Ordered a Marsha!

[m3g]

First post on here! Many thanks to Jay Strange, Rob, & Dave for their patience in answering all my silly questions.

I am going with:

100w
BE/HBE
Mod
C45
Sat
Fat
Simple Clean
Loop w/ on/off and level control

can't wait!

Sounds like you got the kitchen sink (literally and figuratively)! Enjoy it when it arrives!

100 watts - why do you need such power? More clean channel headroom maybe?

I did get the 100w to maximize clean headroom. Overall, I am a firm believer that 100w amps just sound bigger/better than their 50w counter parts, and the volume difference is negligible using the same amp settings, cab, speakers, etc. Thats just what my ears tell me.

Congrats Mickey!!
Likewise with the 100 watt preference.
The Marsha master is so good there's no need for attenuator.
I was playing through 4X12 while wife was cooking and kids playin',
my jam room is in the second living room and my house is wide open.
No complaints from wife and she'll bitch when its barely over conversation volume.
She didn't say a word!
Like any amp when ya crank it, its INSANE!
The amp still has great feel and dynamics at low volume, even with the low gain
settings which is rare
Very inspiring amp which gets ya back to writing tunes.

I agree, although I struggled a little deciding on mine, but finally decided to go 100w, on the basis that every other amp I've tried I've prefered it running at 100w.
