  1. They can be modded out for people so inclined, the power sections are similar, but it's essentially like having a tube screamer built into the amp. The Silver Jubilees also have clipping diodes as well, and that's one of the best regarded Marshall amps of all time. I have 2 of those, that's what you hear on my recordings typically if its a Marshall. Also of note is there are two different 900 series. The reverbs ( like the 4100) are the ones with diodes, the 2100 SL-X is literally a 2203 JCM 800 with a third preamp tube for more gain. In the context of the times, it was all about hotrodded Marshalls, so that was the thinking. Interestingly enough the 4100 is pretty universally recognized as having maybe the best cleans of any Marshall. The other factor is the speakers and cab are 60% of the sound. If it's not a 4 x 12, none of them are going to really be "that" sound. Combos just won't have the thump. Thanks for coming to my late 80s early 90s Marshall Ted Talk.
  2. They are both solid state rectified. The 900 has clipping diodes in preamp, which was done to satisfy everyone who was hot rodding their 800s for more gain.
  3. Indeed. I bought one drunk about this time last year when I was really nostalgic. My first Marshall way back when was a 900.

  5. We can keep it at my place, I have the space for it. You can put it next to the microwave oven in the custom kitchen.
  6. I'm going to say those estimates are way low except the burst

  8. You are out of your element on this one.
  9. This aggression will not stand
  10. Those look rad as hell
  11. I'm staring at my bassists Peavey Century as we speak. I unabashedly stan Peavey shit. Back in the 70s, the Dynaco preamp/Peavey power amp combo was the hotness, rocked by such luminaries as Tommy Shannon and my pops.
  12. So I went and watch a few minutes to hear what he was playing. Sounds pretty much like classic Strat neck just at first listening. For me, the main point of a Strat is the neck pickup, that's where the sound is. You wouldn't have had Hendrix without it. It is interesting you mention Gilmour though, he was fairly unique in he used a lot of bridge pickup for leads. One thing I think that's worth pointing put is Isbells chord voicings. Like Hendrix, you can see its a lot of inversions and small strings, not full barres. My song in last months group submission was a Strat neck pickup lead fwiw.
  13. Personally I love the Spark for around the house. Convenient size and does all its supposed to.
  14. Shure, Boss etc make wireless, but they aren't bluetooth based. The bluetooth protocol is inherently laggy
  15. Ah, right on. So the other direction than I mistakenly assumed. Yeah, I think just another pair of headphones. I have several pairs of good old Sony 7506s that work pretty well.
  16. I might be misunderstanding what you are asking, where is your phone in this equation? Are you just meaning headphones straight to the Spark over Bluetooth? Bluetooth has big latency issues for IEM, which is why no one really uses is for live work.
  17. Oh no shit. I missed that.
  18. It's really crazy to think its been over 20 years. I remember I was driving down Sunset Blvd when I heard on the radio he had passed, one of those flashbulb memories that you can remember every detail.
