Al Heeley Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Not bass but lead - apologies if in the wrong forum. Sadly now up for sale: my Marshall limited edition 30th anniversary amp (6101) plus matching extension cab in blue tolex. [url="http://www.marshallamps.com/heritage/anniversary/30_anniversary.asp"]http://www.marshallamps.com/heritage/anniv...anniversary.asp[/url] A very special amp out of Jim Marshall's stable back in 1992. Powered by 4 x EL34 valves (old Fender stock, sshhh!) and 7 valve pre-amp stage (12AX7) In immaculate condition, limited edition blue tolex with matching 200W rated 6912 cabinet. Features 3 channels, footswitchable via midi: Channel 1: Clean bright gain, something of a first for marshall to deliver such a clear channel Channel 2: Crunch, with 2 toggle switches to run through all the classic Marshall sounds over 30 years, this channel alone has 3 separate gain levels to alter the tone and dynamics of the overdrive. This will give you the characteristic sounds of a JTM45 thru '59SLP to JCM800 to JCM900 amps. Channel 3: Lead, really high gain with gain boost switch. Each channel has its own set of tone controls, bass, mid and treble. Input features High & low compensation to best match the pickups of the guitar used. Channel 1 features a bright and a mid-shift switch Channel 2 has the two overdrive mode buttons A-B and B-C Channel 3 has gain boost and contour switches. Master volume, presence and effeects loop level complete the front panel. Rear panel: Pentode - triode switch plus High - Low power setting, these enable the amp to reduce its power rating from 100W down to 50 or 25W accordingly. Be warned - this little amp is a very loud beasty. 8ohm-4ohm switch for connecting extension cab Damping select - High/Auto/Low DI out with its own trim level Effects send and return sockets with separate trims for channel 1 and 2 send level, also series/parallel switch for FX loop Midi in and footswitch in completes the rear panel. Really a huge amount of features put into this little package, this is a superb amp that I'm not parting with lightly. Included is the 3-channel Marshall channel switch footswitch. All the pots have been serviced recently, a couple of the volume pots were getting a little 'scratchy' which is always the problem when it's not used very regularly. All in all you get a slice of Marshall history in a superbly versatile little amp that packs a huge pwerful punch yet doesn't take up one wall of your room. All the different channel 2 crunch modes are what does it for me, plus you get very close to a fender clean bright tone, and access to the massive lean gain on channel 3. In all these modes there is a transparency to the tone that you only get from really good amps; despite being driven really hard the tone still carries the signature of your own guitar. It is in immaculate condition and sadly never gets played these days. Needs a new loving home. If you need any more opinions about this amazing little amp, have a look through the Harmony central reviews: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp/product/Marshall/6101+30th+Anniversary/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...nniversary/10/1[/url] I'm not sure what this is worth now, it cost me quite a lot of money 12 yeqars ago and I'm very fond of it. Make me a sensible offer if you're interested, I would hope in excess of £750 for the package. Edited February 20, 2009 by Al Heeley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 What a fantastuc amp, our guitarist got the 100 w head and 4x12 new in 1992 and played his 60's Jaguar through it (which cost £650 in 1992!!!), what a sound. If I had the money I would buy this, no hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 The amp has just received a service and health check, pots cleaned, sounding so very, very sweet. It's crushing me to have to sell this but its a lot of money tied up in something that gets sadly little use these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
