Title: Marshall MG30DFX and Gibson Les Paul Classic Post by: Heihachi on March 23, 2006, 07:24:03 AM I recently bought a Marshall MG30DFX amp. It sucks very much, with the overdrive channel on. The clean is good. Anyone had or has this kind of setup, and can give me advice about it?
Title: Re: Marshall MG30DFX and Gibson Les Paul Classic Post by: Genesis on March 23, 2006, 07:34:47 AM You're right. The amp just sucks. My friend had the same amp. A Gibson LP Classic just doesn't deserve to played through a Marshall MG30DFX. Get a new amp or a good distortion pedal.
Title: Re: Marshall MG30DFX and Gibson Les Paul Classic Post by: Irish rose on March 23, 2006, 08:37:45 AM I have that amp, I didnt mind it at the start because I was only a beginner. But ur right the distortion sounds crap. I bought myself a podxt live, I also bought a marshall jackhammer pedal, that should improve your sound..
Title: Re: Marshall MG30DFX and Gibson Les Paul Classic Post by: Heihachi on March 23, 2006, 09:58:52 AM Ok. Thanks for all the advice. what good pedal would you recommend? I want a Guns, hard-rock sound.

The tubescreamer is supposed to be used with tube amps. It will only add a little crunch on the MG since it is a solid-state amp. I recommend just getting a new amp. I suggest a Peavy Valveking, Fender Blues Junior, or an amp from the Vox Valvetronix series. The valvetronix amps are not tube but they are great for the money.Title: Re: Marshall MG30DFX and Gibson Les Paul Classic Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 23, 2006, 03:01:54 PM Go with the Ibanez TS-9, also known as the Tubescreamer.

The valvetronix amps are not tube but they are great for the money.I've used one in my effects chain for years and i'm currently running on a Randall RH 200 solid state head.? i don't run it for my primary distortion (usually for a lead boost), but I do run it primary on a couple of songs and have gotten good tone.? It can still be used. Slash on AFD ran very light distortion.? Thats what i'm referring to. Title: Re: Marshall MG30DFX and Gibson Les Paul Classic Post by: AXL 20 on March 23, 2006, 03:56:48 PM The peavey valveking is all you need. I can get any tone i want, whether it be heavy heavy crunch or Eddie van halen style, JCM800 sounding and of course Slash. Very smooth amp with a more gain button that is way worth it. My 212 was 600 dolalrs i dont know how muhc the 112 costs but its so worth it.

Title: Re: Marshall MG30DFX and Gibson Les Paul Classic Post by: IzzyDutch on March 24, 2006, 04:06:06 PM I've got the G30R CD which is basically the same without effects. I don't play with much distortion at all, and I can get a great Izzy/Stonesy type of sound out of it 8)
