Jeid Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 it was in my 30th Anniversary Marshall Head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Now that is a disaster! I guess you have to replace all the power amp valves now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig deadenstereo Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 nah, if only one tube has blown you can just replace that with a similar make - should be alright.I used a 30th anniversary head in the studio on sunday. Absolutely "the shit". It's a toss up between that, a TSL 100, a Dual Rectumfrier and an ENGL Powerball for my next amp. Basically, looks like I'm going into debt.

craig deadenstereo Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 My JMP marshall is on it's way back from the marshall factory just now, after having a new head cabinet custom made for it. Can't wait.But yeah, those 30th Anniversary ones are nice - about a million options on them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 damn straight, you can get about every marshall sound for the past 30years. i use a Boss SD-1 which has been modded to sound a bit like a TS-808, and i can get a pretty meaty high gain sound... almost rectumfrierish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
