I knew something was up with no new amps in over 5 years Jim's passing and prices and the economy they were going down people like me were buying other brands I could be off though.
The blue channel does a good acdc tones the HDM with my EVH guitar does very good van Halen tones. Bias was really easy with a bias probe and set to 48
Jtm 50, anyway Marshall doesn't have any good designers since Steve Dawson has left 😆. He designed the vintage Modern class 5 ,Hendrix stack, think the Astoria also. Nothing new since the Origin.
I have the 50 watt VM and my newer PRS HRDX20 which is great! I would say its close to the VM on the LDM mode . Basically a JTM and a Super Lead , cranking the master really brings out the gain but its very loud and can still get lower gain tones at low volumes. One of my best amps ever even has...
