The solid state Marshall

[louis30092]

Because of old wiring in my house I'm going solid state. What would be the perfect solid state Marshall combo be to compliment a 100 watt Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb solid state?

I usually use the fender to loop the chords and the Marshall to play the lead.

Mostly 60s and 70s blues rock.

Thanks.

Not sure I’m behind your logic…but I like the 80’s solid states best. Lead 12, 5210, mosfet 100, etc. they’re mostly the same family of amp, just varying sizes and features

Have you considered a power conditioner?

 

[Wildeman]

You want a big one or a little one?

Here ya go, this'll make your 100w Fender sound like a backing track.

Marshall 5150 Late 80's - Black | Reverb

Many a years ago before Peavy and before Eddie there was Marshall and the 5150. I am the original owner of this amp, purchased in the late 80's.150 watts lead combo with 2 x 12's. Features MOSFET design, channel switching and reverb. This is the combo version of the 3315 and a very rare amp. You ...

You have some excellent choices as told above me

I would look for a 3210 lead 100.
But you are also going to need a cab for that one.

Cheers

I have no idea what youre getting at about your house wiring but do as you will.

A Lead 12 and a Mosfet 100 seem to be the go to solid state Marshalls...

I love my Marshall SS 30w '5010' combo--it`s was made in the 80s & sounds pretty close to a 'raging' single channel JCM 800 2204 when the preamp vol. is maxed.

I also don’t get the wiring comment as well. Marshall 80’s anything

Because of old wiring

Because?

5275!

 

[punchingboy]

I have one too. Nice amp. I think i liked the sound of the master lead combo better(but never compared side by side) but it doesn't have reverb, loop, or split channel.

Compact and sounds awesome turned up! No plans to ever get rid of it.

Because of the wiring? Yeah that doesn't make any sense to me either. You're alway going to have to deal with dirty and imperfect power. That's just the way it is. You deal with it with power conditioners and noise gates.

^This. At one point I had four of them. I sold the Mosfet 2x12 "Reverb Twin," as 100W was more than I really needed, plus it was almost as heavy as a tube 2x12. I still have the smaller ones.

 

[cjs42079]

Cool collection Brian! I have the mosfet 2x12 reverb…and it’s everything you say it is, but it sounds amazing. I love it.

5010, Its the f'n best

I love mine, esp w/ the PreAmp Vol maxed

My favorite s.s. Marshall from that era. Imo What the lead 12 should have been

I`m not familiar w/ the Lead 12 amp except that it`s popular. How does it differ from the 5010? [btw I love mine--pretty close in tones to my other 2 amps as I use a pedal to get them 'ramped up'/'hot-rodded' a little at the, unfortuanelty, home & late night volumes. However for me the 5010 doesn`t need a pedal as it`s 'ramped up' on its own even at lower volumes--just my opinion of course.]

Uhm, with all due respect, if the *wiring* in your house is causing you to consider moving to solid state amps you need to take a step back and reconsider your situation. Honestly if that's causing you such trouble it's likely a fire hazard too. Fix or get the wiring fixed and use the amp of your choice.

Also agree with Fitz here on power conditioners. Not cheap, but surge protection certainly is and an old UPS is dirt cheap, too.
