Got the Marsha. Awesome amp as promised and a is exactly what I was after...a vintage Marshall with a little more gain on tap and a lot of liquid feel to it.
Been playing through a collection of cab/speaker combinations to see what best suits me and have settled for now on a Mesa Recto cab with 2xV30's and 2xCL80's in an X. Thought the Scumbacks would be the ones, but not. Sounds pretty good on this 74 Marshall with Greenies, but the V30/CL80 set seems to give it the best of both grind and rip.
I has my Marsha set up with nothing to foul up the audio path. Just a BE and HBE inputs and a line out and all else stock. No switching, no post EQ, no fat/sat to fiddle with. Just pure tone. Find the HBE with gain at about noon, Mids around 10:00 and everything else around 3-4:00 to be an awesome setting. Will be gigging Friday night. Marsha will come with me.
Now, if my wife will quit asking me who the fuck Marsha is, it'll be alright!
I am really stoked about this amp. Simple, one-trick set up, big bottom, searing lead tone and a'lot of cut. Quick iphone photo here.
Awesome job Dave!!!!
