terrorike Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 For Sale! Mighty powerful 50watt russian valve head. Russian valves. Badly brutal tones. lightweight head. unbelievable little box of tricks. Really badly don't want to sell this amp, infact i may not it depends what offers i get. I use a guitar tuned down to f which is nearly bass and this thing will handle anything. its like a stealth sniper when you're not playing and is one of the best amps i've ever owned for recording. Really basic controls so no f***ing around. volume goes up to about 13. This amp was found in the factory in russia where they were made made in about 1990 and never got used until I bought it off ebay. I've had it serviced and everything is fine. not a scratch anywhere. need to know more give me a shout.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've heard this amp in action (with a fair few others) and it was pretty brutal. Also: Doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 these are jmp superlead clones, so get yourself a vintage marshall clone for less money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrorike Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 well, thats gonna help sales. buy a marshall if you want to walk around with a cock in your mouth. sovtek comes with russian valves made in a munitions factory. still, i'd rather have a marshall and make my living rubbing my dad off a tenner at a time.

Mr. Foxen Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think what Mr. Ike might be trying to say, but stumbled over his words somewhat, is: "Marshalls may not generally be considered suitable for Doom, as their components are not up to the specification of Russian military ones, although the circuit design may be similar."

CraigPlaysBass Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Made in a munitions factory? Does that mean it's liable to explode?! At least my 'cheap, nasty' marshall setup won't do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornybank Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Military does not equal musical. By no means. These had a big prob with popping valve taking out transformers... ...and there are NO parts for these... ...but this one is still going, so may be OK.

Does this use especially Russian components, or is it a Marshall clone, and thus use same specced components? And damn, cheap nasty Marshalls explode and die all the time, due to cheap nastyness.

Russian components, not interchangeable stuff. Yeah - cheap Marshall's do... ...which is why I only keep them from JTM45 - JCM800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigPlaysBass Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Well thats a bit of an unfair statistical assumption that all marshalls are liable to explode. Sorry, bit of a pointless hijack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
