Amazing amps
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.
@@zoltansaysBelieve me the Katana does not sound Marshall & too much messing around with the interface. I seen Johan Segeborn demo the head. This thing sounds great.
@@TheCleaner6969 I believe you 100%. I've been through all the modeling stuff (still own some) but decided to stay all analog in the end. Check out the sounds from the Lead12 in this video: czcams.com/video/lUQiatfh1OM/video.htmlsi=QUvLZjw77IN58gm8&t=3103
@@zoltansaysThat really sounds good! Nice playing as well. Big sound for such a small amp. You can't beat it \\m//
@@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?
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.
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
