It sort of regret getting rid of it, but it was deafening (at 150 watts--6 EL34s!) and it had no real way to get any useful overdrive because the head I owned did not have a master volume control. Fast forward to this week... I got to play through a Music Man HD 130 the other night at the studio. It DOES have a master volume control so I was able to dial in some crunch. Boy-oh-boy, what a great sounding amplifier! The clean was just delicious and the dimed out preamp volume with the master vol. channel was a lot of fun to run through.:fingersx: I mention all this because these amps are still a really good deal on the used market. I noticed they are not quite the same great deal as a few years ago, but still are under-valued in my opinion. I know, this is a MARSHALL forum and the Music Man amps are really the next generation of Fender amps, so they have a strong sonic resemblance to a Fender. However, I really think these are great amps and are well built. They can be tricked out by a good tech and the Music Man amplifiers are very solid road gear from my experience. And now I can say that I am enamored with the Music Man tone again. But me Marshall sound still comes first. :) I used to own a Music Man HD 150.

My band finished our song, and we were done. I quickly flipped my Bugera 1990 amp to standby and then 5 seconds later a kid working as a stage hand, unplugged the amp. The amp was only on standby for about 5 seconds. It is now up until 30 mins ago I did not even touch the amp. I flick on the power switch, and the light is on. I let it sit for about 5 mins, and then i switch it off of standby. There is no sound, no hiss, no nothing. What can this be? I replaced the fuze, but to no avail. The 5881 tubes glow, Im fearing that a power tube has blown. Please help me. Thanks Ok so last night I played the school talent show. My band finished our song, and we were done.

I know alot of guys "look down" on the V-series of crate amps,but i got a "sweet" deal on a brand new in the box V-33H...and the stock "Soveteks" has gotta go! lol!(got plenty of "N.O.S" EL34's&12AX7's.) The booklet that came with it stated that with a "re-tube",the power valves needs to be biased...but i always thought that EL34's were "cathode-based" valve,and did not need biasing.

I've been waiting for these things to appear for more than a year.

Has anyone else played one yet? I am currious on opinions. I only played it through a 4x12 w/ V30's so I couldn't tell how close it was to a VJr. which I play on a set of matching Epi cabs.

If it has the same sound/tone/characteristics as the JR. I am getting it.

Opinions? ]]> Other Amps tarznamps http://www.marshallforum.com/other-amps/8988-epiphone-valve-sr.html
