Nobody really reads these posts anyway but its a good place to clear my mind so I just keep writing stuff anyway.
Stumbled upon some scrap money and used it to buy the 1960BV or bottom cabinet for my Marshall to complete the DSL stack. It should really roar now. Thank god for ear plugs! ha!
The differences between it and the Peavey are more monumental by the day. I should seriously consider sell off the JSX. Hack, I could buy a second Marshall Stack if I did!! Boy, would that be stupid (but fun to look at)
More later.

Amp update.
Had the Marshall DSL head re-tubed and it sounds real good but i think it could sound even better with some better tubes than the standard JJ tubes the store puts in them.
I still have the JSX amp I have been struggling to like these past 3 years.
The differences are HUGE;
1. The peavey JSX is 120 watts and the Marshall DSL is 100 watts but the Marshall seems way louder and has tons more headroom.
2. The Marshall cuts throught the Band mix like a red hot knife through soft butter but the band always complained that they could never hear the Peaver JSX even when I had it turned up to 8.
3. lastly and most important, the Marshall cleans up real nice when you roll the guitar voulme down. the JSX never does. it stays muddy and dirty no matter how low the guitar is turned down and actually seems to get darker and more muddy the lower the volume. I have speculated that maybe different tubes would fix this but who knows. Im keeping the JSX for now. I have 2000 dollars in it and im not interested in losing money on it just yet.

Guitar Amps
I traded a fellow in Kentucky for a Marshall DSL 100 watt amp. Loved it for about 30 minutes and then it seems to go flat. Had new tubes put in it and it almost seems worse.
I cannot win.

Work
heard this morning from my old boss at Hussmann that several more people were 'let go'.
These were all executive secretary's. Some been here a long time and all I had worked for many times. All these gals were (and still are) very good people. I am sorry for them but hopefully they will get to a better place than this is now.
I said it before and i say it again; this was such a wonderful place before the bean counting head choppers took over. Instead of trying to figure out a way to increase sales and make a better product they focus entirely on cutting overhead and costs, and there is certainly a place for that but to do one and not the other seems pretty stupid to me. What is wrong with creating jobs and spending money anyway? If every company keeps cutting jobs and spending money NOBODY will have a job or be able to spend money and then you will not have a market for your product so you will have to cut further costs and and lay off more people and the whole thing starts to spiral like crap down the toilet bowel.
