NAD!! Gave the Katana the Chop!
Im the worst impulse buyer.
Took the Katana in. Kinda unhappy, said I didnt want a refund but maybe a trade. Turned out the Katana was fine but I was still able to exchange it for something else.
I opted for something more simple and straight forward, the Blackstar HT Club 50. I have a good amount of pedals that do a great job so I wanted something more basic and vanilla, the Blackstar ticked all the boxes. So I got the Blackstar ordered and there it was.. all rung up on the eftpos machine... as I grabbed my card to swipe... I saw something out of the corner of my eye...
The Marshall display....there it was, the DSL100... staring back at me.... and it was on special (triggered )
I stopped and stared. and mumbled.. "oh.. the DSL"...."thats nice" or something and just looked at it. I was a kid again.... Then the voices inside said..
"you dont need it"
"Marshalls aren't that great"
"You've already researched the blackstar but not this"
"Pay for the blackstar"
"every noob has a Marshall"
"does it even Djent?"
"Just leave it alone"
Right then the eftpos machine beeped as I took too long to swipe.... so I said "I'll take the DSL"
...and here she is

I'm like that too, eh ?
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Cool photo, nice use of negative space, would be very Mark Rothko if it was a Rockerverb

I think everyone needs a 100w marshall and 4x12 at some stage of their life, achievement unlocked!!

Cost a bit more than the Katana though?

I've never owned a Marshall head and yeah, I think you nailed. It didn't seem to make sense or was practical... but it just seems so right.jeremyb wrote:I think everyone needs a 100w marshall and 4x12 at some stage of their life, achievement unlocked!!

Yeah, I got some 100w Marshall into my life a month or so back.
Not practical, definitely not necessarily or needed, but so so cool.

Cool Story Bro!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
