nah. I don't think it will warp your neck since the difference in gauge is so small.

But it may affect your intonation...

Hi, I've got a question for anyone who's familiar with the Marshall AVT series.

I tested a Marshall AVT150 1x12 combo in Bentley yesterday (together with a fellow co-conspirator from the Sanctuary ). Surprisingly, when I checked the Marshall website, they don't have a AVT150 1x12 combo listed, only an AVT150 Tribute head (which I also saw in Bentley).

I also saw the AVT Tribute 20w & 100w combos and the AVT Tribute 150w head at Bentley.

Has Marshall discontinued the AVT150 combo? Come to think of it, the other AVTs in Bentley had a little plaque saying "AVT Tribute" (just like in the Marshall website) except for the AVT150...

Thanks in advance...

EDIT: Oooh, and the Marshall logo on the AVT Tributes (20w, 100w, and the 150w head) in Bentley were a bronzey colour whereas the AVT 150 Combo was a pure white...

Hehe... thanks for the prompt reply, Mr Marshalltrix!

Gargh! I shoulda tested the AVT100 Tribute too. Guy there said that it was the same as the AVT150 but with less effects. I tried the AVT Tribute 20w but that really really svcked b@lls...

Eh, yours is the JCM or the JVM? Combo or stack mou?

EDIT: Erm, just wondering if you know what's the difference between JVM and JCM... they're way over my budget but I'm kinda curious...

Ah... then what's the lowdown on the DSL vs TSL?

Seriously, the array of amps that Marshall has is ...

And the price...

Grrrargh! What really annoys me is that I demou-ed EQ's old AVT150 and the gain was bloody killer. Chugga-chugga-chuggga all the way... the "newer" AVT150 in Bentley at max gain was equivalent to like half gain on EQ's old AVT150... And I tested the AVT150 in Bentley through a DKMG with 81/85!

...seriously GASsing mou... need to rob bank mou... blow up ATM downstairs in Courts Mammoth, then go up and buy JCM mou...

Ok, that's it. I've got it all sorted out.

Blacktrix will go inside Bentley and distract the people there on the pretense of testing out drumsets, new amps etc.

Headhunter7 will wait outside the building in the designated getaway-mobile, preferrably something with a lot of trunk space.... how bout we go carjack a Tuareg on the way there?

Then Enteryourusername and whoever else wants a cut and me can go inside and sapu everything.

Valkyrie will be on standby with his K7 to "Blind" anyone who tries to stop us. And then we'll all follow the valkyrie to the getaway-mobile.

Oh yeah, once we sapu everything from the shop, we'll drop off the keys with Everdying.

Plan aborted. Co-conspirator Enteryourusername was too busy learning how to shred at MusicMaster.
To quote Enteryourusername, "No need break in one. Once Gapnap teach me how to play literally killer arpeggios, I'll just go there to test guitar and watch everyone drop dead. It's pretty amazing."


Err... just another question, Mr Marshalltrix... what in Odin's name are Groove Power tubes? For the power or preamp? EL34 ke, 6L6 ke, AvX7 ke?

EDIT: the 6550 you wanna get are EL34 or 6L6?

EDIT EDIT: Don't worry, I googled Groove Tubes. You're looking at 6L6s right? Does it make the gain more brutal sounding, or does it give more gain or both?

Ah... originally based on the 6L6 right? (Fuh, the wonders of wikipedia! )

Why lah? Why not a 6L6?

EDIT:

Oooh, wanted to ask you. Yours is 60W right? Is it friggin' loud? I'm kinda looking at a DSL401 (40W) and I'm kinda scared I gotta blast before it sounds alright....

Oh... amp I'm about to test comes with Groove Tube Gold series... Slovakian 6L6 if I'm not mistaken... sh!t. I'm damn n00b with all this tube crap.

...more like just damn n00b when it comes to amps. and guitars. gargh!


Oh yeah, here's something for Valkyrie:



If you're using a pick, pick the notes on the 5th string and use your other right hand finger (middle, ring or pinky) to pluck the 3rd string.

Actually it depends on how what kind of effect you're trying to achieve. If you want the notes on both strings to articulate clearly, then pick the lower string and pluck the higher string.

If you want more of a "chord" sound, then mute the 4th string and strum it like Blacktrix suggested.

Wah... why like that one?! I just picked mine up today... sau-lan...

Well, you have to know the proper mantra to summon them. Make sure you've got a proper Circle of Protection drawn to keep them bound. Oh yeah, you might want to check with the National Fatwa Council. Ghost notes may have been banned already.







...seriously... erm, I think you don't play them (i.e. don't pick them). They're supposed to be a holdover from the last note... so just sustain them.

Or are those grace notes?

Nah, got it second-hand from a guy who got from Bentley early this year. He paid about 3.8k after discount IIRC...

Nope.. I think I saw a JVM 1x12 for about RM5k ... DSL 1x12 probably around 4k... But yeah, the 2x12 combos would be 6k+...


Well, guess you can try lifting the fretting hand just a bit when you play it? ...at least that's what Wikipedia suggests... here.

Blacktrix, thanks! It's a blast!

yeah... just dropped by Bents. DsL401 is list rm51xx. jVM 1x12 is RM7k... holy crap!

...and GrooveTube 6L6s are 450 for 4. Not bad since MSRP is USD45 per tube...

D@mn lucked out with the DSL... the seller's thread (mjj2332) got buried in the Trade Zone since June this year. I think he's planning on upgrading to an ENGL.... and a J.custom.

...stuck with my GT8 for added gain. Just bought some extra cables to go 4CM... one thing I sau-lan is I only got 2 channels, and my OD1 can't cut it for the \m/.

CrazyChris: Couldn't find it on the website. Plus, I'm sure the JVM 2x12 would've been waaaaaaay over my budget. Plus plus, no space for 2x12 lah! Plus plus subtract multiply, 40w also I'm cranking loud. Any bigger and I'd get a cease and desist letter from my neighbours after a week!

Wei, delay in the front strange mou... don't tell me your's comes with a parallel FX loop too?

On a side note, finally realized that the cab/mic sims on the GT8 sounds like crap through the amp. Now I just have to crack my head on how to get the levels to match...

Gapnap... Gapnap... sigh...

...don't tell me he's your roadie too? You do know there are laws against indentured servitude right?



Oi! Haram!

Everyone knows it's not a lifestyle, it's a chosen way of life!


You're very brave!

It's a brave thing to do in a new world. Could be a matter of life and death...

That's coz Dead Eye see no present.

How-e bout-e a def-e notte?

Arpeggios From Hell you blasphemer!

That ain't fat you're seeing, that's skill.

Happy new year pengebass-pengebass!

...but what he sees is a different thing altogether!
