Hahahaha.....Marshalls going to 11 is cool,......but *doing my best Nigel Tufnel impersonation*...my Marshall goes to 12 (via it's boosted crunch mode), you know what?, Rock the Casbah is actually a really cool song, cheers for posting the video clip mate.

Rock the Casbah is actually a really cool song.

I'm sure old school Clash fans thought it was The Clash selling out.

Na, the Clash were ever evolving,I think that's why the fans stuck around. I loved them from London Calling till the stuff Joe Strummer did with the Mescelero's. The Sandanista 3 LP was an outstanding release, I still listen to it regularly , in fact I included Lose this Skin in my DJ set last Sunday.

The Clash's song "London Calling" was another one of those 80's Punk classics that I actually liked a lot too, I reckon Joe Strummer is a lyrical genius, he certainly knew how to put words together to convey what the mainstream public wanted to say.

Update:


Been thinking of adding a couple more pedals to my pedal board, a TS-808 Tube Screamer and a TS-9 Tube Screamer, one of my local music shops in Darwin, the Pro Shop, has both a TS-808 and a TS-9 in stock, I've also got a small Rowin 5-Band EQ pedal I could add into the mix as well, once I get my Gold Standard Strat back in action I'll see if I can get some Eric Johnson tones happening.

Update:

Okay, I've been putting it off for a bit too long now so I'm going to go ahead and see if I can record a quick and dirty demo of my recently-fixed Marshall amp for you guys, I'm going to use my Focusrite Scarlett CM25 Condenser Mic to record the amp straight into FL Studio and I will try not to use any plugins so you can hear what the amp sounds like on it's own, I may need to use my sleeping-bag to stop any outside noise being picked up by the mic, the guitar I will be using is my Gibson USA Les Paul Studio, plugged straight into the amp with no pedals, I will plug the footswitch into the amp so I can switch the amp channels remotely, and I might turn up the amp's reverb in parts of the demo recording too, stay tuned.


And finally, here's the new demo clip I recorded of my recently fixed Marshall, I think she's sounding pretty good so far, this demo will sound a bit rough-and-ready, the playing may be a bit dodgy in parts, this is just to give you an idea what the amp sounds like now, the sounds range from dry-clean, reverbed clean, crunch, and boosted-crunch....enjoy!!

Love that crunchy sound.

Brings back fond memories from my youth.

I actually didn't have the Marshall turned up very loud at all when I made that demo recording, both the clean and overdrive channel master volumes were set to the 9 o clock position, but the amp was still loud enough to hear in the room while I had my monitor headphones on, I also had my sleeping bag draped over the front of the amp and I put a pillow on top of the mic too, the mic was placed on a small stand 20cm away, and facing the centre of the front of the amp when I made that recording.

Wow, I can only imagine how much better it would sound once opened up a bit more.
