    Jcm 2000 dsl-100

    Adrian, thanks for the tube explanation. I'm not going to overwhelm myself with too much, "what if" etc. I loved the tone I heard on the DSL's clean/crunch channel through my pickup and those GT12-75's. That did it for me. I think I'll just start there, and if in the future you or someone can...

    Jcm 2000 dsl-100

    Ricky, below you were talking entirely about the 2210 correct? I just liked the idea of a simpler amp. All I really want out of the DSL 100 is the clean crunch channel, and that's it. I did like how the eq was very balanced for the clean/crunch channel. I could dial out a lot of things, etc...

    Ricky, that's awesome - and gives me more confidence in the amp choice. Hmmm.... I never told you how much "they" want for the used 2007 DSL 100. It's a used head that the music store has been renting out. I think they owned it, not an individual person. I don't know how many times it was...

    That SUCKS about getting your Gretsch stolen. Yeah, I love mine. I only bought one because a friend loaned me his black duo jet, and I fell in love with it. With regards to mods... Yes, to both of your questions. To firm up the bass - not that I found it loose in the DSL 100 - it sounded quite...

    Jcm 2000 dsl-100

    Adrian, I don't have the DSL 100... yet. I still have to sell a Fender to finance it. The tube types you mentioned is a bit over my head. I'm not sure what tubes were in the DSL I tried - I think they might have been Mesa EL34's. The salesman told me that if I get Mesa tubes biased one way, when...

    Jcm 2000 dsl-100

    Frankie, I did check out the workbench section for Joey's mods. I really don't know much about why people do those specific ones. In my case, I'm just worried about longevity of the amp. I'm not really a high gain player at all. Most 100 watt owner would probably think I'm silly for wanting so...

    Re: Jcm 2000 dsl-100 Frankie... You're saying I should mod it? Funny, I found this site DSL100 | Modifications Rich, the guy who owns the shop explains the step by step process of upgrading the OT. He also mentions that "the capacitance of the original bleed capacitor is 470 picofarads (pF)...

    All4Tone: you said, "one this is clear though, you have a great amp". Were you referring to the Supersonic 22, or the DSL? Yeah, the speakers... when I played the amp I played it through 2 GT12-75's. I have a friend's Mesa cab with 2 vintage 30's I've been running the Fender through - it sounds...

    Jcm 2000 dsl-100

    All4Tone: Not sure why I heard that, but I've seen several bands at fairly large venue in my city. One band in particular played a few AC/DC covers, and when the guitar(s) came through, it sounded like way too much gain - to the point where the notes in a D chord didn't chime or sustain with...

    JCMJMP, you said, "That is f****ed up. Never heard of anyone stating something like that before and none of the Marshalls I've played or heard do that. Don't believe everything you read on the 'net." It's nothing I've read. I've heard guys play live with Marshall's that have that tone. Maybe...

    Jcm 2000 dsl-100

    Hi guys. I'm looking to sell a Fender to finance a used JCM 2000 DSL-100. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play the amp yet. I just wanted some feedback on how classic this amp sounds and feels - and if it sounds organic - natural order harmonics etc. Some Marshall's I've heard - for...

    all the arguments against a jcm800 2204

    Twin, I know that it's a 50 watt. Here: Amps - Tube Amps - Marshall JCM800 w/mod 1983 - Spaceman Music So an 83' JCM 50 watt is a 2203? Was this a good amp for that year? Much thanks.

    all the arguments against a jcm800 2204

    Guys, there's a "modded" 1983 JCM 800 used at a store in my city. They're asking $999 for it. They say the mod has a " gain boost switch has been added to the back" Is this 1983 JCM a 2204? I don't know the difference between a 2203 VS a 2204. Can someone please shed some light. Thanks.

    Marshall 50 watt (1987)

    SOLO, I could care less if you sound "Angus-esque". You're a damn great guitar player. You definitely have the feel and the rock n' roll in your hands. I'm a simple, simple player - but I can nail Mal's feel, because I've been listening to those records for over 25 years. Look at some of the...

    Marshall 50 watt (1987)

    Steve, the fact is, THAT SOUND, Malcolm's sound, has already been done before him by Humble Pie. Now there's Chris Chenney with the same sound, I don't care for his music, but is SOUND is still very good - to me. What can I say - I like that sound - the Gretsch tone over say a Kramer or Ibanez...

    Marshall 50 watt (1987)

    Les, do you know of any source online where I can find a legible schematic for the 73' 50 watt (1987) circuit. If I was going to go your route - and buy a JCM 800, I'd have a tech in my area convert to the 87's circuit - with lead and bass inputs. I can't find a good source for legible...

    Marshall 50 watt (1987)

    Thanks Les Paul Marshall. I guess what I was trying to get at, is WHAT makes them different. I'm fully aware that they're different - but really shouldn't be because they're based on the same circuit. Therefore, what makes the 73 so much more.... dynamic. There are very subtle nuances that...

    Marshall 50 watt (1987)

    Guys, I'm new to the forum, and I have some questions about tonal differences, and variations of different 50 watt Marshalls with similar circuits. I found this clip: YouTube - 1973 Marshall 50 Watt Demo This is THE TONE I consider one of the best - classic AC/DC, Malcolm Young etc. But, not...

    MARSHALL TREMOLO 50W BLUESBREAKER 2X12 & Vintage Modern Compared?

    Hi guys, I just wanted some opinions regarding the difference between these 2 amps. I've heard the 50 watt VM combo through my Gretsch Jet with a single TV Jones classic Plus bridge pickup - I liked it very much. But, I found a used MARSHALL TREMOLO 50W BLUESBREAKER 2X12. How are they...

    Marshall Class 5 amps....

    Re: Marshall Class 5 amps....Power Scaling... I know, it might seem silly, but there's a company called Fargen doing it for their "mini plexi" Fargen Mini Plex MK II Amp Features * London Power / Power Scaling control 12 watts down to less than a 1/2 watt * Single or dual power tube switch...
