Tim Plains Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Just picked up a Marshall 2061x & 2061cx. Kind of funny, the seller lives in Toronto. It took me about an hour to get to his house. I walk in the front door and I see a grey Marshall JCM 2000 with two grey cabinets. It's my old stack. I traded it into a local music store and this guy ended up buying it. What are the odds? I'm liking it so far. I can turn it up full blast, still be in the same room with it and not go deaf. I couldn't do that with the old stack and is the reason I sold it. Not a high gain amp. Just nice old school Marshall crunch.
Jeff-7 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Very nice R9! I get almost as excited seeing others get new gear on here as I do getting my own.
surfpup Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 That's a sweet tone machine there, Tim. You might as well just chuck those other amps now. You will not be needing them.
Riffster Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 If I was to get a Marshall amp that's what I'd buy.
sparky scott 29 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Very nice indeed!! If anybody is interested, I ended up buying the Fender 212R amp. Got it last Wed. I love it!! I think I made the right choice.. The volume of that thing sure is up there, for what I have that is.....
Dub-T-123 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 If I was to get a Marshall amp that's what I'd buy. Same here. That or a Class 5. The Class 5 is obviously a little easier to get.
Tim Plains Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Cheers guys You might as well just chuck those other amps now. Interesting... I've bought and sold a few amps now but I think all these are staying...not including the 600. That thing isn't exactly a tone monster. Same here. That or a Class 5. The Class 5 is obviously a little easier to get. I'm still getting a C5 head. Can't wait for them to come out. Can you adopt me? No Wow, can I come to your house to play? No SSs are better....... Ooops! I got you covered. I also have a Roland Cube. Nice little SS amp.
rocketman Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Sweet! I never played through one, but this certainly shows that it can get some great tones... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzjoY7FfIbE
retrosurfer1959 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Congrats Tim - so what do you plug into first?
WahKeen Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I got you covered. I also have a Roland Cube. Nice little SS amp. I's just kidding, mang (was referring to the other thread).
Bowdiddley Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 One more reason to never leave that room Tim!
Tim Plains Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Congrats Tim - so what do you plug into first? The amp every guy dreams of playing through. The Champ 600, of course. Does it sound better than the Egnator? Well, I did just get it and haven't spent a lot of time with it yet. I guess it also depends on what your definition of "better" is.....................but yes, yes it is. This thing is a one trick pony (well, three tricks). The Rebel 20 is far more versatile.

If only I had a vintage Champ, then I would sell my 600. How do you like the Rebel 20? Do you get a nice Fendery Clean on the clean channel? I was thinking of getting a Rebel 30 or 20 to pair with my JCA20H.
Kenny V Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Great purchase. I am quite impressed and a little envious, well... more like a lot envious, with your music room full of great amps. Enjoy! Kennt V
swleary Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I really like that Marhsall Tim, I can hardly wait for you to be at work tomorrow. Btw I'll say I'm sorry now for the chips on the floor lol
SixxstringKing Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Just curious as to what you payed for the 2061x. Somebody has one for sale here in Winnipeg.
Tim Plains Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 How do you like the Rebel 20? Do you get a nice Fendery Clean on the clean channel? Sounds great. The Rebel 20 only has one channel, though. Yeah, it gets nice sparkly cleans; especially, with the bright switch. I really like that Marhsall Tim, I can hardly wait for you to be at work tomorrow. Btw I'll say I'm sorry now for the chips on the floor lol The joke's on you because I'm not at work today. Just curious as to what you payed for the 2061x. Somebody has one for sale here in Winnipeg. I paid a lot for it. As a fellow Canuck, I'm sure you've realized used music gear costs more here than in the US. The asking price for both was $2,100 and I ended up paying $1,700. I also got the original receipt (he paid $3,000 new) and it still has about six months warranty. Having said that, search eBay.com for completed listings of this head and you'll find three that sold recently in the $850 - $900 range. Use that to your advantage.
LPguitarman Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Nice collection of amps, R9. Congrats on the new Marshall. I would have kept the stack too, LOL.
