from the JMP on forward that EL34's are the preferred tube and quoted as the Marshall tone. Why? they have the midrange punch & better harmonics. Thats what Jim Marshall says. Those earlier Marshall's don't have much gain and back then EL34's weren't that available. Nothing to get all worked up over dude.
Most classic Marshall's don't have much low end. They are high midrange amps. That's why they sound so awesome. They cut through a band mix like no other amp. The JCM 2000 & JVM's have much more low end than previous models.
Can I have it instead? I like beer!I think a couple of factors here may have been competition; EL84's were being used by Watkins and then VOX (JMI) with a lot of success. Also the EL34 was a fair sight more powerful, and Jim was getting requests for volume as well as tone to put it simply.
Personally, I find there to be more and more pleasing harmonics driving EL84's in the right circuit. I like big bottles in Marshalls. YMMV.
Missed an 'r'.
OK, that was uncalled for, have a pint on me...
Sweetwater always kicks me back a lable if I ask. It takes 15-20 off the returned amount but its worth it, for me, since if something happens on the way back its on their label and insurance and stuff.
The biggest complaints about ALL the 20 watt studio series amps is that they are way way too loud . Just go to the comments section of any retailers site that sells these 20 watt models and approx 90% comment how ridiculously loud they are .
Most people say the SC20 is way way way too loud for home use.
Hello I have one of these amps, once you get the hang of Dialing the amp in you will love it! You can get some really great tones. I love this amp, I had been a Fender only guy for most of my Life until I Demo'd one of these. %/20 Watt amp is all you need and this baby is badass. Plus when you go to replace the tubes there is no need to bias the amp witch is awesome with no down time. That's direct from Marshall. You won't be sorry about getting this amp.
