Members Tommy Horrible Posted March 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 2100 EL-34s or 5881s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tommy Horrible Posted March 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 That is good to hear I thought mine sounded massive too, until I threw the eq in the loop. Regardless, it was still big and mean without the eq! I was rocking a PRS McCarty with it today and it sounded awesome! The pickups aren't near as hot as the 500T, so I can only imagine the extra crunchiness you are getting... So now that you have peaked my interests, I do believe some clips are in order :poke: Cole Hmmmm, maybe if I can get the wife out of the house tommorow.

Members colejustesen Posted March 11, 2012 Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hmmmm, maybe if I can get the wife out of the house tommorow. I think a trip to the spa might be worth considering... I don't know a woman who would turn it down Don't feel pressed to get it done quickly... I will be here, lurking and waiting patiently Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tommy Horrible Posted March 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 whut? I might have been your buyer, but I want one with el34s. I'm going to dump all my other Marshalls and just have 2 of these. I played one with the 5881s and didn't jive with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Neilrocks25 Posted March 11, 2012 Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 I was just thinking about when I can get another Marshall and then this thread turns up I am kind of looking at a JVM 205h or maybe just get a single channel amps again.. or maybe another DSL????

Members rushtallica Posted March 11, 2012 Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 wouldn't converting it over to 34's be an easy mod? It might be. I'm no techie, but in a Carvin X100B converting to el34's from 6L6's I believe also requires a screen resistor change as well as grounding a pin to socket and changing the bias resistor.

Members vic Posted March 11, 2012 Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 why the {censored} did marshall put these things with 5881's actually i think they didnt have a good supplier at the time but el34's are way better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ManofWar55 Posted March 11, 2012 Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't mean to derail the thread, but what are the differences between Marshalls. What does the 800 do different from the 900? How are the different from the DSL and TSL? Sounds killer though. I may keep an eye out for one!

Members GibsonVMan Posted April 10, 2012 Members Share Posted April 10, 2012 If you are going to own a Marshall JCM900, the SL-X is the amp to own. If you haven't boosted it..do it NAO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warhorse Posted April 10, 2012 Members Share Posted April 10, 2012 Damn, the SL-X beat the {censored} out of the KK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted April 10, 2012 Members Share Posted April 10, 2012 I thought the same thing about the SL-X and the Kerry King model. I would like to see a head to head with the SL-X and its predecessor the MkIII! Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shane159 Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 How does the SL-X compare with OD1 on the JVM??? The JVM seems to have more lows than most of the other Marshall's I have owned. How are the lows on the SL-X?? I had a 4100 and it sounded like a toy compared to my KK 800.

Members ~Abstract~ Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 How are the SLX's midgains and cleans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ej Posted April 11, 2012 Members Share Posted April 11, 2012 How are the SLX's midgains and cleans? This is all JCM900 MkIIIhttp://soundcloud.com/ejendres/remix1 I've heard that the main difference between the MkIII and the SL-X is that the SL-X is darker. I personally haven't played one so I can't say how true that is. I know the cleans aren't perfectly clean, but I think the low gain tone of this amp is sick. Listen around 3:00 to hear only guitar. And then around 3:30 to hear how the amp reacted when he dug in with his picking (i recorded this for a friend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still Marshall bright and present, but in a smoother darker way than the 2203,JVM or DSL. I particularly find the DSL's to be the most overly bright of any marshall I've played.
