      Some of the best! I can't stop playing this one along with my Bass 12: czcams.com/video/J3qqjqTUIjo/video.html

    Lead 12s are amazing. 10" greenback makes it even better 👍
    Or of course just bypass it and plug in a quality cab with better speakers 🤣

      Totally agree! I ended up making a new baffle and put a Celestion G12T in it. Now I can really crank it. I can play this thing for hours on end.... :)

    Better then the Boss Katana. I would take this over the Boss any day.

      @TheCleaner6969 I never played a Katana but this little Marshall is a gem. Gives me all the Marshall tones I want at bedroom levels. I can go from Jimi -with a Strat- to Billy to Slash to Edward - with a boost/drive pedal. Prices went up on these, but if you see one for cheap, don't think twice.

      @@TheCleaner6969thanks! It’s a monster. I wish Marshall brought these back. Or someone made a good clone that is readily available. At around $100 these would sell like hotcakes.

    How do you clean the fabric on the cover?

    • @zoltansays
      @zoltansays  Před rokem

      This fabric is indicative of a period in the mid 80's when Marshall used a black dye that would fade to this color. Some people -including myself- like this accidental color combination. I might consider cleaning it though. Will definitely make it into a video if that happens. Thanks for the great question!

    What is the rated wattage? I recently picked up a Danelectro, from the late 90s, and while it’s only rated at 15 watts, it sounds more like 50 watts! These little monsters can really scream.

    • @zoltansays
      @zoltansays  Před 11 měsíci +1

      These are rated at 12 watts. There’s more to perceived volume, like can size etc. probably the biggest is speaker sensitivity. A 3 dB higher sensitivity will double the perceived volume. With an efficient speaker, a 12-watt amp will be way to loud for a ‘bedroom’ situation. :)

      @@zoltansays Thanks! The right match between speaker and amp is critical, the correct impedance and as you point out, speaker sensitivity.

      @@user-qm7nw7vd5s I hear you. I'm planning to use my Bass 12 (same wattage but less gainy) at a gig soon, I think it will be loud enough with our light-hitting drummer. Worst case is I need to mic it.

      Check out my Bass 12. There is some playing at the end of the video. I got it after watching Johan call it the best ever budget SS amp. It did not disappoint... :) czcams.com/video/J3qqjqTUIjo/video.html
