Ignore Ryan he doesn't know what he's talking about. Marshalls use diode clipping to produce distortion. Why the hell would someone put that in a tube amp?
If you want something decent get a Soldano instead. Soldano makes high-high-gain amps. But if you want something that has a famous brand... well then you can buy a marshall.
Right now what I have is an indonesia-made 2007 cort viva guitar and no amp or whatever.
KNOWN FOR THEIR DISTORTION?
Distortion produced by diode clipping = SOLID STATE DISTORTION.
--
PS: that also includes most distortion pedals.
uh. marshall amps became known for their distortion far before diode clipping was added. and no, the newer marshalls with the solid state diode in them are definitely NOT solid state distortion. it further increases the already tube overdriven sound with extra distortion akin to adding a distortion pedal.
Are you saying that clipping diode distortion is not solid state distortion? Like, a distortion pedal which is nothing but an op-amp with clipping diodes added, is not solid state distortion?
no i'm saying the newer marshalls distortion doesn't sound like solid state distortion. it sounds like a tube overdrive with some extra distortion. the actual TONE is not solid state by any means. it may have some added distortion by diodes but it's certainly not the dominant factor in tone.

because i seriously like Mustang, it's a very cool guitar. I am considering to buy such but it costs much here (~800e (and apparently it's expensive everywhere)).
(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/23836/hagstrom2up.jpg)hey render that guitar is gorgeous. What is that switch on the right? It looks like a volume pot, but whats all the other stuff? are those indiv button switches or? (i cant see)
i bought it after playing it at my local shop. i was deciding between a strat and a mustang but i ended up getting the mustang. it has a very unique tone to it and I really liked the feel of it.Yeah, i pretty much like Mustangs sound, it sounds gorgeous. Can you get any clean, soft sound out of it besides that honking mustang - sound? Or assuming that if i had such guitar, do i have to change the neck mic?
and i play stuff like rhcp, the mars volta, hendrix, velvet underground, john frusciante, lots of classic rock (led zeppelin :naughty:, cream, pink floyd, the who, etc)
mustangs have amazing cleans. in fact if you really want a more distortion focused guitar i suggest you look elsewhere.Nonono, i mean, it has great cleans, i know. What i tried to ask is that can you get other sound of beside that mustang COUNTRY TWANG. I don't mean any humbucker softness, i mean something less countri-ish.
hey render that guitar is gorgeous. What is that switch on the right? It looks like a volume pot, but whats all the other stuff? are those indiv button switches or? (i cant see)well idk about that one, it's probably like mine but maybe not. I've actually got a hagstrom III and that II is the only one I had on my comp, but I will finally take some pics now!!
Pepoke are you left handed? Have you ever tried to play on a normal guitar with reversed strings like Jimi Hendrix?that's a silly idea
that's a silly idea
Also since my instruments are elsewhere (college, other people's homes etc.) you will have to have internet photos!
Yeah my bass is an Epiphone copy of a Gibson Thunderbird IV.Epiphone Thunderbird (Click to reveal)(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/www.proaudio.com.au/sales/photos/43d4693dace01.jpeg)

Too bad they don't make a lot of ambidexterious guitars. Those corporate pigs are so racist against left-handed people, it's not like you choose to be like that OK?? You're born with this disabilityjesus... don't you realise how much of an idiot you sound...?
