Members mda96bjh Posted August 30, 2007 Members Share Posted August 30, 2007 Right then I play EMG 81/85 pup guitars through a marshall MG50 dfx The OD channel gives quite a lot of crunch but seems to lack depth. Distortion boxes through the clean channel sound a bit too crisp and i cannot seem to get the metal sound i want.....which is plenty of meat on the power chords but retaining the clarity for slower work....(think slayer: seasons in the abyss) Thought i might try a valve amp to see if i could get the sound i want. I was looking at the marshall JCM800 tsl amps....would these be any better?? I cannot afford any of those mesa boogies i see....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Astynax Posted August 31, 2007 Members Share Posted August 31, 2007 If you're in the UK, I would definitely recommend a Laney GH or VH series amp - awesome tone for the money over here. Failing that, Marshall DSLs would fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members platinum Posted August 31, 2007 Members Share Posted August 31, 2007 I love my Laney, the thing's great and It's pretty cheap too. IMO it slayed the TSL100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gt_jumper Posted August 31, 2007 Members Share Posted August 31, 2007 I have he valve king head too. with SD jb/59 combo its a very crisp sound but get rid of the {censored} valves in it. I replaced my preamp valves with zovtek and whoa...what a difference!!! I only run the distortion on about 5-6 gain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
