Marshall B150 Bass Combo

Advantages: Great amps
Disadvantages: None

...in 1962 with the building of the JTM45. A simple combo type amp which was powered by valves. Valves are still the major factor in the deliverance of the smooth Marshall sound today. Design ------ Most of the Marshall amplificcation looks a standard way. This is uniform throughout the range and give the user the feel that he belongs to a much larger family, even if he only owns a little combo. The heads are finished in Black cloth with Grey/White Woven Grilles. The metalwork is all finished in either Brass or Gold with the White Marshall logo in the middle of the speakers. you can normally get 2 types of marshall.

Advantages: Dependable sound and reliability.
Disadvantages: They're huge!

...This is the standard Marshall 4x12", rated at 300W. You cannot get a better looking speaker cab. The Marshall is a classic. The standard version comes in angled (A) or straight (B) formats, which are identical except for their shapes.

Advantages: Huge Sound
Disadvantages: Loss of social life

...This pedal will convert your small combo into a full on marshall stack. No kidding!

By setting a scooped setting the sound is second to none. It features treble, bass and 2 midrange tone controls which gives complete control over the sound. For use in metal playing, sustained power chords or smooth solo sounds I cannot recommend this pedal enough. Brilliant. I wouldn't recommend it to people who are after a less full on distortion as there are better pedals for dealing specifically with slight distortion. But for more full on stuff, buy it!...
