You know --I had an SLX with 6l6 's in it and it was a great sounding amp. I truly regret selling it . I remember buying it out of a newspaper ad for 600 .00 . Head and 1960 cabinet.

Now I'm truly depressed !!!!!

Except for Ed, he just kept adding more gain. Like gravy size amounts of gain lol.

HAAA...So true...More gain and brighter every chance he got. Ears just fried to a crisp.
 
Is good to move forward and find new tools for make new things... he is just 30 years late.

theres nothing cool about less gain ever. it never sounds as good, no one ever plays as well when they are fighting the notes, its just fucking stupid if you ask me. Angus sounded the best with the smooth and liquidy sounding mark racks he used to have

I agree. You want less gain, join a Jazz trio and drink martinis. I play rock and roll.

For rock I agree, for metal too many go overboard. I was watching some BlackBerry Smoke live and I dig his voice and the songs are pretty good but I’m just aching for them to put the Marshall’s (Germino’s) at 6-7, instead of what sounds like 3-4. More rangle, less jangle.

I've turned my gain down on amps to play ACDC, etc and there is this point where you hit a chord and it is loud but lifeless. There is a reason those guys cranked up back in the day. Diming an amp that was meant to be dimed is different than diming a 5150, etc.

Absolutely. It’s like AC/DC in the later 90’s and 2000’s got too clean, All initial hit but no sustain. No balls. Nothing like their previous, glorious filth from the late 70’s through early 80’s. Like Clapton, trying to recreate Cream on Fender combo’s and half the gain. Just No!.

But a lot of metal players put the gain on that 5150 not only high but then boost it…lol

Less than 7% of Marshall sales is anything guitar. They have made most of the money off other products using the "Marshall" name for decades.

Guitar died in 2010. Marshall was beyond all of this long before that. It's business and gains....not gain as in more distortion.
