    Can someone explain the 8 ohms better than 16 ohms thing a bit?

    My tech told me to set my amp to 8 ohms going into my 16 ohm 4x12 many years ago. It does sound a little warmer (better to me) that way but I often wondered if it stresses the amp as mine seems to run pretty hot. The PT gets hot anyway. My OT stays pretty cool.

    I didn't realize I could adjust it to instrument level. How do I know when I'm at that or line level?

    I tried that but it aounds 100% better with the superlead's sound bypassing the amp's preamp section. right now at noon but got similar results at about 9 o'clock. yes sounds amazing! volume level is good too. Not sure because all volume levels are fine, it just seems like the delay repeats...

    It is post loop. yes that's what I do. everything sounds incredible except for when I try my two delays. I read that TC Electronic tone print series pedals are designed to except line level or instrument level so maybe I'll give those a try.

    Any Suggestions for my Rig Set Up?

    Oh I forgot to mention I tried an old ART reverb unit that has options for instrument and line level input & outputs. when I selected instrument level out into my pedals, they sounded great but the volume loss was terrible with an instruemnt level going into the DSL's FX return. The DSL's FX...

    Thanks for replies! My set up actually sounds awesome with the line level (David Bray Line Out Box) from the superlead into the DSL's FX return. The Superlead's tone is not colored or affected in any way going into the DSL's FX return. Just certain effects don't want to work with a line...

    I have a Marshall Superlead that I'm tapping a line out from into some pedals and then into the FX return on my DSL40CR. It;s a wet /dry rig but the "wet" side isn't 100% wet, its got a good mix of the dry sound too. Please look at my diagram. Do I need to use certain types (brands) of...

    Wing C EL34s a big deal?

    Nah, I tried a quad way back around 2009 in my Marshall Superlead & the JJ 6CA7s ( I think they just came out around then) sounded MUCH better.

    Mesa Factory Repair Costs?

    i sent a quad preamp to them for service as i bought it used on ebay. they looked over the entire unit and replaced all 12 preamp tubes and it was under 150 dollars with shipping. i was shocked at the price, turn around time and overall customer service they provided. this was back in the early...

    Anyone feel like they don't gain from using an attenuator?

    I have the opposite experience. I been diming my 100 watt superlead for decades with a Marshall Powerbreak attenuator and all i ever have to do is replace power tubes every 6 months and general maintenance.

    Marshall Super Lead with Mods - Too Bright

    I have a bright 1974 MKII Superlead. If it sounds to bright, I adjust the tone control on the guitar until it sounds good. Done. I wish I would have done that years ago instead of trying to mod the amp / change values to get rid of the brightness. I did, however, remove the 5000pF bright cap...

    Oh the irony... i had to pull out of a local deal for a marshall 1960b because i'm having back spasms.

    yeah I'm 52 and go to the gym regularly. what hurts the most are my joints and tendons, my muscles seem to recover normally.

    Petrucci Bromance

    Here's why. Sex sells, especially in the entertainment business. He does NOT have that either visually or musically. He's the total opposite of what sells, especially for females.
