Witmer Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ever tried hooking up the boogie via 4 cable method? No' date=' I haven't. Partly because I only have three cables , partly because I've never fully understood the benefits, and partly because I like using some of the amp models as overdrive pedals. Have you? What did you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laaz Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Don't get something based on the power rating that says "earthquake inducing" You got a problem with earthquake inducing ? j/k I almost bought one of the Marshall class 5's until I heard they were having problems with them. Once they get the bugs worked out I will probably get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonAlmighty Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 No' date=' I haven't. Partly because I only have three cables [blush'], partly because I've never fully understood the benefits, and partly because I like using some of the amp models as overdrive pedals. Have you? What did you think? I wired my MESA Mark IIC+ via 4 cable w/ the GT 10 once in a while, kinda cool. It gives you the ability to use the real MESA pre-amp if you needed to. Or.... you can use one or two Amp sims in Dual Mono or real MESA Pre + Sims in combo parallel setting + bunch of effects. But right now just using the Mark II + GT 10 plug in front and using effects only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Natural Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 My baby: A Slivertone 1484 w/ matching 2x12 cab. Cab has Jensen "made in Chicago" blue label speakers .... My first amp was an all-tube Silvertone Twin Twelve combo. It had the best tone. I wish I still had it. Now, I'm playing through a Fender Blues Jr., I've just picked up an old Magnatone PA-297-3, and, I talked a friend out of his Little Lanilei .25 watt. I do still have my little Pignose, too.

Just be wary of some who are trying to offload rattlers for a cheaper price though...though,if you know what you're doing and wanna fix it yourself (Marshall have posted a how-to) go ahead.:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iddude Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Marshall Mode 4 MF350 full stack; a great way to clear the head. I'm 6'6", so when I play standing up, the controls are at face level; perfect! Crunch is a good mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have the Mesa Pre-amp for both pre amp and overdrive instead of anything in the GT. I could live with only one pre-amp, probably, although I'm spoiled by being able to choose one of several. But only one overdrive... couldn't do it. =) Nice collection, by the way. You like your Mark better than the DC, I take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Almost forgot, I also have this old Pignose Crossmix 150. I believe it's from the late 70's or early 80's. It's 75 watts until you use a patch cable to piggyback the clean and dirty channels together, then you get 150watts of Pignose Punch. Plus a pretty good reverb.

saturn Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 My 100W all-tube B52 is in the shop. Hopefully it won't cost me more than I paid for the amp to have it repaired#-o The Valvetronix Vox is OK for practice, but I prefer not to use it for gigs.

Seventh King Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 When playing the larger gigs I still utilize a Marshall JCM 800 with 3 cabs; although I've been also running a clean signal through my old Bassman and A/B-ing them. When recording, I tend to go with smaller amps (e.g. an old Fender Princeton...or an Orange). Oddly enough, I've also got an old solid state Acoustic amp (believe they were made in CA) that really gives a unique voice that sits nice in a mix. I've also got a few old Gibson Scouts that are nice little jammers for the kitchen or in a friend's living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 How do those sound? And about what price are they? I have always kinda been interested by them Which amp - Silvertone 1484, Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue, or the amp in case 1448? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 My first amp was an all-tube Silvertone Twin Twelve combo. It had the best tone. I wish I still had it. The 1484 "Twin Twelve" and 1485 were hidden studio gems until Jack White came out playing 1485s. Great tone. Funny thing is when my last band was hunting for studios in mid 2007 everyone would have at least one old Silvertone tube amp. Most were just 1484 heads run through 4x12s. Now' date=' I'm playing through a Fender Blues Jr., I've just picked up an old Magnatone PA-297-3, and, I talked a friend out of his Little Lanilei .25 watt. [/quote'] You used to see a lot of old Magnatone 2x12 combos around Chicago. Another lesser known vintage amp with killer tube tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
