what does a Marshall non-master superlead actually sound like at volume????

okay, 90% of these guitars are straight superlead with no effects, mostly into a 90s 1960TV tall cab with 2 vintag pre-rol celestion G12m25 greeback and 2 early marshall branded 'vintage' speakers (also wenhad stock 90s slant cabs with modern leads, a 70s cab with blackbacl mueller coned G12H30s and a mea oversized recto cabinet with black shadows, but its mostly the TV cab), early vntage 30s close miced with a naked eye ribbon and an audix i5 and minimal EQ and compression downstream, just some API shit at the desk if I recall to cut 330hz and contain weird peaks.... amps were a 68 plexi superleas, modded 88 reissue with a ot rod normal channel for lead, 90s reisssue stock and a 72 purple tolex metalface superlead It was LOUD! but it made this nasty, buzzy sound. Mybe not what you are expecting... but this is it.

this is awesome, whos singing :P?

Elissa,* lead singer, bad lyricist and sometimes pianist?* but not througha a 4 input marshsall, with a regular microphone and preamp. probably a shure sm7, neve and a distressor... so not related to why I posted, its kind've a shit song, the bassist's first real attempt at legit songwriting... he got better

there a a ouple tstes of top hst portly vdt, modded valve junior and an olf mgnatone now lsining back but 90% marshalls superled... som ewah and a aprt with boost I think but mustly dead dry other than the odd buffer

bass is a 63 showman through a modern SVT cab with a little sans amp RBI belnded in as DI

this the control room amps and there are probably 2 more superleads and a 20 watt T&B head on top of the cab(s) and then a vox ac15 in the isolation room for when iw anted to play lead in the iso room with the cab to summon feedback and get some coupling. See 2 plexis right there? I see my leg and my ancient wwII leather jacket there. You need one of thsoe tosummon this sort of distortion from a low gain amp. I think I can say that 3 gain pedals were use don this whole record, a BYOC tri-boost quite a bit for rangemaster stuff (not on this tune anywhere), an MJM britbender3 or a burns buzzaround (forget whichm basically the same thing) and a tubescreamer copy with a million switches to change the mids, cipping etc for some ahrmonics on one song for a few bars here and there where the aps weren't cutting it with just a line driver. the pedal at the bottom is DI. Notice 2 fender showmans ar plugged into for mlayered fender grind in this shot. A lot of rhytms sounded great with a showman with 2 tubes pulled driving 16 ohms and my early dual showman at full pwoer slightly driven for definition into a 4 ohm modern marhsall 1960A or B. one with rbbo another with a dynamic and balanced. Easy trick. Hot plate is on the 16ohm halfpoer shwman to goose off 2db so it can be run at 1o for about 30 watts of fender grind. There's a V4B there too, early one too.and an 18 watg clone... valve jr probably heavily modded, a magnatone.

but plexis, yeah

also mostly no effects superleads, a little 18 watt marshall and a few bars of showman:

every single one of those superleads sounded different toa degree even though they were similar to the uninitiated and only 1, my #1 stage one had a any mods. And they were minor. switched to 69 higher gain split vathode circuit, no bright cap on the bright channel and a grid elak bias nrmal channel for supro girth.... biased a smidge cold compared to the other 3 I think for more dirt. one of them had old 6CA7s or KT77s too, and one had orignal mullard tubes I think. 60s ones. Still pretty similar thogh a smidge sweeter clean and at middlig crunchiness.
