marshall jcm

I recently acquired an ART Power Plant solid state rack preamp. It is a 2 channel preamp, 1 side clean the other dirty. The dirty side has a nice Marshall JCM 800 rock tone. I am wondering if anyone knows how to or knows of any websites that have mods for solid state preamps? I want to mod...

Originally from the UK but moved to South Florida 3 years ago - better weather! Play Les Pauls and Marshall JCM 800. Grew up listening to and playing in '77 style punk bands but now play in a rock band. First CD should be finished in March. Check out my website at viciousriff.com and my band on...

I've been playing for a few years and have gotten fairly comfortable with the sound I like to hear from my guitar. I've gone to shops and played through a fair variety of high gain and high to low power heads and combos. I've played a variety of guitars, but I haven't spent a lot of time with...

Anyone have any insight on the Genz Benz El Diablo. I'm into Rhodes and Blackmore.

I am struggling to get a decent tone on my solos. I use a 96 LP Standard and a Marshall JCM800 2205 and 4x12 and play stuff like AC/DC, UFO etc. If I set a good sound for rhythm on the amp using the normal channel it doesn't matter whether I use the boost channel or a Boss SD1 for solos. It...

Hey guys. I need someone's expertise to indentify a bunch of amps. I found a few amps on YouTube vid that really intrigued me. The problem is that these amp heads and cabinets don't seem to have a logo on them. Using my cell phone camera, I snapped a few pics of these mystery amps: Mystery...

Ok I know this has been done to death many times featuring many different topics. But Im stuck in limbo right now with this. And before anyone bothers I've already done a search and read through 99% of the results. Here's the story. I've recently began working on a duo set-up where me and a...

Hey guys, I'm going to buy a new amp, and my budget is only about $250. I play an Ibanez GAX75, and mostly classic rock, blues, and some hard rock. I don't gig, just play at home, so I need something small. Where I live here in Canada, I don't have much options, even finding them used. I'll...

Ok so i hear all this fuss about power tube saturation, i own a tube amp but i can't really send it to high volumes. Thankfully my amp sounds great at low volumes regardless. I hear about power tube saturation but i don't think i have a full grasp of what it actually sounds like. I know its...

well i went shopping for guitars today...and played a js-1200 for the first time...it played like an old friend...neck reminded me of the js-1000 i tried (and strats)...body felt a little thicker and heavier....the tone sounded just like my guitars with fred in them...the chrome looks shinier on...

I have had a Marshall JCM 2000 for about a year now and it desperately needs new tubes. Being that the amp is super expencive I am apprehensive about cracking it open and getting my hands dirty. I want to replace the tubes with identical ones so biasing isn't necessary. Is this within the realm...

Ive been looking at two amps lately: the 6505 and jsx combo. Ive only been able to play the jsx in head version through a 6505 cabinet (which sounded great). So Im looking for opinions on the jsx combo (especially if you used to own or have played around with 6505/5150) seeing as its open back...

Great site people...just discovered it today.Lots of great info! I have been playin' for almost 20yrs (self taught) and now have just barely begun to use the internet to teach this old dog a new trick or two.Hopefully! I use a Ibanez 540S LTD,A Jackson and a Fender Squire (surprisingly good...

I was looking at possibly having a floyd rose locking tremolo system installed in my guitar, however I was wondering if its by all means practical. I have a ibanez strat essentially and I was wondering are guitar techs able to put one in and typically how much do they run for, I would normally...

Hey, I just ordered a Peavey Valveking 112, but I hear the speaker sucks (I'll have to really see when it comes); and I was thinking about getting a new speaker. My first question is: Do I have to get a speaker that matches the same exact wattage of my amp (50W) or is it alright if its a...

This is just a quick clip of my Splawn Quickrod,i read on HC about some guy who runs his Marshall jcm 800 with the treble off and presence at 9 0`clock,so i thought i would try it,what do you think? I used my strat which has a burstbucker out of my les paul at the bridge,i added a little...

If you could have any amp EVER made..What would it be?? I'm still thinking about my answer....

I made this Patch tonight..I used the information I've been able to find so far on speaker frequency ranges and resonance...What I did: I used the EQ to adjust the actual Frequency range to match the frequency range of the speaker.. Then I used the cab tuning to find the correct...
