DSL50 + Handwired 1960 Prototype cab  :D
Although that JVM is looking too tempting...


Has that got the G12h30's in it? I have been wanting to go and try one of those

I genuinly have no idea  :lol:
But basically it was one of the prototypes Marshall did when they were trying out cosmetics for the Handwired Series. Basically, I assume its the same innards, but the outside isn't quite the same. Either way it kicks serious ass. Very tight, and with the "deep" switch on, its seriously "oomphy".

i'm liking this thread! :) marshall may not be what they used to be, but the vintage modern show they can still get there finger out, and to speak the truth - DSL and JCM900 weren't so bad. i'd love to own a vintage modern... but i'll never sell that JMP.

VM was overshadowed by JVM. I still think the DSL is the better choice if you need a channel switcher, haven't heard a real good JVM clip yet, but quite some great VM and DSL clips.

the VM is quite a nice amp I think the layout confused a few people coz it's essentially a 4 input control setup with blend knobs for the pre-amp sections (old Volume controls), yet it still has a gain control thats and a post pi master volume.

it's something like

Pre Volume, Pre-PI x2 Master Volumes, 1x Post PI Master volume
very strange setup, but I suppose it gets the results? I think the VM is a much nicer amp than the JVM. But I must admit I'd not trade my 800 for one.


As for my guitar it's an early 80s Schecter, the pickups are Mules. it came with single coils but they weren't brilliant.

I quite like this JVM clip - http://www.greazyspoon.net/clips/Black_Nite.mp3

The lead tone is pretty good :)

DSL's are great!

I am looking at the VM with keen eyes though ...

Just curious, why do you have the cab on top of the head? doesn't that cause heat issues?

I'd guess so the cabs higher up so can project the sound a bit better?

I'd imagine because the head is alot wider than the cab and doesn't wanna risk it falling over?
