Re: Marshall Players READ THIS
Fretburner -
I have a Three Channel Triple, and I love it.
Being a Marshall guy, though, you may well hate it at first - it's a very different beast.
The most important piece of advice I can give you is to read the manual before you try it. I kid you not - if you set it the way you'd set a Marshall (gain all the way up, treble & bass cranked, etc.) to get a "scooped" sound, it will sound like crap - especially with the channels set on "Modern".
If you want a good combination of tones, try using the Red channel on "Modern" for rhythm, and the orange (yellow, whatever, the non-red high-gain channel) on "Vintage" with a gain setting at about 3:00 for leads. YMMV, obviously.
Above all, spend some time playing with it before you make a decision on it - I didn't get mine sounding good to me until about three weeks after I got it. Now I love the damn thing. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
You can also change out the power tubes for EL34s (unless yours ships with them - I've seen some at GC that way recently). They have such a bewildering array of options that you can play with it for a long time.
