OK. I stand corrected on that. It still doesn't change the fact that it's a reissue and not new. I dunno. There's nothing wrong with doing something well and sticking to that. But Jim Marshall started by looking at the amps of his time (mainly Fender and Vox) and asking "what if?". It just doesn't s...

The new Jube has easy bias probes... I don't see it here (this image is HUGE, so I didn't img tag it): http://www.marshallamps.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2555X_HeadRear.jpg In that image, the 2555X has neither bias test points or a bias adjust on the back panel. It does have a DI out, which mos...

I'll be curious to see what other amps Marshall comes out with as the year progresses, but I agree....they are a little behind what other manufacturers are doing. It seems that they are relying solely on "Marshall tone" to sell their amps. However there are a lot of really good sounding amps out the...

Ditto. Although I usually wear clothes too...at least for the date part.

The album version hooked me in '78...I was 11.

I hear you. I started mine young. Both my son and my daughter (they're twins) got their first guitars for their third birthday...Ibanez Mikro 3/4 scale's: one righty, one lefty. He nailed the attitude right off the bat...but needed to learn how to play. http://fm2cd.com/images/misc/100_3656.jpg My d...

If the bet is he only drops one...I'll take that. My bet would be at least three.

I always thought Clapton had something to do with SRV dying in that chopper, I am sure he didn't but for years I thought that. Wish him the best of health going forward. It's funny, when SRV died, I remember hearing on the radio (rock station in NY...WNEW I think) that a chopper which might have ha...

I actually sold my MA....not because I didn't like it...I just didn't need 100W of power anymore and I'd rather the amp get played than sit around collecting dust. Anyway - Boost only works on the OD channel. So the fact that's it's not working on the clean channel is normal. I believe all the boost...

My wife's grandfather passed away the morning of Friday 3/14. He was WWII heavy bomber pilot (B-24 Liberator), a TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) Engineer and just a great guy. I had the honor and privilege of not just meeting him, but also getting to know him over his last 10 years on this planet. ...

Sorry. I mis-stated about the power valves...the heaters will still work even if FS1 is blown. So the EL34's will glow even if the power amp is not working. Test the Power Amp Easiest way is to slave the MA to another amp. Basically, connect the send from the other amp to the receive on the MA. Basi...

*** Disclaimer - Valve amps can have lethal voltages stored, even when not plugged in. Drain the filter caps before working on one.
