I like Crunch channel on Ch 1. hair + gain at 3 o'clock. boost on. bright switch on. back off the density to around noon.. depth @ 10 o'clock

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the current production JVM 410 since they switched to Vietnamese transformers? How about the other full sized Marshall amps. 1959HW, 2203x and 1987X. I have seen the video that Jason from headfirst does that shows the 800 with low plate voltage...

Ron Thal. aka Bumblefoot. His musical vocabulary is sooo vast, coupled with incredible technique and creativity! I loved Early Yngwie too. Saw him in '83 with Alacatrazz. Mind blowing!
1973 Jose Ramirez 1A Brazilian Rosewood. ( with10 year old appraisals in the case, one for 5900 and another for 6k). 20.00 at an estate sale

Soldano X88 R for 400.00
Soldano Slo 100 Rackmount. 900.00. which I then traded for an OG Bogner Fish and early 90's Ibanez JEM...
