    Difference between Mojotone Cabinets

    A used 1936 will vary in build quality and materails. I build my own speaker Cabs but have bought head cabs from Sourmash and they are excellent. I would wpuld order from him unless I found a killer deal locally.

    The slap in the face for marshall : HDRX 20

    Back then, they were jumping to additional heads (daisy chaining) and not jumping channels. I don't think jumping the channels was a big thing until the 80's. I am not sure where it came from but given the time, I would guess there was a magazine article or something like that that made it popular.

    Heritage Greenback 12M in DSL20CR

    The "20 watt" heritage greenback is not really a 20 watt speaker. It was simply labeled that way for marketing purposes because it is supposed to sound like a 1965-67 greenback that was originally rated at 20 watts. I don't know what the actual power handling for that speaker is, but I have fed...

    71 JMP 50 My findings on jumpered / aby box / solo boost / cleans

    If the Ironman doesn't work out for you, I would suggest trying the Fryette PS-100. You get two foot switchable channels that let you tweak volume, presence and depth for each one. You can also put a volume pedal in the loop where it won't impact the amp's tone at all. I use a Boss with the...

    NYC R&R question

    Honestly, I think CBGB's was the only "rock" oriented historical place in the city. Only one I can think of at least. There are some decent guitar shops, at least there were pre-COVID. The closest site of historical significance that comes to mind would be the Capital Theater in Portchester...

    SV with a Variac?

    Turning down the voltage will make the power tubes run even colder. Turning up the voltage is a bad idea unless you are pretty familiar with the circuit and component ratings. Why not convert to adjustable bias?

    Educate me on USA and South America definitions please

    No No No!!! America and American are short for the United States of America. Those terms are never used for other countries on these continents. The terms "North American" and "South American" are never used to refer to people, only to describe the continent a country is in. For example...

    Marshall 1968 plexi(original) vs Marshall 1968 Plexi Clone

    There is a huge range depending on what you want to buy, new vs used etc. Some of the bigger name clones will cost about half as much as a real 68 new, but they will be perfect with no need for new caps or other major service for decades. There are cheaper clones that can be had for much less...

    I think it would be quicker to make a list of all the great Christmas songs we want to hear over and over and over for a month straight. Here is my list:

    Fractal Audio Systems is INSANE!

    That is one downside to the JBL's. You can run XLR from the Fractal and a 1/8" to dual 1/4 TS cable from the PC but some other brands give you more input options and even Bluetooth from the PC. I run my PC audio in and out through a Focusrite interface to the monitors, and also plug my...

    What is so wrong about a mullet?

    Back when mullets were new and in style, they looked stupid and made anyone who had one look worse. Now? Multiply by 10x.

    in a dilemma ... need some advice, urgently

    Just tell your parents and siblings everything that you told us. If they want to do something with everyone, they will discuss alternatives. If not, don't go, you weren't wanted anyway.

    The Story of the Marshall Amp

    Do you have any insight into the 1962 vs 63 debate? I see a lot of sources claiming that the first amp was demoed in September 1962 and people claiming early amps as 1962 production models. OTOH, Dudley’s website isn’t the only place I have seen the assertion that that isn’t true and that the...
