Lol! Well, I never much use it anyway. Just want to get it up and running for kicks. It is a cool reverb - when it works.sizzlingbadger wrote:except when the reverb is broken

The Marshalls are just much more dynamic and snarly in the rock department...they just have the sound. The rockerverb is much smoother for compressed sounds I guess.
I don't see why the vintage modern are so good... i mean... there are vintage marshalls available, why do you wanna buy a vintage modern? I would get a JCM800/Plexi if i'm into dynamics. The VM don't get such good reviews in guitar player forums...Wendigo wrote:I think I've agreed with you before on this topic, but since I have A/B'd mine with my Marshall, I have to say the Orange sound is totally lacking in many areas (it's still a phenomenal amp though).

I definitely thought there was a consensus. The TH30 is like Fine China for your ears.Surgeon wrote:I thought it was agreed a while ago that the TH30 was the best amp ever...no?
No, my 'Marshall' is definitely the best amp ever.Surgeon wrote:I thought it was agreed a while ago that the TH30 was the best amp ever...no?
Well it's not the same as vintage amps. The JTM45 which it's loosely based on only does mild crunch. The VM adds a footswitchable gain stage, and also allows you to adjust the preamp gain for 2 separate frequency bands. This let's you adjust the gain to match the guitar you're playing exactly or just dial in any number of possible tones in the preamp. It uses KT66 tubes which have a very classic "sag" and bite at the same time. As far as reviews go, I've only seen positive ones with most people saying it may be one of the best Marshalls ever made, being beating possibly only by the Silver Jubilees...to each his own of course, but I suggest you try plaing one through a good cab sometime.TESLA_EL34 wrote:I don't see why the vintage modern are so good... i mean... there are vintage marshalls available, why do you wanna buy a vintage modern?
