I went to Atomic Music today and they had a 50w Marshall SLX for $900. Tried it out and really liked it. I never had spent quality time with a SLX. Great sounding amp.
I talked them down to $750 and I had a $250 store credit so I got it for $500 out the door!!!

Pics and clips coming soon because unfortunately the electric company turned the power off for the previous owner, instead of transferring it to my name even though I had put the transfer request in, so the house has no power until FUCKING TUESDAY and I'm in a hotel room until then

Nice score. Congrats on the amp and new house.

Jesus christ lol. Did they at least get the internet on yesterday? Useless without power!!

The power company and water company both did this to me when I bought my house. The water company claimed no one was home, but we were home all day, so I called and yelled at like 3 people. They sent someone out. I don't remember what we did about power, but it came on later that day. I'm sure I was yelling at more idiots.

I had a 100 watt SLX that has been my favourite Marshall I’ve owned so far. I turned all the knobs to noon and it was a great sound that worked really nicely with a band.

Yeah they installed the internet yesterday. It was working great but yeah useless now without power.
I'll call them on Monday and see if they can turn it on the same day. They were close today so I had to make an appointment online and the earliest they had was Tuesday.

I'm very impressed with it. It can get fuzzy on higher gain setting but for the amount of gain I usually use, it sounds awesome. I have both gain knobs at around 10 o'clock but I will play with it during practice.

The SLX is a pretty bad ass amp. Definitely a Marshall but has a cool vibe going on. The dual gains are really cool. I had a Deliverance at the time and kinda approached the SLX the same way with the gains and it worked out well for me. Fun amp and a great price man. Enjoy!

The best recorded thrash tones I ever got were a boosted 2204 with a OCD and GEQ in front hard left and a 100 watt SLX unboosted hard right. Great fucking amps. Congrats!

Hope you don’t need AC. Or did you, and that’s why you’re at a hotel.

You moved again?

Is the SLX the diode-less JCM900?

The SLX is a JCM900 if I'm not mistaken. I've contemplated getting a JCM900 of some sort. Probably a 50w.
