Your go to amp

Cranking them is the RIGHT way to use them! They have both been properly serviced, with new caps and grounded three-prong cables, so there's no danger of shock anymore.

From what I remember both of the amps (from what I now know) needed a service and new tubes, along with the proper 3 prong cord. Cheers

Right now, my Marshall MG100HDFX through my 2x12 cab with VHT Chromebacks.

I call that amp head my diamond in the rough. They got a ton of bad rap but I’ve gotten nothing but compliments on my tone and not just from you guys, when I went to do the meet and greet with the production company I was getting a ton of compliments too.

Arm that head with good speakers, take time to dial in your tone. I use the button that supposed to make it emulate the tone of a tube amp and let her rip!

AC-30's are very deceiving amps, mine will keep up pretty steady with a Marshall 1987 50 watter.

We had to keep asking the guy at church that was using an AC30 to turn it down..... which of course got him a bit pouty..... not that I blamed him. The thing sounded awesome. But he was blowing the rest of us off the stage. It got way better when he swapped for the AC15.

Same guy. Funny story. Off topic. Sorry.

This guy is an amazing guitar player. Don’t think there’s anything he can’t do on 6 strings. One morning we were heavy into a song. He slid over next to me. Says into my ear. “I have no idea where we are.... keep playing and I’ll find you.” Which he did. Took him all of maybe 4 bars. Point is. When I’d get lost I’d have to play air guitar till I found them. He’s good enough, he just noodles on the correct chords till he found his spot. Miss playing with that guy.

I do not see me using anything else in the near future. It does everything thing I want and need. Some people will boo hoo the fact of no reverb. I have the Boss FRV-1 pedal so that is not an issue for me.

I have only in the very early 90’s played through one, don’t even remember the model, and the lack of reverb has never been an issue with me hell I turn it off, lol but what I used to jokingly argue with my buddy was the Mesa sounded like my Marshall with a sleeping bag draped over it, we used to argue about VH and Randy Rhodes as well. Cheers

Heck, I don't use the reverb in amps that have it. Just muddies up the sound if you are playing with a bunch of gain.

True my neighbor Frank has a fender twin reissue he plays a very ungainly style of blues with a load of reverb, I brought one of LP’s over one night and let him play a bit with it, and without re arranging his settings I played a bit and could only do slow melodic runs because riffs with the type of music I play came out like you said “mud”. Cheers
