I hear you. I never would’ve had a TSL100 or a JVM if it weren’t for killer deals on used ones.

Well it sounds thick as ****!
Trying to record something tonight, working on getting a decent recorded tone right now.
I'd love to buy new ha ha but if it's not clearly marked way down into my price range, I don't get to buy it. It Sucks being poor. I search and search and search until I get decent quality stuff at middle of the road prices.... thus ... Part of my problem.

Ok here's what I have learned over the years
Buy new
With a warranty
People dont sell great amps or cars because they're great
They sell cuz the fkd up

I may never buy another used amp again. Just going to wait at the end of a production line with a catcher's mitt.

This is the seamy, dark, back-alley side of owning a JCM 2000.

Seriously.... Do I just buy broken amps?.... Is there a cosmic force working against me?
Do the bad Marshalls all end up in my garage?
So many issues with amps lately...I'm turning into a tech over here!
The Reverb doesn't work! I Messaged the guy I bought it from, he claims it worked just fine before he shipped it.....
Had to take it apart... At least I found the issue.
Issue#2. When I switch it to the lead channel, it immediately switches, but I can hear the volume swell up to where it's supposed to be over a short period of let's say 2 seconds. Is that normal? It's like it starts off a few decibels low... I rebiased the "new" Mullard tubes, they we're reading 104 and 84.... So now they're both at 93. Didn't help much if it did
Issue #3. This dang footswitch. When I turn amp on, it's on clean. But before I switch to any other channel, I have to click the clean button again.... Then i can click to the next channel.
If I click back to clean, then I can't switch to another channel again until I click the clean button again...
It is 100% repeatable.
I took the thing apart, someone has been into it, resoldered clean switch....
After putting it back together, it works normally 2 times in 10.... Looked at getting a replacement and those ****ers want 130 bucks! For a footswitch! Ugh.....Last edited by 80's_Metal; 04-20-2019, 11:11 AM.

I noticed there was a bit of hiss... So I removed my whole board. The hiss went away. It's pretty quiet now.
This amp gets some pretty good tones so far, it's not nearly as loud as I was expecting, the mode 4 blows it away in that Dept. (When it runs right?)
I'm going to have to find a decent OD pedal now and give that a shot.
I love tinkering with it so far.Last edited by 80's_Metal; 04-20-2019, 12:01 AM.

Definitely sounds like a Marshall.
