I recently recorded a young high school band, and both the guitar player's parents bought them brand new Mesa Boogie half stacks. When we recorded we used a Marshall cab in stereo, Mesa on one side, my Marshall JCM 800 on the other. Both close miced with 57's going into Millennia HV-3's. Guess which one they picked blindly every time?? Not like they were experienced connesiours of tone, but it makes me feel better knowing that I own the Marshall and not the Mesa.

The serial number is 5266. According to the amp tech who restored it, it's a Marshall '1974' 18w 1x12. These were made from '66-'68 and are apparently quite sought after. I haven't found a lot of info, other than that Marshall are currently re-issuing this very model. Also, that there appears to be an active. Pokemon Bluesea Edition English Download Gba. I have a Mk2 Master Model 100w Lead head, blonde. All original. Serial # is SL/A 02884k. Can anyone tell me the year from this info? Please keep me informed with updates from Kemper Amps.

I'm not saying the Marshall is the end all of tone, but one color I prefer. (end of Marshall elitist rant.) Ian. The new fu manchu has the 2k's on it. It sounds so freaking fat. I was suprised to find that what the amp they used. The 800's suck ass. 900's suck more ass though.

I really like the 45's the best but their $$$ aint worth the tone. Now the Orange OD120 is the all out winner. That or a vintage Matamp. Its THAT SOUND.

Makes my dick hard. Right now i have a sound city 120, a vht pitbull50, a orange OD120, an 800 [and a couple ****ty amps. Well i guess the 800 could go in this] and the Orange wins hands down on every tone every time with the OD's we are laying down right now.

The 800 doesnt even get turned on anymore after getting smoked time after time. Man, that sound city is the ****. Its what townsend used to use before hiwatt [its what hiwatt became]. JIMI used them too.

I plug into the sound city and its JIMI for daze like on. Just crank the living piss out of it.

You gotta play with the EQ to get it just right. Its some weird active EQ, like when they are on ZERO, the band fully cuts out all together. I use it for clean sounding stuff to kinda gritty stuff. Or you can put like a Big Muff [original or Pi] and get a super lead tone. The 800's just have WAY too much top end and NO BALLS. And its almost impossible to dial it in just right. Its like you need to run a high gain signal into it just to get it to sing.

And even then. I will have to check on the exact model.

But the only 800 series i have come across with any sort of balls is a 1x12 combo that a friend of mine brought in once. I dont know why that one sounded better [but still not great]. His Ampeg combo sounded much better. Still, an Orange/Matamp is still the best amp ever made IMNSHO. Dropping 6L6's into the Marshall will make it fatter but then it won't sound like a Marshall. I don't know if that's a good thing for you or not.

Personally I think it's bad because I like the EL34 midrange bite in a Marshall. I have 6L6's in my Dual Rectifier and Carvin X100B if I want that kind of sound.

Even though I've had this amp for a few days so far I've had the bass just about all the way up and the treble and presence usually aren't higher then 4 or 5. Any higher then that and your right, it gets thin and bright.

I know Orange but what's the deal with Matamp? Seeing as this is the Amp hang thread. On Michael Wageners recomendation for a good 'all round' rock workhorse recording set up - I bought an Engle Savage 120 Special Edition. I have a stereo cab - one side has vintage the other 30? Speakers in it (my idea) either way they are different and give me recording options I dig. I aim to get an open backed 2 x 12 as well with fender blue Elnico speakers in it to complete the scene - (for clean combo sounds) That will do me for a while alongside amps the bands bring themselves.
