Members bullhead Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 here's the deal. have a Jose-modded 1959X which i don't really want to part with. problem is I barely get to play it. i've been toying with the idea of getting a Palmer to run into my soundcard or monitor with my headphones, but they're not exactly easy to come by. I've also been thinking of buying a load box and one of the many amp-oriented DI boxes that are out there (i know Radial makes both). I would love to be able to trade the SLP for an Axe-FX, as it would fulfill all my needs (and just seems like fun), but I already have a bunch of pedals and such that I don't really want to part with. I'm sure someone's been in a similar situation. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newholland Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 dude.. buy a smaller amp. why burn a quad of 34's into a resistor? in the end-- your amp'll thank you, and with the money you save not buying a load box and quads of tubes.. you could buy 3 solid state amps in 2 years.

Members xautumnsashesx Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 If you want an Axe-FX, then why not get one? You can always keep your pedals and use them with the Axe-FX, no? Having a big Marshall is only nice of you can utilize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bullhead Posted March 2, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 1) amp already has a PPMV, which works fine, but half of the problem is putting my 2x12 somewhere. even then, setting up mics and stands in the middle of my bedroom is not exactly something i wanna do here. 2) having a 5 watter seems to make it impossible to do anything but play in my house, and that's not what i want.

Members xautumnsashesx Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 $$$$$$$$$$$$$ I was basing my suggestion on the idea that you would sell the super lead, since you mentioned trading it for an Axe-FX. Finding someone to trade with may be difficult, but I would think you could fund an Axe-FX by selling your current amp. I don't see the point of having an awesome amp if it never gets used. Other than that, would it be out of the question to grab an older POD, like 2.0 and some headphones and call that good for playing/recording by yourself in your apartment. It has worked well for me. It not a Marshall, but it gets me close enough for the fact that I just play by myself right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zozobra Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 Power scaling (VVR) is an option too although really its not an amp you can blast at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, you're going to have to explain a bit more what you actually want, because "more open" means "less volume". Less efficient speakers?Iso box?

Unfortunately you can't through a VVR in something that high watts. He could use an attenuator like a THD Hot Plate. I would be more inclined to get something like a Vox AC4 or a Marshall Class 5?

Members Zozobra Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 If you just want to make it less loud then VVR is a pretty good way forward as the power tubes still behave in a similar fashion. Of course the fletcher munsen curve is your enemy as volume changes your perception of certain frequencies quite heavily. Search for VVR and amp and you'll find plenty on it.
