 DM> Correct.  I played the new Marshall with a '52 reissue Tele, then a LP
 DM> Jr reissue with P90's in it.
       That was one of the Teles I liked, besides the Tex Mex. If I remember 
correctly, the Broadcaster style lead PU was still being used in '52, right? 
:) 
 DM> The "Classic" or low-gain channel was pretty good.  The clean setting on
 DM> that channel was actually very good for a Marshall also.
       That's probably the most I'd use out of it. I tend to go for the more 
bluesy sounds, like EC, SRV, Dave Gilmour, and stuff like that.
 DM> The higher gain side just didn't do it for me.  I don't use it much, but
 DM> I can play with very high gain.  I played a ProSonic 2x10 combo today
 DM> with a Parker Fly and it sounded *killer*.
       Occasionally, I'll do a little shred with high gain. I have an Alnico 
II Pro in the bridge of my #1, so it actually sounds nice with shred 
distortion.
       The ProSonic is soooooooooo sweeeeeeeeet! I really want to get one. 
I'd prefer the head model on top of at least one 4x12. Nothing les than 12s 
for me. :)
       I played an old mid '60s Dual Showman head through a Peavey Sheffield 
loaded 4x12 the day before I picked up my Tele. It was really warm sounding. 
I liked it. I guess you could say that it was brown sounding, like Jeff's new 
Fender. :) Of course his being a butt doctor's assistant probably helps the 
brownness. 
 DM> After playing with the ProSonic combo, I can say that I'd buy one of
 DM> those before I'd pop for the new Marshall...Bear in mind that I really
 DM> like Marshall amps, and I have a room *full* of them here :))
        I think that one of the best sounding amps I've ever played is the 
ProSonic. I tend to play somewhat dirty all the time 'cept for on my band's 
two originals (at least the rhythms). Most of the time I tend to like good 
thick sounds good for lead and nice crunchy rhythms (Johnny B. Goode 
sounding).
       I'll have to check out your page. :)
