Freethinker Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Sa WeeeeeeetYa my oldest son ripped it apart as part of his "learning experience" long ago. Now he uses nothing but tubes to play guitar and I had one of his old transistor amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 GOT to love that vintage tone. MMMMMmMMMMM!!!my marshall mode 4 has 2 seperate preamp tubes(i don't know if they're any good or not), but all the rest is solid state. i don't know why they decided to do that, but they did, and it sounds pretty good. i love the clean/crunch amp. but the overdrive amp just pisses me off, i can't stand heavy distortion tone. it's so alchoholic and manly(yes i am a guy, but you get what i mean, eh?) i just overdrive the crunch.

Freethinker Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ya they are pushing "tube sound" while using transistors. Just not the same thing. Driving a tube output stage hard has no transistor equivilent. OK maybe MOSFETS to some extent. And the lack of noise floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 yes! i bought this mode 4 when they first came out. i have progressed a lot since then, and have an ear for tone now. although this is a great amp, it's notttt quite good enough. i'm going to sell it, save up some money, and get an orange half-stack. not quite sure what model yet, but AHHH i love their clean/crunch tones. major tubeness going on there.
