I always had problems with Marshalls before, maybe they just work for certain people, but these days, I'm looking for old school and Marshalls are gonna give me that beef I need, now I wonder what my maxed HM-2 will sound like through one of those MA's XD
Wow I wish I could go to England and visit the marshall factory... If you ask me they are the best amps out there I recently ordered my JCM 800 2203x and I can't wait to receive it.. Nothing's like the raw tone a marshall gives. I'd be like a little kid at a candy store if I went to the marshall factory!
@oRusty00 are your pickups stock,if so try a guitar with some Seymour Duncan pickups,Marshall's are vary sensitive to pickup quality (higher quality pickup have less noise and a tighter more full sound and emo.seymour duncan makes the best pickups) try some thing like a seymour duncan pearly gates pickup they go great with marshalls also better guitar cables will help cure noise monster and live wire make the best cables.hope this helps.
Should I ditch the DSL100 and JCM900MKIII and grab a JVM? I've played a few only in store though not in a band situaton. I thought they sounded great clean to mean.
Hey Sir, first Off I've gotta throw you some gratitude for all the cool shit you do. Cheers, and keep it up man. Now, I'm fishing for some Rock enlightenment, I'm currently rockin' ESP Standard series guitars but am interested in their LTD counterparts?? Specificly the indonesian made ones. I see you have chosen the LTD as your weapon of choice in this vid which makes me think, If the Monkey Lord Approves, who the F**k am I to question its quality. Just wanna now if their reliable?? Many Thanks
Chappers, Forgot to add this to my last comment....I cannot believe the sound coming out when you ran the class 5 thru the 4x12 cab. Awesome!! 5 watts. I guess 5 watts of handwired Class A is powerful. Great video man.
Chappers, so the only way to get that kind of OD on the Class 5 is to put the volume on 10? How does it sound at lower levels or with a pedal to OD it?
my buddy didn't believe that you COULD plug the class 5 into a 4x12 and that you were playing the vintage modern or jvm.... I dragged him down to a buddy's shop and plugged the class 5 into a 1965A cab and started to blow his mind lol...
So at 5:00 you guys plug it into a 4x12 . Then in the Dave Mustaine cab ? Still the class 5 or what ? If so , I'm so blown away !!! So , when do i stop hearing the class 5 anyways ??? Awesome playing too eh !
nice little " i am a viking" riff at about 7:00,its part of my usual jams too,lol.
and all around very orgasmic playing and amps as well.you have to seriously get a super group together to showcase that insane talent of yours Chappers,you do kick ass bud !!!
every demo of this amp on you tube sounds terrible! muddy! can't say it was better with the 4x12 but atleast more bassier which is understandable,,, what in the name of god is all people are raving about this amp for? it's a toy you could buy for your guitar playing kid, nothing more
@nekromachine we just need to make it clear that you covered your DSL in nasty green paint and then brought it here! it knows its being replaced! that JVM sounds amazing though
@insonicbloom Yes the paint job/defecation is true. The replacement bit pure speculation on your part. The JVM does sound amazing its even better in person but can't justify or afford the buy at the moment. Plus you have the little Blackstar now which i forsee being difficult to get back!
My DSL50 is great and gives me all i really need but i am VERY tempted to go for the 50 Watt JVM head. Very good range of sounds on tap and i will probably crumble (read definately) eventually. Just need to make sure my DSL knows that it is not going to be replaced but rather complimented. Second-Hand prefably. Good Vid Rob \m/
@nekromachine hey i have a marshall jvm 210h, its been through some damage in its time, mainly a 10 cm tear on the under the head and a 5 by 3 cm tear on the top, covered by black masking tape. just had it retubed (cost £120) looking to sell it as i would prefer a mesa :D would you be interested in it for £700?
@theboywhocantollie I would do but at the moment i am having to spend on studio equipment and software upgrades otherwise i would definately buy off you and thank you for the offer, very much appreciatted. If for some reason i can afford to fit it in budget then i will be in touch for sure. I do not usually buy 100 watt valve amp heads anymore since i can rinse the power section much easily with 50 watt and below but i could make expections my friend :D Which Mesa/Boogie are you going for?
"Marshall" you just have to own one Its the LAW they are just the best.
I totally agree with you Monkey lord the people/Staff are just the Ds Bs they are super helpful from service to parts and yes Made In Britain fantastic.
I have a class 5 now just need to get the 4x12 cab wow.
Who knew?!?!?! I've run my old JCM 800 1x12 combo, through the 1x12, with a 1x12 ext cab, with a 2x12 Fender cab, 4x12A Marshall, and a 4x12A Boogie.... That lil box sounds tight through ANYTHING! But I REALLY liked the Mustaine cab!
I've had two different class 5 amp's sent to me from marshall... one had a buzzy box, and the other a rattley amp... the second one was sent back again and sent back unrepaired... and am still waiting for a 3rd amp off them... and its been a month since i first bought the amp.... hmmmmmmm
