So while I’m clearing out some room in my schedule long enough to take the amp into Viking Amplifier’s Eric Summers for repair, I decided to use the Marshall for this gig. Now, this is a lounge so it looks kind of funny going in there with a Marshall. But I use a 2x12 speaker cabinet, not a 4/12 like people are used to seeing. I did hold the volume down a lot (this head is 100 watts) but I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it sounded! I may use it a lot more! I was worried it would be too “rock” sounding but I was wrong. It cleaned up very nicely. Maybe it was the Celesion Vintage 30s Eamon Loftus helped me put in, I donno. I have a Full Mesh gig coming up in October - I’m going to use it for that gig and see if I like it for the radio rock kind of stuff those guys do. I have a feeling I will. I’ll let you’all know.
