Sign in to disble this ad
... is coming to my place soon! 
What Marshall amp sports 8 (yes EIGHT) 6550/KT88s, 3 ecc83s and 1 ecc81 and pumps out a kidney shattering, spleen melting, 400 watts of pure tube goodness?
THIS!!!!  
I've been hearing a lot of great things about these monsters, and my curiosity got seriously piqued, so I pulled the trigger, and have one on the way. I really can't wait to hear it plugged into my JCM800 Bass cabs!!!! Should give the speakers a good workout! 
Cheers!  |

could you please do some youtube clips of you playing it? solo if at all possible.
i am thinking of getting my son a tube amp and although these are expensive, they are on my list (which also includes an ampeg heritage SVT and a vintage Sunn amp, maybe a 2000s or a model T)

That even puts the Fender Pro 300 to shame.

Can't wait to hear it!

I'm really hoping you don't let that thing go to waste. |

It went a little higher than I'd hoped it would, but was still well under my max (and less than half what a new one would cost me). I really can't wait to get it and fire it up!

The amp will be on it's way by tomorrow, and in my hands by early next week. I can't WAIT!!!
