lol, no I choose this name because marshalls do kick ***, but I like the Marks just has well if not better!!!

Can Ya tell me what you think of the blue strip? From what I have been reading, it's sopposed to have the most agressive preamp gain?

I remember the time stipe got made up in blue... :lol:

I love my blue striper... Really clean tone, lotsa gain in R2, and of coarse, a ripping lead channel...The only thing I wish for is a better reverb... I think I'll get a Holy grail to remedy that....But tonewise, I get get almost anything.....
ax. :twisted:

Nice setup you got there!! I LOVE mine too!! I set my clean to just a hint of break up (when hit hard). I love my crunchy R2 and set the LEAD to just bit louder and gainier for solos. It's such a great amp. I play Christian, classic rock, and instrumental music (JBeck,Santana,etc), and I couldn't be happier with any other amp. It can be a little bugger to get used to adjusting the tones for all channels, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome. Always remember that even tiny adjustments in the tone controls can have a big effect on your tone. With some controls, going from 6 to 7 is a huge difference. If you find that the volume differences between the clean and R2 channels when switching are too much for you, consider doing the R2 mod. It's posted on this forum somewhere. Real easy to do. Real glad for ya!!
