Ha you sound like me when I bought a real one in the 80's.is it normal that the brit 800 with the gain maxed got this small amount of gain ?

yes I said that cause I have even a boost activated in this preset and it sounded like my volume knob was at 50%Ha you sound like me when I bought a real one in the 80's.
The original amps don't have a lot of gain by todays standards. Try this. Gain 10, Bass 0, Mid 10, Treble 7-8, Presence 7-8, MV 10. If you feel its flubby, raise the low cut frequency until it tightens up. The flubby low-end is why we used TS9's in front of these amps. You can also raise the Negative Feedback to get some clarity back but then it doesn't sound like an 800.is it normal that the brit 800 with the gain maxed got this small amount of gain ?
If my 2203x is any indication, can confirm. Even with high gain-rated RFT 12ax7’s. HOWEVER, throw an SD-1 in the front and its straight to pound town.Ha you sound like me when I bought a real one in the 80's.
yes, crank the master to 7 and you will have the sound you think about.is it normal that the brit 800 with the gain maxed got this small amount of gain ?
wow thanks for the tip it is 100 time better like this ! I m actually with the les paul and it sound great !yes, crank the master to 7 and you will have the sound you think about.
Exactly. It's a Marshall. Crank it up!yes, crank the master to 7 and you will have the sound you think about.
Back in the 80s when I was around 20 years old, I got a 100w 1959SLP, 4x12 cab and a black Les Paul custom from a guy in trade. I could not get tone from the Plexi I was looking for because I had NO idea what the hell I was doing, and no idea what I had. Living at Mom's in a 10x10 bedroom I could not crank the plexi enough to "get it."is it normal that the brit 800 with the gain maxed got this small amount of gain ?
We've done the high gain chugga chugga comparison, so let's try something a little different. I absolutely love the sound of my tele through a cranked Matchless DC-30. There's a complex overdrive and musical glassy edge to that amp that sounds pretty and powerful at the same time. My Matchless 2x12 ESD cab is in my storage unit at the moment, so I used a Fractal LB-2 load box for the amp. Both the amp and model are using the LB-2 US speaker impedance curve and going through the same IR.
Here's my '93 Sampson era Matchless C-30 head A/B'ed with the Matchbox D-30 model. It's just an amp and a cab, so no additional drives, compressors, or EQs were used.
