Why do they have to mic it for the video?.....a little misleading dont you think?

 

Mic'ing would prove a better representation of sound than the crap assed mic on a camera wouldn't you think.

It's not some kid in his bedroom making a "look at my dickwank video".

 

As well as making a direct recording for MP3 sound bytes and such, no?

Well, I kinda like the 40. But I have no clue about Marshalls other than I know I want one... :-({|=

 

No gigging in my near-future plans, just jamming with some friends. But just in case, would the 40 be a solid amp if a low-level bar gig eventually would come up? Guess I'm looking for an all-round sorta thing that can hold its own if it should come to that. Still on a low level of course.

Usually they use a separate mic. A soundman with a mic on a boom. Unless Jim Marshalls going cheap

on us! lol

 

Okay here goes.

A boom mic was probably uses for the narration. The SM57 was used to control the volume and levels when dialing the amp up and down to make for a proper mix and level of recording.

To make a professional quality video.

 

Pat, you scare me sometimes.

I use a 40 watt amp for mostly jamming with friends and as a "just in case I play somewhere" amp. I've been really pleased with the one I got (Hot Rod Deluxe). In most cases, it's not really a big deal that you can't open it all the way up to 12, you can get plenty of sweet, gainy tones on the second channel without blowing out your windows. Although be honest with yourself, if you're never going to play a gig, do yourself a favor and get a 15 watter or a switchable 15/30 or 15/40 watt amp if you're really, really worried about needing an amp to possibly gig.

 

As for this Haze series, I wasn't incredibly impressed until the guy switched on the chorus + reverb on the Haze 40 and got that really gorgeous gospel clean sound. I thought I was listening to a lost The Wind Cries Mary recording. Other than that, it all sounded like your standard Marshall hard rock tones, although I have to say, the clean channel got some really nice tones with almost no knob wiggling. In the end, I'll probably try it out, but to be honest I didn't go crazy over any of the tones I heard on the second channel on either of the amps. Nothing really exciting or different, imo.

Marshall Haze 15w half-stack pre-order from MF for $799. and full stack $999.

 

Hmmm, that is a pretty good price for that amp. 799 is only about 70 bucks more than I paid for my Hot Rod Deluxe. I wonder what the Haze 40 runs for? GC says $699 for the combo.
