I think the Marshall JVM 410H is good but not great. It's the kind of amp you would have some fun for a few months or even a year and then find yourself wanting a better Marshall.
Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands of all time. Lately though they have really been missing the mark. There newer albums just feel uninspired. I kinda don't blame them though. There are only so many notes :lol: :LOL:
I think it is interesting how this subject keeps resurfacing every so often. Personally, I would take a great amp with a crappy guitar any day. I firmly believe a Soldano with a Squire sounds better than a Suhr with a Crate amp. The breath of life comes from the tubes!
Just my opinion anyways...
