If it comes with a certificate that it was used as a prop by the houseband in a Battlestar galactica episode!

It was one of the first things I saw! I picked it up and I swear it weighed 20lbs. And they wanted something like $1200. I put it right back, obviously.

(It played surprisingly well, though.)

… it sounds killer through the right speaker cabinet. …

A Mode 4 cabinet with G12K-85s is my favorite.

I meant to ask @mbenigni , what's with the sudden urge for an amp? Not that I'm one to argue against more gear just curious

Totally fair question since I have no practical need at the moment. But… I saw a local Sabbath tribute recently, and the guitars sounded incredible. The guitarist was running a JCM2000, and when I found out something as similar as the DSL100H/HR could be had so cheaply, I just couldn’t get it out of my head. Stupid FOMO/ GAS, basically.

IMO, a 100W Marshall through a 412 is a rite of passage! I even looked it up...

Rite Of Passage (noun) - a ceremony or event marking an important stage in someone's life, especially birth, puberty, marriage, playing a 100w Marshall with a 412, and death.

Nice! I would LOVE to stop there one day. Did you play through that teal TC100? That thing definitely has a look. I might be inclinded to roll the dice on the DSLH and return the MF one with a new, different noise. Haggle that price down a bit if you can but it seems nicely priced where it is?

I didn’t even see the TC100. Will keep an eye out when I go back today. (But upselling to a TC100 is definitely out of the question LOL.)

I can't see how you missed it

Good luck on your return visit!

 

[Whizzinby]

So what had happened? Keeping it, or 3rd times the charm on a return?

More importantly, have you had GAMANDA shitcanned yet for crimes against humanity?

I saw it this morning but hadn’t had a chance to post. (Been driving all day.) OMG I love it…

Still up in the air with the HR. I’ll post all the minutiae for anyone who’s still curious tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I now also have an H. Things are getting out of hand considering I’m “not a Marshall guy.”

BTW, it took me a while to get my 100H dialed in with decent tones. What I found was that the tone stack seems to take away more than add to when you turn the dials. Don't be afraid to dime everything and work backwards if you are not finding great tones in it. I can dial it in one way and tone sounds towards a modern JCM800 and another way towards a Plexi-like tone, especially with a LP with Classic 57's or other PAF style PU's.

I bought an 100H recently. Then my friend’s JCM2000 blew up so i sold it to him. I regret selling it but it helped him out. He actually plays out.

That's good Mojo!! These show up all the time in my area in that $400-$600 range, you will find another pretty quick if you want to replace it.

I kinda do want to replace it. Every time i see my friend he says “that’s my sound”.

I had a PRS HDRX20 that I sold to a different friend. He tells me the same thing. Apparently, I’m a foster home for amps and a match maker for players and tones.

Care to share any of your settings?

You know, just in case one finds himself at one's local GC, trying out said amplifier, because one needs an amp . . .
