I was reliably told by the Internet that these were irredeemable piles of donkey dung. But I just grabbed one for super cheap, cranked up the master, slammed the front end with a Mr. Mansfield preamp, and had instant crushing thrash tones on Channel B. Am I doing this wrong? Do I have to turn in my tan pants now?

They rule and everyone else drools. JCM900s cranked up sound great
 
I have a '00 6L6 version, I'd be perfectly alright if this was my only amp, it's currently my only high gain one. I've been through triamps, rectos, Rockerverb, Blackmore, slo. None of them hit the spot for me like the 4100 :dunno: got some v30's and never looked back.

It sounds okay at lower volumes. I play with a bassist with twin fridges, so it's always getting a workout. Even recording, I crank it into a rlir. It comes to life around 2 o'clock.
 
They're totally fine. I recently sold one to a shitty reverb seller who "didn't like the sound" so I ended up sending him an entire set of new tubes.


Underrated clean channel.
 
I can see why someone expecting classic Marshall tones wouldn't like it (though Channel A can get pretty close), but I'm extremely pleased with it for what I paid.
