I used to play the MG100 when we were between rehearsal-places(what's the eng. word for it) and we rented an all equipped room and in my opinion it's not good at all, it sounded terrible. And to be honest, it made rehearsing a lot less fun.
And I mean, if you're getting that guitar, which for sure is great, you should probably invest in an amp to match. -------------------- My bands homepage

Thank you for your quick answer, MickeM. Which amp would you recommend? I have got this head - H&K - with this cabinet - Fame - it's got Vintage 30's. The H&K amp is also available as a 50W or 100W combo. You know, we (tha band) played a heavy tune last monday (Dream Theater - These Walls) and I cut the mids for the heavy parts and my mates just dropped their chins... not because of my playing but the tone was soooo heavy. And I agree of course :-) The mastervolume was only up to between 1 and 2 and still loud enough for rehearsing. I'm getting more and more fond of this Switchblade amp the more I use it. But as you see, it's not for bedroom playing. EDIT: I saw you edited your post while I was writing. I don't know about Marshall... The DSL maybe. I used to be into Marshall myself but lately I don't know... I'd choose my H&K again or en ENGL Powerball for loud playing.

And about the H&K Switchblade , if your preferences are Marshall I havn't been able to get the real Marshall brown sound out of the H&K. But for me it's good enough... I havn't pushed the valves either for that matter so I don't know if that would get me closer.

A few minutes ago, I found this amp: Marshall MG-100DFX. Has somebody used it already? What is it like?
Edit: And this one: Marshall AVT-150HX ? This post has been edited by Tolek: Apr 2 2007, 08:37 PM |

Hey, Rvddps! Thank you, too, for your answer. Now, I have another problem concerning my vocabulary. :S What is are the pups, the evos and I don´t know what the Edge III (a humbucker probably?) and an OFR. It was great if you, or someone else, explain it. I guess the AVT X150 is rather good, the AVX got a preamp valve which is positive Don't know if you're looking for the combo or a head in specific since you linked to one. Perhaps this one, AVT50X? It will work for both bedroom playing and if you're in a band. If I remember right there are models for (in the AVX series i.e.) 50W, 100W and a 2x50W (or was it 2x75W?) pups = pickups Evos = DiMarzio Evolution pups Edge III = An Ibanes Floyd Rose licenced bridge OFR = Original Floyd Rose (I assume) EDIT: Hmmm... I think I maybe could use the AVT100 myself. Good price, preamp valve, good enough. :-) This post has been edited by MickeM: Apr 2 2007, 10:35 PM -------------------- My bands homepage
