Showing some of the range of gain available between the modes and the boost.

Congratulation's George, it's a Boy ! :D

The Demo guy sounds like he's been practicing some, since the last one. Tell 'm to throw in some nice long spacious open chords too...

Curious. What did you marry this too? ...why ?

Thanks Jimi! It's been a long, cold Winter so I've had lots of time to practice. I've been working on my picking technique a lot. I will make sure to throw in some chords on the next clip.

What do you mean by "marry this too"? Speakers?

The Strymon El Cap is such a perfect companion to this circuit. Never gets in the way but adds such space/depth.

I agree! I usually turn FX off, but I don't mind this. In fact, I miss it when when it's not there.

Got it !
I didn't quite catch this in your vid that you posted several weeks prior. ehh.. You even missed it yourself : "Just realised that I didn;t mention the cab and speakers...Sorry." :lol:
okay Celestion Creamback H's favoring the heavy mag that you like better, and added that you also like the G12M types. ASW Crossads are terrific & G12M Greenbacks sound classic. Assuming that you are referencing your basketweave cab G12M loaded, there.
How about new customers that need a new loaded cabinet for the MP head ?

I see that the footswitch is a 5pin din. Less ¼" holes I would guess.

What an amp, Brother !

Yep, I've been recommending heavy magnets with this amp. Creamback H sound great with it. But, about half of the people are using M's and loving those. M's just have looser bottom and break up sooner.

Had to go 5 pin plug for the 3 buttons. That's what the footswitch comes with.

Glad you like it!

FWIW, I just got mine a week ago and am running it with a current production Marshall 1960A cab that I replaced the G12T75s with G12M25s (Chinese reissues) and that config works very well with this amp. Eventually I'm gonna need a 2x12 or 4x12 with the Creamback Hs. Nothing against the G12Ms and they sound fantastic, but having played through the Creambacks, I find myself a little more partial to the Creamback Hs. Just super impressed by that speaker. :shred:
