Paul do you mind elaborating/describing that tone?

Certainly....

Take 4 parts Marshall, add an extra gain stage (about 25-35%+ more gain than a JCM 800), give it a smidge of top end chime of a Vox, push about 5-10% of those Marshall upper mids to lower mids. Give it a real cleans.

The GH100L doesn't fatigue the ears in the treble part of the eq like many amps do, a little softer/more pleasant on the top end. The mids are darker and not so hard hitting as the standard Marshall sound, but still mid strong, just shaped different. Pretty good cleans, not just good for a metal amp, really, really, good cleans for any amp, but no, not that perfect Fender clean.

People who know cleans, know that Fenders are the measuring stick. This is about 85-90% that, where I would put the best Marshall cleans at about 70-75% on that scale. I like my cleans chimey, not flat. Give me cleans with that extra dimension without resulting to effects.


The only downside to the GH100L is that it is a single channel amp, with the extra gain stage footswitchable. Getting a good clean takes a dial turn, not just a bump of a footswitch. But, a single channel amp is a simplier amp. There is something to be said for simplicity.

My Marshall MkIII 2100 stays. The rest can go because they can be replaced easily. The MkIII has been my main amp for years. Even though it's out of commission right now, there's no way I'd let it go.

Did that turn out to be an OT Erik?

You can do that swap when you get time. You have the technology. :)

Yup. The power tranny has a short in it. Output tranny may have a problem too but won't know for sure until a load is put on it. I'm in no hurry right now. Got other things to take care of around the house first.

I've actually run through this scenario....and the wife & kids have been thoroughly briefed: :wink:

Celtic Edana & the Frankinstein 'Bird need to be saved.

Along with being a tonal match made by the Gods (Scott F & Seppo :D ), they have sentimental value as they are custom made pieces FOR ME.

I'd miss everything else, but that stuff can be replaced :beerchug:

So where do the wife & kids rank relative to those two amps?

Re: For the guys who have more than 2 amps...

The only amps I own are the ones I have built. That being said, assuming I couldn't just build a new one of any of them, I'd probably keep the Aislinn 6L6.

First, they'll be eating lead. Nobody's takin a *****n thing. LOL

I've always said that the very last pieces of gear I'd ever let out of my hands is my 94 Bogner Ecstasy and 35th Ann. Les Paul Custom. If I were homeless, I'd be standing on the end of a freeway offramp begging for money, but I'd still own the Bogner and LP Custom. It's the best amp and best guitar I'll ever own. I could always replace strats.

Same amp, but I have both headshells. Metalfront and Cane.

He can have my HRD,Maybe even my 2204 Homebrew. BUT JUST TRY AND TAKE MY PRINCETON REVERB!!:firing: I'll have my Winchester Model 94' 30/30 loaded so fast...It would make Chuck Conners proud.:D CLICK-CLICK
 
Re: For the guys who have more than 2 amps...

He'd leave empty handed, because right now I dont own an amp. All I got right now is a peavey 15 watt solid state! But soon I'll have my own custom amp built. And then I'd grab my fathers hunting rifles... no wait, I'd probably use the black powder gun. That way it forces me to aim better :)
