Ah, excellent thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks guys.

ST - I did see the data sheet last night, although couldn't find the watts to work out the ampage. I thought it might be the 10 amps listed but surely that's quite a lot?

Lightbox - Yes, that's the voltage in my home, can I ask how you worked out the amps or is that a good guess? If it's 5amps tops then that's fine for me.

I'm trying to work out if I can plug it into an extension cable with other appliances, and can't work it out. All other appliances comes to around 5amps in total, so well below the 13 amps maximum at the moment

Get any free marshall rig you like (go check the free packs section on rig manager) and just play with the eq and definition control. As DonPetersen said, the tube shape goes from preamp-like saturation to poweramp-like saturation. Experiment with it. On a side note, I have never "heard" power amp saturation on a real full head marshall, too much volume

Hmmm, good point I haven't heard it in person either. I'll give it a go and see what happens

What is the closest Marshally-rocky profile for power amp saturation? Or anyone have tips on getting close to it?

The tone I'm looking for

Welcome to the family ?. As people have said you need to tweak at gig volumes.

I dislike the Britt Marshall profile I use ,at low volumes, but it sings on stage at gig volume

Thanks

I've always played through a cab so this is a learning curve for me. Noodling around last night with some profiles (headphones again) and it's ridiculous how good they sound.

Which Marshall profile do you like best?

Guys thank you so much for the info, I've been reading about the effect of volume vs perceived sound and it all makes sense

I have rehearsal on Saturday so I will try out these tips.

Thanks again

Hi ST and thanks for the welcome

Yes admittedly I haven't really scratched the surface yet, so it will take time I guess.

The recorded sounds I'm getting at home are what I've been searching for many years, if I can get that at gig volume it will be beyond my expectations!

Those links will help a lot, thank you.

I have the toaster head for a while and just starting to get my head around the unit.

When I play at home through headphones or speakers it sounds absolutely awesome. It feels like a real amp and I can get some beautiful juicy rock tones at conversation volume, which I never thought would happen! When I go to rehearsal and play through the PA it sounds a bit too much like a processor.

I bought some Tone junkie, Michael Britt and Top Jimi profiles, but can't get the same sound at volume. Apart from eq, and obviously the studio PA which I'm changing next week to my own, what should I be doing?
