New Marshall

So … this weekend I went out and did something that almost every guitar player wants to do at least once in his/her life … buy a Marshall!! Mine's not one of those behemoth amplifiers seen as walls behind our guitar gods on stage … mine's a 30 watt combo … a Marshall MG 30 DFX …

All that talk about the "distinctive Marshall sound" you keep hearing about … guess what … its all true. This thing is really far out!! You'll be surprised how silent the Marshall is even at high volumes! Also, if you thought 30 watts is not loud enough, it is amazing the kinds of decibels you can generate with 30 watts!! I think I can level the block and all its gullies with it!! The digital effects may not impress someone coming out of digital multi-effect processors, since the Marshall MG 30 DFX does not (and I haven't gone through the forums about this) support concurrent effects. But independently, the FX are great, though I miss the discrete dial for the digital effects on the amp. You'll never know when you went from a high reverb to a low delay, a high delay to a low chorus and a high chorus to a low flanger … sigh! Crunch-wise, thoroughly satisfying for me!! I need to sit down with this and both my instruments (Bloodiness is ill with viral … must take it to the "doctor") and experiment and uncover tones that I like … and maybe some new ones I never knew Id like!!

All and all … fantastic amplifier, love playing it, and I think the digital processors can take a well deserved break for a while! Later on, I shall try my hand at using them along with the Marshall …

And here is a pic …
