BTW how did you post the pictures? Mine always appear as /img/ tags but no pictures show up. I'll post my rig if I can figure out how to put pictures up.

Daaaammmmnnnn....that's a fine set up. Marshall and a Gibson, it's great. BTW if your going all the way with the amp and guitar i'd get something like a Fulltone Clyde Wah or an RMC. One of the boutique wah pedals would be great to own, i'd get one but I don't have the cash just yet. :p

Yup, maybe looking to mod my wah - my dad used to be an electrical engineer, shouldn't be too much bother for him

^ Same here, my Vox hasn't been used the last few weeks cause of the sound. I'm hoping a Fulltone Pot and new inductor could fix that.

wow, schweet setups guys!

My cab's delivery got delayed until the end of this week

the shop messed the order up and forgot to order it in

But the amp's in ok condition, the covering is pretty frayed around the edges but it still looks schweet

I think it has the stock Mullard valves in it too, which will make them 40 years old

I guess I'll be needing a new set of valves pretty soon and flog the originals on eBay for a small fortune to some anorak collector who won't actually use them

They're probs more brittle than the bones of an elderly 19th century man with ricketts

So today my mum called a couple of music shops today when I was at school, and she managed to find a shop in Glasgow which sold a vintage styled Marshall cab - the handwired 1960ahw. Only problem is, it was priced by the shop at £570 ($1100!!), so she haggled it down to £475 (around $900, still brutal on my wallet ) but it's still a pretty sweet deal, it looks to be an even better cab with better speakers, build quality etc.

So my huge old Plexi is going to finally be wed to a gorgeous and classy cab

Picking it up tomorrow afternoon. Expect long awaited amp pr0n to be posted and maybe some sound clips by the end of the summer

Actually, the shop I ordered the 1960ax cab from has messed me around a lot, first spouting some bullshit, saying they couldn't find the Marshall rep to talk to about the non-sending of the cab to the shop, and then saying Marshall are bringing out a new line of amps and as a result production was held back and realistically I'd be waiting a month for it to arrive. :mad:

How's the amp sound? Does it nail the Zep tone and get that classic sound with your LP?

Nice posters BTW.

Cranked it to about 8 for a couple of seconds here and there, and the sound was just so....*grabs crotch* but I had to turn it down because (a) my house is joined onto another and (b) my acoustic started rattling ominously and I was worried it would fall over

Zeppelin, Cream, Sabbath...you name it!

And it's amazingly responsive too, twiddling about with the treble and presence and it makes my LP sound like a Strat or a Rickenbacker, it's awesome!

Haha thanks! It sound awesome, at the moment I can get an acceptable volume at about 0.75 (not even 1!!!) and running the BB2 on maximum boost I can get a semi-overdriven sound that is really quite nice, sort of mid-60's Pete Townshend or later Beatles style :p

^ Very nice, I want to get a Ceriatone Marshall clone someday. Most likely it'll only be 18 watts though.

I have no idea how they cranked these things to 10 back in the day.

Definately go for it man, Ceriatones are really sweet amps, and 18w is plenty loud for everything!

And how did they crank them? Well Eric, Jimmy and Pete are pretty much totally deaf now, that's how they managed

It's pretty sweet. The main thing is the flexibility. 4 channels, 3 modes per channel, sep eq on each channel. So I've got a channel set up for Acoustic tone, one for kind of a shimmery clean, one for like 70's rock, and one for a more modern sound. On the fly I can kick the fx loop on/off or take any one of my base channels and toggle it (via footswitch) to a higher gain mode. It's great when I don't get confused and accidentalyl hit the wrong button or hit a button when I don't mean to.

Clips! Clips! Clips!

and as a side note, any tips on getting a good smooth Santana tone? I've got the crunchy Sabbath/Zeppelin style sound sorted but I would prefer smoothness rather than crunch. I'm thinking you'd cut the treble of the EQ on the amp and turn up the mids and bass almost full, amirite?

well, you'd want to probably yeah, turn down the treble, definitely turn up the bass and probably the middle. Up the gain as well. I don't know santana very well, I'm just talking about generally smoothing out yoru sound. Keep your tone knobs away from 10 and your volume up. Unfortunately I don't have a good instrument mic and the direct out never sounds as good as a cabinet so new clips aren't going to be forthcoming soon. There's some clips on my porfile page that were almost all recorded with my LP Deluxe, but it was through a L6 toneport, not a real amp.

nah, it's all good man. My other rig is a valvestate, or rather an avt. It's a decent enough amp. It all depends on what you're using it for. I have a little Vox DA5 that I bought to take around with me. Man, it doesn't sound like a 100w head pushing 4 12's but it's nto really supposed to. My biggest gripe with my AVT is that it loses headroom bad around 6 on the master volume. Not really a big deal if you're keeping the volume low.
