Did someone just put a 20 point knob on it?

no, the gain says that it goes 0-20, but i think it is just for show. it works as normal, but i have the knowledge that it is on 20 while playing :lol:

i saw another pic on the web and that too had a 0-20 gain knob :D

I bought the Come Clarity CD and deear god!!! It sucks, it sounds like the hardcore cr@p being played at Ozzfest all the time. I was extremely dissapointed.

Just listened to all of Come Clarity and frankly I kinda know what you mean.

Songs like Scream and Vacuum are just plain... cr@p =/

i love Scream! kill the unbelievers! :P

my dad and i took my 8100 to bits (well, just took the amp part out) and we fixed the broken speaker jack: it was only a loose dry joint!

so could i plug the two speaker calbes from my MG's speakers into the 8100 now? would it destroy my 8100?

More likely to destroy your MG speaker than the Amp.

why?

I dunno how you would blow an amp using the Output socket :P

You could blow the speaker if the impedence of the amp is above that of the speaker.

the speakers are Minimum 8Ohms each, and the amp is 4Ohms so it should be fine.

One thing I'd say is don't be dissapointed if the amp sounds cr@p, those MG speakers are pretty rubbish, plus being open-backed it won't have a killer bass-response either. Until you get a decent cab and speakers you won't find out how it truly sounds. Again my recommendation is something with V30's. Thomann.de do that Framus 2x12 for £200 or they also do a Harley Benton with V30's for about £130, and its apparently made of 16mm ply so its already better than current Marshall cabs! Either that or you can pick up V30's from Award Session at the mo for £44 each which is an amazing deal. Maybe you could pick up a decent unloaded cab off ebay?

ok. i thought that it wouldn't sound that good, and your right, the bass response sucks :D
I'm seriously considering the Framus, but an unloaded cab would be a great idea. if there were any. i've looked, but can only find ONE 4x12 empty cab. can you find any?

You don't need a 4x12, get a 2x12. Just keep looking on ebay, Marshall 1936 2x12's are always going for cheap on ebay. That's what i got, got myn for about £120 i think.

i know, i meant the only empty cab is a 4x12 which i don't want, and i was asking if he could find any empty 2x12s.
i might get a marshall and upgrade the speakers.... it's a thought...
