Let's play "Guess The Amp"!

[Mattayus]

Guess what amp I used for this clip and you can have it for £50

 

[ahjteam]

microcube?

 

[InAbsentia_]

A sim? Judging from the price you'd 'sell' it at.

 

[AshesOfTheWake]

Hughes & Kettner TriAmp MK II

 

[laszlozsolt82]

some free VST ampsim i guess! Le456 maybe Legion?

 

[Mattayus]

No not a sim, it's an actual amp. Nobody's right so far. A few more guesses them I'll just tell you cos... well... it'll get boring after a while, let's face it...

 

[laszlozsolt82]

This?

 

[Mattayus]

Nearly, but not quite that small.

 

[abigor731]

for £50?
line 6 spider?
marshall mg?

 

[if6was9]

My guess is an MG, probably the MG50 dfx that every shit young band bring in to the venue I work in.

 

[Mattayus]

Close, but smaller

 

[guitarklown]

Oh the anticipation! I'll randomly say Vypyr 15 for no reason.

 

[Mattayus]

Yeah, fuck this, it's getting silly now. It's the Marshall MG15CDR.

This beast!

Got given it yesterday cause my sister-in-law was moving out and her bf was getting rid of junk. I said I'd take it to sell on for him, and figured I'd dick around with it for a bit first!

Cannot believe people thought it was an amp sim.......it sounds way too shitty to be an amp sim
Were you using any pedals in front of it (Tube Screamer perhaps)?

Dude that's nothing. People on other forums were guessing things like JCM800 and 6505 n shit

It's completely unboosted, just pure raw power of 15watts! ROAR!!

 

[guitarguru777]

It honestly sounds pretty damn good for what it is. Before I looked I was thinking a Line6 spider of some sort. But seriously its not that bad.

Did you have to do much post processing on it?

 

[BenoA]

Did you mic the lil' Marshall or use the amp output with speaker sim?

Well, to be true, Mattayus, your recording sounds better than a bunch of clips we can hear sometimes on other forums!

I had done a few years back a quick recording of an idea for an ex-band using my son's Marshall MG10CD (similar to your amp but smaller), at that time I had used the phone output with emulated speaker sim. My playing/recording talents are less than yours but here is my clip:

Sounds more like a can of bees but does the job.

Geezus, you'd think with how many modern metal records there are out there, people would know what a 5150 sounds like by now
And damn, I gotta say, for being unboosted, it's better than I expected

 

[InAbsentia_]

This doesn't sound even close to bad coming from a Marshall MG15CDR

 

[DEFIED]

I love this little guy amp, it's my bedroom rig! hehe.
