who's rumoured to be playin sweetie?

i got kris to do it at drummonds once. it was awesome.

Vox AC30, DSL50 into 2 4x12's....

use the 2203 as your primary amp!

or be a rock star... buy another cab and use both

after 1986 or 1987, i can't remember, 2203's went downhill as they started using PCB's. the best ones were made before this time, and they have the "true" valve sound.

well done though Rob. i'm sure your gonna love it regardless. i'm just picky when it comes to 800's. i'd have to get an original pre 86 one

that's what dan, jamesy and craig quik use.

dan and jamesy both have a fairly killer tone, then you've got all teh pedals you can use as well. ken.

and they can take away from the tone...ken? I try and minimize the amount of effects i use. In fact, all in front of my amp is a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor(to reduce even more sound), a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner, a Crybaby Wah and a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive. The only other effects i've really been looking at are a Digitech Whammy, a Boss Delay and a Line 6 Modulation Modeler.... neither of which i need or can afford

I'm running a Marshall 30th Anniversary 100watt head(which i run at half power so it euns at 50watts) through either a Marshall 1922 2x12" cab or a Marshall 1935 4x12" cab. The head has independant EQ's on each channel, so i have one clean sound and two overdriven sounds.

I boost my overdrive sounds(when i feel the need) with a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive(which has been modified to sound like an Ibanez TS-808)

i replaced mine cos i bashed them and bent them

keep the standard fender ones. its the same ones as they use on the USA models.

and remember two things

1. Other peoples problems ain't guaranteed to be your problems

2. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I just got the Chimaira album "The Impossibility Of Reason". Its awesome!!!!

to make this topic discussable(is that a word?).... did anyone get any new cd's this week??

*rocks out like a motherfucker*

loosen them as much as you can and it will lift out dumbass

i'm red... i have a big knob. i make cool noises

probably cos your speaker is moving a lot more. people don't realise that pushing your speakers a lot really fucks up the sound and makes it better

yeah, i know they sound shitty until cranked.

i cranked my one with a power break and it still wasn't all that great. it probably could of done with a check over. some AC30's are better than others though

craig... you suck at this game

i hate noisy tubes. i had some in my ac30 for ages. i just replaced the lot and it was fine

i had a fucked power tube the other night. noticed that right away.

gonna have to replace them now

yus... the red thread.... old school!

i have my faithful red cardigan on!

look around for a second hand marshall 20-20 poweramp. it should be perfect for any small-medium gigs and perfect for practising with. plus its got tubes, so it'll give the pre-amp of choice a nice warm sound

as for your choice of pre-amps, i'd get a pod XT. supposedly waaay better than the Pod 2.0

never go by what a recording sounds like.

if you listen to the guitar sound on the first Foo Fighters album, its pretty good, but most of it was recorded using a mini marshall stack, the belt clip ones

i've taken risks when buying amplification and sometimes it worked out and other times it never. Marshall has never let me down. i bought myself a Vox AC30 once upon a time and it was ok, but it wasn't as good as i expected it to be(i compared it to how i heard it on a few recordings). i even ran it with a thd hot plate (so i could get all those nice warm overtones) and it still didn't sound as good as i expected.

try before i buy is my new moto

unless its a JTM45

have you used one?

i fuckin hate rectumfriers!!!

if i ever own a boogie, its gonna be a Mark IV head or combo! yum!

y'see, i was gonna suggest that, but i don't think that would really solve his problem. they reduce noise when the sound from the guitar is below a certain threshold. if its set too high then it will affect a lot more than just the background noise from strings ringing out

Best thing to do is try and get yourself an EQ pedal to shape your sound more. These are really good if you can't get the exact sound you want from your amp as they can boost and lower frequencies to shape your sound more.

I also find that heavier strings(i use 10-52's, but you could use 11-54's) ring out less than lighter strings. That could just be me though

hope that helps some

i've got a Tokai Tele built from mid 80's parts.

its awesome.... its like no normal tele.... its like a tele on steroids

yeah, get it checked dan. thats for sure. i had that problem before on an old amp.... i can't remember what it was though ?)

ok, now am i the only person thinking... why?

and aren't Svetlana's what Marshall provide with their amps anyway? but they just rebrand them?

the old set that were in my Marshall for ten years are still in good condition... but the new ones tightened it up a bit.... but thats after TEN YEARS!!!

whats your reason behind the change Dan?

pretty curious?

first wah i had was a crybaby. not bad. sold it

then i got a vox, was ace! sold it cos i was skint

now i got another crybaby. cost me 36 from eBay... decent
