Hi there folks.
I'm currently on the lookout for a Marshall Valve amp but not having any joy. I currently have a Marshall MG15DFX which is alright but jusy sounds very sterile if you know what i mean. This is due to it being a solid state amp with no tonal warmth.
Ideally I would like a 30-40Watt from the late 80's early 90's.
Is anyone selling, or know someone who might be interested in selling?
Thanks for looking.
j

If you want tonal warmth go for a tube amp ;)

You're going from a 15-Watt solid state amp to a intage tube amp? Just grab a Marshall Haze 15W new and you'll be in business. (And warrantied.) If it's not loud enough for you, cab it.
"Take that fucking sign down." -John Frusciante

"Well, it was put to me by "that guy" when I was, like, four. So I went into my parents' record collection and found a rock'n'roll compilation. And when my mom asked if I wanted to move to L.A., I said, "Yeah," because I knew that was where the rock stars were. I was seven. Then when I found punk and listened to the Germs, I started seeing how I was part of this. I remember being out on the baseball field when I was 11, and I felt like such an outsider. Standing there in right field, I started making up an angry punk song in my head, and I went home and wrote, like, 20 songs in a row. I realized it didn't even matter if I knew how to play guitar yet." -John Frusciante

valves are tubes. but i'm pretty sure "valvestate" amps aren't actually tube. kinda confusing.
