Ron, you forgot "tried". [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

The older original Marshall Valvestates kicked ass! The newer ones seem kind of lame. I've got a '92 8240 (2x12 stereo chorus combo) that I bought brand new back in the day, and it's still sounding great and going strong!!

"Its for the lil kids who wanna play SUM 41 and have rich parents."

I guess that makes the rhythm guitarist from Shadows Fall a little kid who wants to play Sum 41 and has rich parents huh. Nothing wrong with Sum 41....

Re: so I tryed that marshall mode four out

"Its" is the posessive form of "it".
"It's" is a contraction of the words "it" and "is.

"It's best feature" would be the same as saying:

"It is best feature"

Which is improper.

In the sentence, "its best feature", the usage was correct.

Stu is correct, as was Ron! You just got schooled, Tekky. How 'bout them apples? [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

A common misconception, I'm afraid.

Dave, I wasn't trying to defend the Mode 4...I've in fact never played a Marshall that I liked. I was defending Sum 41 however. If you want to split hairs, Dave Baskh from Sum 41 uses a Soldano SLO 100 and a Marshall DSL 100 along with a Mode 4, and Deryk Whimbish uses a DSL 100, so that is one Mode 4 in the mix of 4 amps.

Re: so I tryed that marshall mode four out

True. However there must be something familiar about the tone they get on the recording and what they find in the Mode 4. Then again the Mode 4 may sound nothing like their albums. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, Sum 41 aren’t exactly known for their "good tone" and the one thing I don't like about Shadows fall is their tone, so your comment kinda supports the majority that the Mode 4 sucks! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Well that saves me a trip to check it out.

As in: Ron's best feature is the ability to admit if he's wrong.

Re: so I tryed that marshall mode four out

I don't even think the Mode 4 was out when the last Shadows Fall album came out, was it? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: so I tryed that marshall mode four out

I played a mode 4, it seems okay. . . but definatly not worth 1200$ You could get 2 peavey 5150s for that used!!!

I have a triple rectifier, and mine, to me sounds wonderful. I know alot of people do not like them, and I have heard better amps, but mine suits my playing and is good for me.
I also have a Marshall 8040, and it cranks for what it is.
