    Jcm800 speaker recommendations

    I absolutely love the Celestion G12M65 Creambacks, they really make my JVM. As an experiment, I just bought reasonably new 4 G12T75 for $200.00 to try in my1960B style baltic birch cabinet. Their high end and very peaky upper mids made my JVM410H exceptionally noisy and want to feed back. It was...

    2by 12 cabinet that isn't boomy?

    MDF is the most neutral material. I build a lot of high end audio speakers and it’s what we use along with circumferential bracing. Most likely the speakers sound character and speaker cone resonance you are using don’t match what kind of you are going for. You could try lining the cabinet with...

    Is a JVM a real Marshall or something else?

    Actually in my JVM the way it’s dialed in for me, my main channel’s is OD 2 yellow. By dialing in the the gain and volume for this channel, and lowering the master volume, I get great Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin II sounds out of it with my SG. Also I get some very convincing Tony Iommi sounds too. I...

    Is a JVM a real Marshall or something else?

    In terms of Clean Green, it is possibly a super Fender. Although it’s similar to my Twins, it’s not really a Fender, it’s a very versatile Marshall.

    Is a JVM a real Marshall or something else?

    I’m perfectly happy with my JVM, the way I have it set up now, I couldn’t ask for more. I have a fairly large audio system, perfect for “rock & roll. I can easily dial in a tone similar to Jimmy Page for example and with the other preamp settings, I can dial my sound in against other bands...

    Is a JVM a real Marshall or something else?

    I have my jVM410H for about 9 years now. I initially went into buy a JCM 2000 at guitar center after seeing Gary Moore play one at the 50th anniversary of the Strat. He did a rendition of Red House with a strat and the sound he got out of it was amazing, probably the best I heard. Marshall would...

    The Monkees

    You are correct jtees4, that is part of the reason eventually the Monkees broke up, they wanted to write, play their instruments and not only sing the materials that were provided to them and therefore why the show ended.

    The Monkees

    Also, don’t forget Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart were major contributors for a lot of their songs.

    First tube amp!!! Please help

    Although not on your list, a Marshall JVM combo with a Celestion Creamback will give you great fender cleans and a wide range of Marshall tones. The only thing special I would try is a few different preamp tubes to alter the gain and distortion sound as well as the feel. Most importantly the...

    Upgrade(again) or Burn my Mg

    Hi Roag, the way you wrote your description is slingtly confusing to me. Are you saying you want to use new speakers in your cabinet. Is your MG a combo or a head cabinet? Your avatar shows a head/cabinet. Anyway I had a MG100HDFX as a single 12 cabinet with an eminence Swamp Thang, A single...

    My first Marshall 4x12

    I have to absolutely agree with anitoli. When I got my 1960A it was empty but it came with the stock wiring. So I put in my 4 Celestion Creamback65’s and it sounded ok. But being a high end A/V guy, I couldn’t live with which thin wire with the push on connectors. I soldered in 16 gage OFC...

    xplanation of jvm 410h channels and modes

    I find my JVM 410H tone exceptional. I thought it was great as is when I first got it. Then I found the JVM forum, a lot of very good people there and smart. The first thing for me was to get the right cabinet. So I built a few and purchased 1 empty 1960A and built a 1960B. Then I tried a lot of...

    G12m-65 creamback in dsl combo

    A while back I built a single 12 combo cabinet with a Creamback 65. Its very similar in size to a Blackface Deluxe Reverb. It had a very solid an deep low end. This allowed me to dial the bass back and the kids and highs up. It helped keep the amp clean sounding even at a higher volume. I...

    My first Marshall 4x12

    I was fortunate to find an empty 1960A empty cabinet from the early 80’s in 99% perfect condition for $150.00. It also came with a like new cover and the 4 original casters and the badge holder. It had most to of the original Marshall screws, but they were mostly chewed up heads. I ordered a set...

    G12m-65 creamback in dsl combo

    I started my speaker search for my marshall about 10 years ago. I bought a lot of vintage speakers and new ones. For my set up, a JVM410H. I have an early 80’s 1960A with 4 Creamback 65’s, they are a perfect match for my amp and music style. I generally play Beatles to Black Sabbath using a 1969...

    Best & Worst Marshall you've ever played?

    The best is my JVM410H completely set up to my liking. The worst was the solid MGHDFX 1st generation full stack. I bought to try while my Fender Super Reverb was in for service. It was basically loud with unpleasant distortion and absolutely no warmth or bass.

    Overdriving my fender twin

    I love my Twins. I have 3. a 1972, fully modded to ab763, a 1975 also rebuilt, but with a ppi master and a 1994 Twin amp, with a 100/25 watts witch. I like to play loud a lot of times, but I recently discovered putting in 2 Jensen’s RI C12N drop the efficiency level to 97 db, from other...

    Replacing power tubes and first preamp tube

    Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of good people here. Bias on the power tubes is important. Too low the amp is on the sterile side, hotter the tubes break up quicker, way to hot then there is red plating and goodbye tubes. I now run The Preferred Series El34 as well as their 7025/12ax7 for...

    Poll - Given a Choice. Please Participate Thanks

    New Religion I agree with your response. Customizing and working for each individual customer is a great way to go. I started designing my own speaker systems for each job starting way back in 1977. There was a lot I liked from the big high end brands, but not always exactly right for each...

    Poll - Given a Choice. Please Participate Thanks

    coolidge56, I sort of agree on what you have said, but in manufacturing, which I have been apart of for numerous decades, product appeal is very important but in order to launch a product at an affordable price, the product needs to be acceptable to reasonably wide audience to allow the product...
