whats the best marshall head
Posted by steve on Wed, 01/26/05 - 03:37:48.
this cyber twin sucks.might be nice for recording with some of the effects.but i need my marshalls back i have a 1960av cab new here.whats the best top a 60's 50 watt jcm a late 70's jmp 50 watt or maybe a 100 watt head.i like the 1960b cab i had one the other day nice bass response and clarity.i should get an old fender deluxe reverb also i guess for kicking around.sold a 59 bassman reissue 6 months ago.what about the super reverbs.a guy has a peavey 5150 here for sale what about the new peavey xxx.im going amp crazy guess i dont play enough of them to find the sound im looking. for any input appreciated
Re: whats the best marshall head
i would go for the 50watt head the JCM800 lead, with a 2x12 cab loaded with 1xgreenback celestion and 1xvintage 30 celestion, or vamp it up with the 100watt lead into a 4x12 with 2xgreenbacks and 2x vintage 30's, that combination is vintage valve tone heaven.
Re: whats the best marshall head
thanks lee.is that 2x12 cabinet chassis made by marshall? also one of your last words on the 100 watt amp was "valve" does that refer to solid state amplification?
Re: whats the best marshall head
marshal make a 2x12 (jcm900 1936) with 2xgreens or 2xvintage 30's, you have to buy the odd speaker and install it yourself, the valve thing was merly my impression of that setup, as you know both those amps are all valve, and i think with that setup you get a great classic rock sound.
Re: whats the best marshall head
thanks guys im still wondering if this 130 watt cyber twin head will blow the 4 vintage 30's here(doesnt sound like 130 watts)// wow 25 watt greenbacks w/ vintage 30's on a 100 watt amp talk about pushing air...jimi must have toasted many a speaker
Re: whats the best marshall head
with the 100 watt head i would go for the 4x12 with 2 greens and 2 v30's, this will handle a 100watt head, the vintage 30's are rated at 60watts each and the greens at 25 each, the total power handling will be restricted to 100watts.
Cool
Cool
Re: whats the best marshall head
I think the Marshall JCM800 2210 100 watt dual channel with reverb is one of the best. I also think the Marshall SLP rates up there too.
