Members chris49 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hey guys, so basically at the moment i have a marshall tsl 602. I'm constantly had problems with it, and it goes in and out of the shop quite a lot. The latest problem is something wrong with the sound (doi, lol). The power switch goes on fine, but when pressing the standby switch, there is pop. there is then a low hum coming from the amp. when playing, it sounds very muddy and very undefined, nowhere near as good as it normally does. Does this sound like a problem with the valves? or is it a little bit deeper than that? whatever happens, i'm gonna get it fixed and then sell it probably, so any suggestions for a new amp for between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members timmyfirst Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 if you're looking for similar flexibility but better reliability and higher quality tones then its worth checking out the Laney VC50, its a monster of a combo that'll do pretty much any style of music. I've only ever owned two TSL's, one was the 100w head and i had the 601 combo too, they were both always on the repair desk and compared to other amps of similar value they didnt sound amazing.

Members chris49 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks guys, i've heard nothing but good things about laney. what do you think about their lionheart range? i don't need huge amounts of gain (i know, wth am i doing with a tsl). Also looking at the marshall haze and ma series, what are they like? given the bad experiences i've had buying used, i rather buy new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
