Marshall 18w handwired clone
I has it!

Wow.

I have on loan (until my big Marshall sells to pay for it) a hand-built clone of a Marshall 18w handwired combo. Jeepers - I don't think I understood dynamics and just how revealing an amp can be of your playing until now!

If you like your sounds cleanish-->gritty (no metal here) then get to try one if you can.

And the trem on it is simply superb.

This might be the perfect blues amp.

i hate that "not suited for metal", metal started on old school marshalls and oranges, even 'modern' bands still use them. meant to put literally everything on 11, not just the volume ; )

yeah, like your Boss MegaDistortion! ; )


I'd love to hear that TimO, a mate of mine has a reissue Marshall "bluesbreaker", but it doesn't really sound anything like the tones i've heard from the genuine article...

Be sensible though - mot of the internet don't class Judas Priest as 'metal' (I do, because I'm sufficiently aged) - metal in popular parl;ance now seems to mean "teh brewtalz!!" - that's what I doesn't do. Thank gawd.

I used to have a mega distortion. Alas, it seems to have gone missing.

Metal, schmetal. Who gives a shit? Play what you want, and if you're any good - someone else will tell you what genre you are. And then someone else will tell you something different, and no-one will be any wiser.

I just remembered what happened to my Mega Distortion. I sold it.
