6100 30th anniversary head..

[skoora]

I had the LM version. Hard pass…

I thought the clean was sterile and the gain channels were weak. So weak that I paid for a real repair shop to inspect it. They said it was working perfectly.

Sold it immediately.

EDIT - I should mention that I was playing JCM 2000 DSL and JCM900 SLX amps right before.

Tech said it was
Original
Equipped
Meh?

this was about 18 yrs ago in my garage in Cali.
my braddah Zach brought his 30th anni half stack and mark III coli 1/2 stack to compare with my mojave coyote and peacemaker and use each in w/d/w experiments.
everything sounded great but that day we were chasing VH with his GMW bumblebee strat with duncan 78s and the Peacemaker was the winner.

this was his shop and he had a lot of really cool marshalls to play including two cameron modded ones, a surreal modded one and his atomica. stiff competition but we both liked the 30th just fine as a raw ganier than 800 marshall crunch tone in his 4 amp switching system. he used to love using it in his Benetar tribute band for those tones.
fwiw it does get very hot.

Get the El 34 purple version. I had one with winged c's,and a tech had gone over the whole amp.Some killer tones in it.
My Gower killer kali 800 kicked it to the curb tho.

Blue.

Vintage Moderns were purple.

Tolex color makes no difference anyway. The black ones are identical. Mine was a black EL34 version, Not the LM.
