new amp SC20h

[Progbusters]

I got a new amp, the marshall sc20h. I got it used and it works fine so far. I didn't grow up in the 80's using Marshalls and JCM's so I don't have experience using this kind of amp but I have had a few one master volume tube amps before, etc etc. I plugged it into my old Orange 112 cabinet.

day 1 impression: not so loud. very trebly. not a lot of gain.
day 2 impression: yes it is loud. the controls really change everything. this is a tweakable amp you can spend all day on it. i'm starting to hear/recognize all the classic tones from songs on the radio and my albums. different guitars all sound different. I have an Orange lunhbox amp, the Jim Root Terror. It sounds like a rockverb. Once the gain goes up all my guitars sound the same for the most part. On the Marshall, they all sound different. which is good.
day 3: tested out my pedals. somehow i don't like my tubescreamers on this amp. All my Boss pedals sound good though. And my DS-1 which I never use, sounds good.
day 4; today or in the near future - i'll be exploring that sweet spot people been talking about. hopefully people don't complain. haha

Ha, when I first read "not so loud", my first thought was "man, something must be wrong with his". Then I got to your day 2 impression!

i loved my jcm800 but it was pretty bright till you got the volume up, plexis can be the same way, especially on the high treble channel. once you get the volume up a bit, they usually fill out and come to life. enjoy the new toy!

i found that i like it main volume cranked and gain just about halfway.

yeah that treble really is sensitive

I have one -but the combo model, I love the AMP but not crazy about the 10" G70 speaker.

-but plugging the SV20 into my 4x12 Greeback or 2x12 V30 cabs was a beautiful thing
