Electro-Harmonix is a legendary brand in the music world, and they've brought back an iconic amp from the 80' and 90's, the Mig 50. Based on the Sovtek Mig 50, this amp punches well above its weight, but its not without its faults.

His name is Leonid Musaev, he lives in Saint Petersburg and told a story that he was contacted by Mike Matthews in the early 90s to make a Marshall clone, Leonid made it but he didn’t have enough of production capacity to make the quantity Mike had asked for. So he prepared all the documentation, found the local contractors having 11$ from each MIG produced, but he said that later Mike (or his then girlfriend) contacted the contractor directly and removed the extra link in the form of Leonid. He still makes MIGs, legendary amp clones for 400ish USD per head and everything custom you could want from an amp.

They are nice Carling switches and are not cheap in any way. This style was prescribed to us by our testing house. The metal bats certainly have a better "feel" but there's no reason to believe they would have a higher probability of failure/breakage than the metal bat version. Thanks!

Life long Peavey fan here. I bought a 160w all tube Peavey Road Master way back in 2011 because someone told me it is a more affordable alternative to a Sunn Model T. Only paid 150 bux for it since it had a blown fuse. Replaced the fuse and that thing was pumping 160w of ear splitting goodness. I also have a Marshall MG10 that I put a speaker output on so I could actually plug it into a decent set of speakers and that god damn stupid little amp sounds amazing. I am now thoroughly convinced that there really isn't such a thing as a bad amp. Bad speakers and bad guitars, absolutely but if you take a cheap shitty little practice amp like an MG10 or a Line 6 and play it through a decent set of speakers with a decent guitar, it will probably sound pretty great.

The real "secret" to using the MIg-50 is using a split-box or cable and going into both channels at the same time, and then balancing the overall EQ with the channel volumes, and then using it more as a clean "bassman" type pedal platform, in that regard it truly excells!

The MIG-50 is somewhere between lead and bass spec as far as Bassman derivatives go. The tone stack has the bass values and there is no bright cap on the bright channel volume (which is II on this amp), but the first tube and the PI coupling caps are lead spec. Me, I modified my MIG-50 to be fully bass spec, even adding a switch to disable the peaking cap so that it acts like a Bassman (as opposed to Marshall's derivatives). My amp is actually an earlier run and has metal toggle switches. I actually use this with a bass cabinet as a practice/recording amp. 50 watts is on the small side for bass, I'll see if it'll keep up for a gig tomorrow or if I'll end up with Lemmy distortion once I'm at gigging volume.
@oscarrousseau1185 11 ай бұрын
Hi ! I am bass player too but I am not native speaker so I have some trouble understanding the vocabulary here (and Google translate is not helping so much with this specific words...). Could you please explain what is the peaking cap, and the PI coupling caps ? Also do you manage to have clean tone with bass at low volume, or is there always a bit of dirt with this amp ? Because from demos I watched with guitars it looks like even as low as 1 there is some kind of dirt in the sound, I wonder if it is the same on bass... Thank you so much in advance !! 😊

If I remember correctly, I paid 350 for mine used from GC. Into my fender 2x12 bassbreaker closed back it sounds amazing. What Rhett doesn't show is how CLEAN and LOUD this thing is.

50 watts is freaking loud in 2023. I grew up gigging in the era of the original mig 50 amps. During that time I was generally always using two 40-50ish watt amps in my rig (super reverb and Marshall/bassman) . One was always on and the second was turned on and off for for crunchy stuff. Looking back, I cannot comprehend how loud we must have been but clubs were a lot bigger. I now live in Los Angeles and a super or 50 watt anything would get me fired. I'm getting ready to travel to Nashville for some shows in Sept and I'm trying to find something sub 20 watts to get through the gigs. A reissue of this classic is nice but in the hands of a kid, it's like a top-fueled funny car as a daily driver.

Shhhhh! The Traynor YGL line has the nickname "Twin Killer" for a reason. You aren't supposed to talk about them, lest someone like Rhett does a video and drives the used price up! Pete Traynor designed them to be "less fragile" versions of the popular Fender amps: he was an amp tech in Toronto for a large music store and was tired of fixing everyone's busted twin reverbs. The things weigh a ton partly because of the enormous Hammond transformers he sourced and are too loud, but they are built like a tank as a result and have more headroom than anyone needs. The bad things about the amp are: 1) Too loud. 2) Too heavy. 3) Original speakers are not great.

The 1973 is the most balanced/natural sounding affordable mic made. A big part of the sound is the extra resonance canceling diaphragm that reduces harshness. Ask Pete Thorne why he bought one.

My favorite amp I own, and maybe have ever owned, is a Ceriatone OTS20. All said and done, I paid about $860 for it.

All i can say is I bought the 50w Boss Katana combo, and I haven't touched my tube amps in a while, haha.

I paid the same amount for my W and Wicker Boogie. Course it was 12 years ago but I still see the same price just not as fancy. Boogie S O B would blow this right off and laugh on its way out. For the same price. That being said this does look and sound good. Also got my used pro tube Twin for the same price. Basically that was brand new unused at the time of sale. Still got all my good equipment at this time.

the best way to me is to find that breaking point of the most change in sound and leave the controls rigth before that

I use a Aliexpress Chinese kit JTM45 basically just the board transformers chassis and box, using locally sourced components with NOS Vintage Telefunken EL34s assembled in Australia by me modded by me going through a 4 by 12 Celestion loaded cab. But the Mig 50 is killer, I might get one!

Being a member of the working poor and not playing for money, I never had the cash for a tube amp. A couple of years ago, I got a stage right 30 watt head and cabinet for 500.00. It is a Chinese amp, and I don't know how well it will hold up, but I finally have a tube amp and can get the sounds I want. Until then, i had a solid state marshal 15 w and a Pevey backstage 30 w.

sounds nice, my concern would be the reliability/quality factor

I had a Sovtek Mig100h in the 90s, it was a clone of the JCM 800 with 6L6 power tubes and it sounded like fire, I regret having sold it, one of the best amps I have owned.

I loved the old MIG 50. I so want to buy one of the EH ones one day. You'd have to replace all the switches and pots on an old one anyway and they play the same from goofing around with one. I thought this would be a normal gear video and halfheartedly clicked. The gear was just part of it. You did an amazing job of briefly describing mic-ing a cabinet well. That's a lot of experience packed into a couple of minutes and so accessibly described without going into math. I hope it helps stop the spread of angled SM57s. I'm guilty of honoring the gravity of the center of an EQ knob, but I'm happy you brought that up. The whole range is usable... the circuit is designed that way. Be free!
