Sounds good - very good. Surely this is what Marshall should be making these days?

How versatile is it? Can it only do "Brown Sound" with varying levels of gain?

Try Bogner and Roccaforte.
The Sticky Rebel Yell clip on here is a roccaforte i think.

yea it does a very convincing brown sound..

But is that all it can do?

I just played cosmic girl by jamiroquai and a jazz standard by blue bossa on it pretty convincingly..

the first clip sounded awesome! like you say, it's bright... a bit too bright for my taste
don't have the opportunity to listen to the second clip right now but have you tried to get those 80's thrash metal sounds out of it?

indysmith · « **Reply #24 on:** January 25, 2007, 04:11:41 PM »

the clips are great - i don't think it sounds overly bright at all, although i can appreciate it might do if it werent for the scooping of the mids and treble...
all in all- i want one

Sounds good - better than I thought it would when clean!

Hey nice clips james,glad you like the amp.Did you try the treble thing?

hunter · « **Reply #28 on:** January 25, 2007, 08:26:16 PM »

Cool, really cool. Disagree with the treble, I think it's very balanced, meaty on the rhythms and screaming on the leads.

Awesome how the guitar sings when you bend the notes, that is a lot of fingers going on there, but the amp/pus need to be quality to enhance it.

Congrats to the new gear. Which one is it exactly - model, tubes, color options?

Pics?

well i've disconnected the Private Jacks and just using the Governors on there own and it sounds much more to my tastes..

just got a set of weber beam blockers from my friend thom to try in the cab to tame the speakers a bit..

should be monsterous once it's all done exactly how i like..

i'll post some clips toward the end of next week once my cab is loaded with Governors and V30's X Patterned with Beam Blockers installed.. should be miles better..
