I just pulled the trigger on a JMD 100watt head. Everytime I was doing research on this site, I saw more and more raves about it. Surf, Beck-Ola, and Guitarest, you guys are a bad,bad influence on me. I think we're all equally addicted to TONE!!!!! I went back and forth on whether to get a head and cab, combo, or just the head. With the combo I was thinking of replacing the speakers with Celestions, and figured that wasn't too cost effective. I've read a lot of what the owners here say about the Celestions they are running their JMD through and figure I'll use one of the 4x12's I have now until I pick up a JMD dedicated cab later. I bought new on Musician's Friend, as finding a used one was a fruitless search. Like you guys have said, there's not a lot out there as no one wants to give them up.
Well, that makes three more Marshalls in the last six months. The Class5 which I love, the VM2266 combo which at this point cannot continue living life without, and hopefully I'm totally blown away with the JMD. Looking to get some heavier Marshall tones than the VM provides, although that has become "MY" tone...
Thanks to all who answered my questions, and I'm sure I'll have a hundred more when the head gets here. Also big thanks to Chris George for the Marshall Theatre. Nice to have someone doing demos that can play a variety of styles and sounds and explain everything in a common sense manner. You rock brother....Thanks to all the Marshall family. There are now seven members in my household.....God, I'm a Marshall junkie!!!!!!
