Marshall 6101 30th Anniversary Combo Eminence Lil Texas

This is a demonstration of the Marshall 6101 combo featuring an EL34 power section and the original voicing of the lead channel 3 (not LM). The only modification to this amp was the replacement of the stock speaker with an Eminence Lil Texas - a neodymium based speaker that is voiced for "american blackface amps" but found its way into this amp. While I'm not convinced that other speaker might be better suited to this combo, the tones achieved don't exactly have me actively looking for a replacement.

The Gear:

GUITAR - Gibson VOS G60 - the Guitar Center version of the 1960 VOS -- Burstbucker 2 in the bridge, 1 in the neck.

AMP - Marshall 6101 combo with Eminence Lil Texas 8 ohm speaker

MIC - Sure SM57

I/O - MOTU 896

DAW - Ableton Live 8

Hi,

Nice tone ! The Lil' Texas seems to have very good balanced tone with very nice solid bottom end, crisp mids and bite top end. I am more a strat and Fender style amp player with clean/crancked/crunch tone. Do you think that this speaker can make good job for Texas Blues, Funk and some Jazzy approch ? I hesitate between Lil' Texas and Red White and Blue. But the second seems to have tighter bass. Have you some experience or opinion about that ?

Finaly the amp I'm looking for, great demo and thanks for the aditional info on mics SM57 classic! I use one live. A Dammed good review you play well so tones in context stuff is great, you got another sub mate :)

[JohnVour]

my precise thought is that you should see that kind of reviewing as a job in you need any spare money in the future...

terrific review, in fact i was looking for kind of "metallic" riffs out of that little beast, but the whole review left me speechless.

very well done.
