Marshall SL-X

[Lasse Lammert]

I'm gassing for one, talk me into it or out of it!

Any good metal albums the slx was used on?

 

[miguelrx10d]

I think Carcass used one on their Heartwork album, together with a 5150 if I remember right

Best Marshall for metal imo, other than the 8100.

I had one that was super unreliable so I got rid of it pretty quick, seemed to sound ok though.

 

[StoneLord]

I've got one. Had it for years but haven't plugged it in for a long time. Quite hard to dial in right with the 2 gain stages, but it can sound good.

Had one, loved it. Sad I sold it

 

[MatrixClaw]

Awesome amps. It and the MKIII are the only 900 series worth buying.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

I used to have a mkIII, nice amp.
The slx is the same with one more gain stage, right?

Pretty sure it was just the marshall 900 cab (well, a modified one). the rhythm guitars IIRC are pure 5150

Steer: Yeah, if I remember correctly, almost all of the guitar tracks were done with at least two amps going at once--one of them being a large amp, like the Anniversary [on channel two], a Marshall SL-X 100 watt or the 5150, and then also more often than not, my 10-watt [Marshall] Valvestate micro-stack for extra texture.

man that sig is gross

 

[Empathy]

Hehe how? You gay or something?

Seeing as this is supposed to be a SFW board it kinda shits me off when people put things like that as their sigs when I'm browsing the forum at my day job. Everyone loves a whore, sure, but come on man.

Back on topic: Heard an SL-X in person a few weeks back, it was damn nice but not the best one ever. Honestly prefer the JVM.

SL-X is def one of those amps that needs a boost in front of it IMO. I liked it without one, but preferred it with one. Played live with mine for 2 years and loved it. Think Lasse would make it sound golden. GET ONE!

I tried one when they were released, didn't like it a bit.
But to be honest my ears and taste may have changed a good bit since then
