What's Hot

Bit of a long shot, but there was a guy selling a Ceriatone JTM45/100 head for a very good price on the musicradar forum before it went down.  I'm ready for some good old blood expulsion from the ear holes.

    you need a super lead for blood expulsion from the lugholes, 45/100 is only about 80w clean still bloody loud though

    Maybe but what a death it'd be ;)
    You should bi-amp with a Hiwatt Custom 200  lol

    I didn't have the amp the OP wants but I've had a 35w JTM 45 and a coupla Bluesbreakers. Could not get anywhere near cranked live. Too loud unless yer playing an arena!!!

    Lol I seem to prefer high wattage amps even a lower volumes. Would like to give the jtm45/100 circuit a try since so many have said how special it is. I was looking to put a TAD amp kit together but heard about reliability issues with them and tons of hum...

    the 45/100 sounds glorious at low volumes also, imho it's a myth marshall's only sound good cranked.

    Thanks for the offer jd0272, but I have VM combo that I believe is very similar to the jtm45 (and the probably a 45/100 tbh but with less headroom)

    The Marshall VM. I am not sure that there's anything finer. Why not save your cash?

    I'm not sure tbh :) It's very nice and I'm only really learning to use it (preamp controls are very sensitive and easy to get an awful sound out of it) but as is common with the combos I seem to have quite a bit of tube rattle when I open it up....

    Have a look on the Marshall Roadhouse forum. I believe there are some threads that address the tube rattle issue somewhat. I haven't had much hassle dialling it in. I set the detail 1-2 notches above the body and eq to taste - I subsequently found out many others do this too.

    So far I've only really used the low dynamic range but am really happy with the sounds I've been getting. I use it biamped with a Marshall Jubilee (so the mid switch is always on I this config) with a TS for big solos only. Everything else is done with the guitar volume pot. I really like that KT66 raspiness.

    I think the VM will become collectible - did you notice the one on here last week? It sold in no time at all.

    My current gigging amp is an MJW Orion with KT66's, 2-channel with boost based on the JTM45/100 circuits, and I have to say it is AWESOME - superb cleans right through to great raunch. Talk to Martin why don'tcha ?
