Power Scaling question

[Ian Price]

Cheers Martin - will do. I guess my options will be dictated by what I can get for the stuff I am selling minus the money I want/need to put to one side for family stuff!

Spot on Dave. See, you do know stuff!  :D

PM me for an exact price Ian, but you're looking at about £1300 ish. I might have a deal for you.

Aw shucks, maybe I do  :lol:

Ian - if the deal is what I think it is, I'd give Martin a shout.  I'd be interested myself if I didn't already have something similar  ;)

My comments to add on power scaling are that it's pretty good, but nothing will ever sound the same as moving a lot of air with a loud as hell speaker and the knock on effect of added sustain from the sound waves hitting your strings
You can get some fantastic sounds with power scaling and I would recommend it to anyone.
I tend to play late on. If I didn't have it, the amp would get used about once a week

Does power scaling sound/work better on smaller wattages than higher one - like would a 45 watt sound better at full tilt but power scaled down sound better than a 100 watt at full tilt scaled down to the same level?  Or would there be no noticeable difference?

I would agree with most of the above - in my opinion you do need a bit of volume to make it sound right but I am talking tv volume. Its not the power scaling but the fact that there isn't enough signal going to the speakers (I think). You get this with pretty much all amps.

Martin built me a JMP50 with PS and it is brilliant. For me what it does best is totally authentic cranked tones  :P
