hello I have had my eyes sent on this half stack since I have been saving up for one and this will be my first one. It seems affordable and was wanted to know if it was a good amp

It seems affordable and was wanted to know if it was a good amp From what I've heard myself and heard from other people it's not a good amp. But as always, there are people who love it. Imho you pay for the Marshall name but don't get a "real" marshall. I'd say don't buy it without comparing it to quite a few other amps. If you still like it after comparing it to other amps (if possible on different days) go ahead and buy it. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Marshall-Limit...394-i1414620.gc Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

QUOTE (megadeth1117 @ Mar 2 2009, 11:26 PM) thanks for the feedback, it is good to hear that it is for band practice as I do play in one and own a separate practice amp Honestly? In that price range all you can barely get a proper 4x12 cab let alone a whole head. So either save up more money (I guess you could get a proper halfstack for like 1000$ used in the us) or go for something smaller.I am going to try it out this weekend but if possible can someone recommend me more stacks in this price range to check out? ...Eventually a Krank Rev. Jr would be something for you. I've ordered one yesterday for myself  But I'm not sure if it is loud enough to play with a band. But I think is. It's at least theoretically more than half as loud as a 100 Watt head. Zakk, You know half stacks make cool furniture too!

QUOTE (Sircraigery @ Mar 3 2009, 12:08 AM) Yeah I agree, but if he's only got $500 to spend and wants to play in a band. He's gonna have to go solid state. It's a good stepper amp, and I sold mine for $50 more than I paid a year later. So it's a pretty safe bet. I think he could get a used tube combo which would be loud enough for 600$. Which might be the better choice.Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

4x12 cab is too big for any club gig, it is only intended for big stages. Unless you are planning to play on medium to large venues, you don't really need it IMO. I suggest you get yourself a nice 2x12 hybrid amp (tube in preamp), and try it like that. It will be a lot more efficient.
I recommend: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ValveK112/ and http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Spider3-150/ Peavey is all tube so it will have a more pleasant sound, but Spider is great for gigs as well, it's pretty loud and it can serve a purpose. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

If it's really just the cab he could buy an extension cabinet. Also there are more and less sensitive speakers. For example, an Eminence Wizard will give you 103 db at one meter distance at one watt. With a delta demon you'll only get 96.9 db at one watt. Which would result (if I got it right
 ) in a one watt amp connected to the wizard being louder than a 50 watt amp connected to the delta demon! In practice it's a bit different though.- Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks
