Hi to everyone, glad to have found these forums. I just purchased a new MA 50 head to go with a 1960 cab. Been playing since the 80's and use to have a jcm 800 back in the day but got rid of everything back in the 90's. Got the urge recently to start playing again and had been trying to decide what marshall to go with, was gonna go with a used dsl (due to money available) but a local music store was going out of business and i snagged this MA head for 500 $, couldnt pass it up, it was the floor model, its not a re-voiced one but after reading lots of reviews, i think this amp is getting some bad reviews thats not entirely true.
I am running a transtube od booster in front and it does make a big difference, was thinking about throwing in some tung re-issues also, but all in all, bang for the buck, this amp isnt bad at all. Only thing im not sure of, is my reverb doesnt seem to be working at all, dunno wth is going on with it since this was a floor model..
anyway, will be looking forward for post's here as it doesnt seem we are getting much love over on the marshall forums
