In this video I explore and demonstrate what happens when cranking a valve amp into power amp distortion! I have decided to use 3 very different amps - the Marshall Origin 20 which I think relies heavily on it's power being distorted for that classic Marshall tone. At the other 2 ends of the spectrum, I have the EVH 5150lbx which has a lot of preamp gain and a Laney VC15 which has no preamp gain at all. Hopefully this will make it clear what power amp distortion actually sounds like and how to achieve it! Please subscribe for more content coming soon. Disclaimer - Valve amps are very dangerous. Do not mess with them unless you know how to do it safely! For business, collaboration or sessions - danleggattguitarist@
