Effects loop is a must for attenuation using an Alesis Quadraverb for volume control, reverb and delay. I own the 50 watt 1987xl and love it for what it does. My question is simply, what if any difference is there in tone and character between the 50 and 100 watt plexis? Thanks.

I bought it new in 1997 & it has only ever had fairly light-duty living room use. It's been serviced regularly in this time, most recently last month...& always by the authorised marshall guy who collects from the local music shop. This amp sounds amazing...just read the reviews! However, I've decided it's time for me to try a new amp...for new sounds more than anything, which means I've to sell this amp to raise the funds! Trouble is I don't know how much to sell this one for. I've seen the combo versions for sale, but never exactly the same one...plus they never look to be in very good condition & this one is in perfect condtion...just as it was the day it was new! So, I'd appreciate your opinions on the subject of how much this amp is worth...would be of great help. Any questions, just ask. Thanks. ]]> Marshall Amps GoldtopLesPaulClassic http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9599-jtm60-head-matching-2x12-cab.html need info on how to wire JCM800 50w Presence pot http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9598-need-info-how-wire-jcm800-50w-presence-pot.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:31:54 GMT Hi I have 3 different schems x JCM800, all seem original but no one shows the same, how it has to be wired the Presence pot x an early 80s 50w JCM800 combo ??

I bought a tsl100 from a relative and had it shipped 2/3rds of the way across the US months ago by UPS. Very expensive shipping, but when it arrived it seemed very secure... not sure if it was dropped any at all though.

The clean channel sounded amazing from the moment I turned it on, I loved it.

The overdrive channels on the other hand are very fizzy/buzzy and lack sustain no matter the volume and gain settings. I usually keep the VPR on, but the amp doesn't seem to be as loud as I thought a 100watt amp would be when the switch is disengaged. It's loud, but not insanely loud even on 5-7 volume on the clean with gain around 4-5. The other two channels are just weak regardless of volume. I put in some earplugs and cranked it to around 6 vol/7 gain on the lead channel (no VPR) and the tone seems to get a little better, but still my notes decayed rather quickly. And this is the same channel I've seen others in videos rip up some high-gain metal on, just bizarre.

I'm using the 1960a cabinet that came with it. I have it connected with speaker cable via 16ohm impedance amp output to matching input on cab (set to mono).

I've also tested the emulated out into a 4 track recorder and heard the same disappointing tone. I'm not sure if the emulated out uses the power tubes or not, just speculating if maybe the problem is with the the preamp tubes and/or their biasing. The tubes all seem to be glowing.

I'm thinking about taking the amp to a technician soon, but I'd rather first see if there is anything I can do myself. I understand changing preamp tubes isn't that difficult? and from the manual it looks like I may be able to re-bias it as well. Anyone have any thoughts as to what's wrong with my amp?

Thank you for any help. I love this thing and it's beautiful clean and just want to get great tone out of the rest of it. ]]> Marshall Amps Jabphoria http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9597-tsl100-blues.html New marshall jmd:1 http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9596-new-marshall-jmd-1-a.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:26:06 GMT HAVE SOMEBODY HAS HEARD THE NEW MARSHALL JMD:1, 4 CHANNEL,100W, FOOT SWITCH, 4 AMP VALVES, 1 PREAMP VALVE, LOT OF PREAMP SIMULATORS, GREAT SOUND, 2 SPEAKERS (DIFFERENT EACH ONE), SOUNDS GREAT, THESSE ARE SOME PICS.........:wtf: HAVE SOMEBODY HAS HEARD THE NEW MARSHALL JMD:1, 4 CHANNEL,100W, FOOT SWITCH, 4 AMP VALVES, 1 PREAMP VALVE, LOT OF PREAMP SIMULATORS, GREAT SOUND, 2 SPEAKERS (DIFFERENT EACH ONE), SOUNDS GREAT, THESSE ARE SOME PICS.........:wtf:

Subject kind of gives away the question, I was wondering. I do a lot of silent recording through the TSL100's emulated line out.. Is that just a signal coming directly after the preamp section or is it in some kind of way mixed with the power tubes.. If that's even possible??

Does anybody know this? I would guess it's only the preamp section since the PRESENCE knob has no effect on the line out..

Just like to know... ]]> Marshall Amps fortuyn79 http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9585-emulated-line-out-tsl100-just-preamp-tubes-also-powertubes.html Marshall MA series http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9584-marshall-ma-series.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:53:47 GMT Hey,
does anyone have any knowledge of the new Marshall MA series? :)

i'm considering getting a new amp myself in the new year, and have seen some of the demo videos of it on youtube, but wondered if anyone has one or tried one to see if it is worthwhile, as there doesn't appear to be to much info on it at the moment :)

Hope you can help me and thanks for reading. Got a jcm 2205 50w head, love it, but every now and again I will get this harsh trebley/mid tone that sounds like an old radio and all knobs on the front will become totally useless and have no effect when turned except for the master vol. I will usually put it on standby for a min. then click it back on and it will be okay...for a while. It sounds awesome when it's working right, no buzzes and a rich tone...no complaints. And it does have low hours on it despite the year. I have had all tubes redone at least twice over the years and the prob comes back regardless of the full tube exchange. (Btw, it has Drake and an el34 duet and ax7's).Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

I figure I could use a y-plug on the end of the cable to split it from stereo to 2 mono plugs.

But I'm not sure if that will cause a hum from the two jacks sharing the sleeve connection? I realize I could use two seperate single footswitches but I'd rather just have one, and one cable. ]]> Marshall Amps el zilcho http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9553-two-button-footswitch-dsl.html Regarding the Marshall Haze 40 http://www.marshallforum.com/marshall-amps/9534-regarding-marshall-haze-40-a.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:55:42 GMT I listened to it and loved the clean channel, but the distorted channel was absolute crap, IMO.
