    DSL-100 - weird speaker noise...

    Just wondering if anyone knows what this might be... Last night, I plugged in, played for a bit, and had to turn down for a second when my wife called for me from upstairs. I turned both guitar volume and then amp volume down, and I noticed this faint but audible "BLUB, BLUB, BURB BURB...

    Why doesn't Marshall offer Power Scaling on other amps?

    Ok. Thanks.

    Why doesn't Marshall offer Power Scaling on other amps?

    I've been debating selling my DSL-100, to finance a YJM-100. The power scaling feature is brilliant. Who wouldn't want that feature — in other Marshall amps? Why does Marshall only offer this feature on the YJM-100? Is it a licensing issue with London Power Scaling? It seems every other...

    Wow, those Svetlana's aren't very expensive either.

    Solarburn, LOL - there wasn't any sarcasm in that was there? ;-)

    Preamp Tubes? - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

    RiverRatt, another issue. Let's say my friend's Gibson Traditional with the Burstbuckers are WAY over the top - even on the crunch channel with these settings: Crunch Engaged Volume 5 Gain 3-4 If I had a guitar with a pickup on the hotter side (hotter than my current TV Jones Classic Plus...

    Preamp Tubes? - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

    RiverRatt - I got it, I've used imagebin and it works well enough. Pre-amp tube question... If I've put the Mullards in V1 & v2, the JJ's in V3 & V4, is there any better combination? I probably would've bought all Mullards, but they only had 2. I already had a JJ, so I just picked 2 more. It...

    Preamp Tubes? - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

    Thanks RiverRatt, I've never quite understood what the URL thing meant. I though you needed to use something like imagebin. Marty, thanks for the info. I know nothing about these types of pickups. It's much easier in the Gretsch world because there are really only 2 vendors: Gretsch and TV...

    Preamp Tubes? - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

    Yeah, no kidding, crickets! I guess maybe it was considered a dumb question. But I'll still assume, that Marty's previous post, shielded is V1, everything to the right of V1, is 2,3,4 etc. —*And I did put the Mullards in V1, V2, JJ's for the other 2. Segue... JCM, my neighbor came over today...

    75W speaker in JCM900 100W combo?

    Ahhh, ok. I wasn't aware it was that involved. In my case, the plate voltage is 439 VDC, and it's biased at 74mv per side, or 37mv per tube - I think 65% plate dissipation - JCMJMP did it for me - he lives very close to me. I was asking because I'm really interested in those Scumback BlackBack...

    75W speaker in JCM900 100W combo?

    Speaking of output... Can you guys please explain the ACTUAL output of the JCM 2000 - DSL 100 on the: 1) clean channel, volume at half, gain at half = ? output wattage 2) crunch channel, same settings: 3) RED/ULTRA gain channel, LEAD 1, volume half, gain at half: I would really appreciate...

    75W speaker in JCM900 100W combo?

    robaxeman... I'm in the same boat, with JCM 2000 DSL 100 head. A friend has given me his MESA 2X12 roadster cab - on indefinite loan. It has 2 Celestion V30's at 60 watts each. — Mind you, I'm always on the GREEN/CRUNCH channel, volume at about 4.5, GAIN about the same, or even 3.5. I "should"...

    G12H30 vs Vintage 30's vs G12T75

    johnfv - I just listened to that Liberator 80. WOW, great sounding speaker. Maybe I'll just get 2 of those and put them into a 2 X 12. Thanks for posting that - I didn't even know they existed.

    G12H30 vs Vintage 30's vs G12T75

    Ha, that was me that put up the scumback demo. I "think" they're probably good speakers but without hearing them in person..hmmm. I take people's advice here more seriously, those who actually own the speaker, or have mixed different ones. It's an investment to see if you like one or not.

    G12H30 vs Vintage 30's vs G12T75

    Does anyone know of a higher wattage speaker, say 100 watts power handling, that sounds like the G12H Heritage? I want to run my DSL 100 through a 2X12, using 1 G12K-100, and something else for more midrange hump, but the same power handling. I'm surprised Celestion doesn't have anything like a...

    The dsl joey mod thread

    Thanks Ricky. I find this amp sounds best (to me) with the crunch channel on, volume at half (MAX) and gain around 3-4. It's definitely got bite, but if you pick more softly, it get semi-clean. You dig in harder, and then it growls. I love the tone, it's just too fizzy, and way to bright. So...

    The dsl joey mod thread

    JCMJMP, that sounds good to me. I'm definitely going to change the OT, PT and add a choke - just can't afford it right now. I think I might have my friend do the V1a cathode cap change, and then the treble caps as well. I want to order all the parts first - that I'll also need later on. I just...

    G12-75's Suck....yes

    Another speaker segue...Does anyone own, or have you tried Celestion G12K 100's?

    The dsl joey mod thread

    Thanks guys.. Ricky, that sounds like what I'm looking for. I find I'm rolling the presence down so low, and even lowering the mids from middle position to about 4 to roll off some of that bling, but it's still there. My settings are almost always, GREEEN channel, CRUNCH ON Volume at 4-4.5, 5...
