Re: And the BIG news from Marshall

The pricing looks like it will be taking over for the MG range...

I hope they do better than that Line 6 Bluetooth combo, whatever it was called.

and they were referring to...

Marshall CODE website said:
Designed to offer "authentic modelling" of classic and contemporary Marshall tones via Marshall-Softube (MST) modelling, as well as "professional quality" effects, CODE offers 14 preamps, four power amps and eight speaker cabinets.

CODE's MST preamps include JTM45 2245, 1962 Bluesbreaker, 1959SLP Plexi, JCM800 2203, JCM2555 Silver Jubilee, JCM2000 DSL100, JVM410H and more, while power amp voicings on offer are EL34, 5881, EL84 & 6L6 – there's a selection of speaker cabs, too: 1960, 1960V, 1960AX, 1936V, 1912, 1974X and more.

The MAP on the flagship amp goes for just over $400 USD

I was expecting something more exciting. *sigh* All right, what does it sound like?

I swear, if you want a kickass tube Marshall, just go buy a stock 2204 half-stack or a Friedman if you want the modern amenities.
 
Re: And the BIG news from Marshall

dang total let down. Didn't they already do this modeling stuff with the JMD-1?

Yeah, and it disappeared like a fart in the wind.

They could've done a modern take on a 2204 with a clean channel and a boosted gain stage, but noooooo....
 
Re: And the BIG news from Marshall

this is.... boring. How many times must we try to replicate the sound of a loud clean tube amp being overdriven...only to try to reproduce it at bedroom levels..?
 
Re: And the BIG news from Marshall

SO MANY AMPS AND EFFECTS IN ONE!!! ADVANCED DIGITAL MODELING SIMULATOR!!! THE FUTURE IS HERE!!!

Because unfortunately, thats the only way ppl like me will ever be able to obtain those kinds of tones
 
Re: And the BIG news from Marshall

Im a tube snob. But I am interested. I thought that as far as digital goes the JMD was pretty good.

Ill give it a listen before I damn or praise it.
 
Re: And the BIG news from Marshall

With all the money you would spend chasing your tail after being displeased with modelers over and over and buying more and more gear to try and make them sound how you want, you're better off biding your time and hitting up the used market or looking for specials on a really good tube amp and start from there to make your own sound. A Mesa or a Fryette will always trump the latest digital stuff, maybe not for direct recording but when a good engineer captures the sound or you learn to do it yourself, you've got it made. I can understand something like an Atomic Amplifier just because of how portable it is for how good it sounds but a modelling amp head? I don't see the point.

Theres a mini Jubile 20 watt el34 head and combo coming pics on the Marshall board
 
Re: And the BIG news from Marshall

Could be good but I'll stick with my 800.

I'm more interested in the Petrucci Boogie.
