Alright lads. Just a few questions about Marshalls. Duh [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Right, the other day I was trying a few guitars owt in a guitar shop (nothing special, just a PRS Tremonti SE and some Jackson Rhoads) and I was playing them through a JCM2000 Superlead combo. Now, even though it was at a pretty low volume, it sounded like arse. It really sounded awful. Was this to do with the fact I had f*ck all time to dial in a decent tone or are they just not good at low volumes?
Also, Iced Earth, yeah I know, Larry Grohman custom amp heads etc etc etc, but would I be able to get a similar tone out of my Marshall 8080 valvestate combo? What effects would I need? A set of EMGs? I know Im asking loads etc but Id appreciate the help. And Im asking that last question cos I dont actually have the amp with me so I cant try it (my mates still fixing it).
Thanks in advance.
