Fecking Marshall

Post by Thom »

Every time I enquire, the response from Marshall is that there's a delay on my JVM delivery time as they struggle to cope with their backlog of orders.
:( Another 2 weeks apparently.
I understand that they can only be as quick as they can, so I'm not annoyed with them about that, but it's frustrating not getting a realistic estimate from them and having had the date change 4 times now.

That sucks dude - I can't believe how much they're struggling to turn these things out - the demand must be huge.

I hope that this really is 2 weeks and that you get it soon. You must be getting really fed up by now. Keep the faith and enjoy rocking the Orange, you're a lucky man - remember? ;-)

Haha yeah I'm not complaining really!
But you're right, the demand must be massive.
I truly hope it's 2 weeks as we're heading to the studio at the end of the month and I'd really like to have the opportunity to use it.

Serious engineering is involved though.

Another cab would be cool - but would do my head and back in for gigs!
That tonebone is £225...

Hundred cheaper, stereo cab. Not as cool as the Orange cab you've got though.

Has your orange got stereo inputs? You could have a speaker for the JVM and one for the Rockerverb...

wow. it seems Orange cabs only have a single 1/4" mono input @ 16 ohms. That's terrible - for nearly £400 you should be able to run it stereo @ 8 ohms a side or mono @ 16 ohms.

your pain is shared here. i was pretty annoyed at the fact that NOBODY in my region had them in stock except for mail order. i spent two weeks trying to just be in the same room with one of these amps and finally just took a bit of a chance. good news is i wasn't disappointed; you won't be either. hang in there!

It's the reviews that yourself and Mike have given that mean I still have hope!

What?

Two half stacks and the LS thing they make to switch between one/the other or both. What's the matter with that?

Ah right.. it looked like you meant using 2 cabs with one head and using the line selector so switch cabs.
