New amp incoming - can you guess? Now with pics on page 2
ThePrettyDamned
Frets: 7484
Managed to snag one in good nick for a good price (well, ish. More than I'd maybe like, but worth it...).
Some clues:
Made in Britain I think... But hard to confirm.
Old. But not necessarily vintage?
I think... No one on here has one.
Most people on here won't like it.
It's a very "me" amp.
Has an effects loop. Forced to engage it otherwise it doesn't work, which is a common fault that should be fixable with some switch cleaner...
May need some caps replacing.
Has a reverb tank.
1x12 celestion. And a very nice speaker it is, too!
Pretty excited about this one. It is, in almost every way, a significant downgrade from my beautiful handwired vox, but it frees up some cash for me and gives me something really quite exciting to play with.

Solid state!
Also good efforts.
Not enough gold.
Apparently well made, but I have never heard one in the flesh sound all that good...
I have tried this amp in a store before and really liked it - but did not buy because "no toobz". Now I am older and wiser, and need to free up some funds!
how about a Marshall 5010 ?
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
Frightfully close.
Imagine a lead 12 with more loud.

Lead 13?

We have our winner!
It's the 1x12 combo with reverb that came a bit later - the Marshall 5100 mosfet reverb. As I understand it, it's the combo version of the head.
Fitted with a celestion g12h-100 which is an awesome speaker. Nowadays you can get the g12k-100 I think, which is a direct replacement.
I played one in a store yonks ago but said "meh, solid state". Then I played the head version in a cash converters and said "meh, too pricey at a whopping £150".
They also go bastard loud if needed.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit hissy from age, so I'll start by cleaning the jacks and testing, and if needed I'll look at recapping it. Hopefully I can get some guidance on here on how to do that without burning down the house
