    Whats The Best Affordable Amp You Ever Heard

    Only amps I ever had less then $400 are a new VT40x and a used Pathfinder 15r - have to be the VOX is the best sounding! On edit, I'll take that back - my used Haze Mini Stack was more then $400, but the head itself is less then $400 - So I'll go with that.

    Marshall Origin 20 Head Speaker Jack Issue

    Its a tough issue - i was in my favorite store last night and the heads I checked out that they were selling (the 20) had the original 8ohm markings, and were still for sale - so they are not being pro-active about the issue. I did try the Origin 5C briefly - it sounded nice, but was...

    Advice On First Marshall?

    Hi! I am sure you will get plenty of great advice, from much more experienced fellows than me, but here is my 2 cents...I am just a hobby/bedroom player such as it is. A couple LPs and a Gretsch. Love classic rock. My 1st Marshall was a used DSL15C, and I liked it enough, but NOT without...

    Marshall Origin Series Amplifiers

    Good to hear the new DSL has been tweaked - my 15c needed mods to make it worthwhile. I have the Haze head (traded in black star HT5 stack) which is cool with the effects, but a design built plexi with scaling and MV should be a nice gap filler.

    Marshall Origin Series Amplifiers

    Figure I'd be in for a 20H. For around $500 wouldnt even have to trade anything. Plug it into the 2061 cabinet and see how it sounds! Scaling, boost, MV and effects? Why not???

    Help Me Pick An Amp Quickly

    I had a Peavey Classic 20 head a few months ago...I had tried Classics before and really liked them. But this Classic had a hi frequency spot that grated on me to no end...I finally traded it is for a DSL15c, that with a few mods, was way better (for me).

    Nad: 1987x, Need Help With The Mods

    Yes - MV at 100% avoids passing "any" signal to ground (black wire), as that gets 100% of the pot resistance, and the PS input gets 0% resistance. If you jump green to blue (I lost track of whats in vs out!), then that should short past the pot too..but leaving it like that leaves those LOOONG...

    Nad: 1987x, Need Help With The Mods

    Ah so they used VR2 Hum Pot as the treble filter pot - interesting. My guess is the assembly is just bleeding off highs through the VR to ground - this is typical on guitars, amps etc., except they used 2 caps and the VR to make it tweakable. Signals of certain frequencies go from Volume Pot...

    Nad: 1987x, Need Help With The Mods

    Ok heres what I came up with... Bypass cap on R11 - original 1987 seems to have had a .68 uf bypass cap on the v2 820r cathode resistor (maybe c7 spot was for?). This GV 037 is a 330uf 100v...increases gain, lets alot of bass through. Master volume added between pre-amp output of v2 (tone...

    Nad 2061x

    So apparently 2061CX are getting scarce - local stores couldn't guarantee they'd get 'em anytime soon as they are back-ordered thru distributor. Ended up biting it and ordering one with free (slooooww) shipping and a slight discount. I have my Celestion Blue ready to join one of the G12h in there!

    Nad 2061x

    Agreed...I read some old threads on other forums that the parts were cheap in the RI, over priced etc etc but mine is just fine - good parts clean build from England!!

    Nad 2061x

    I checked out the Ceriatone layout and very close to the Marshall schematic...a couple extra bright caps seems only dif. I got a BYOC 18watt kit for Xmas which works great, but Much happier having the real Marshall 20w.

    Nad 2061x

    Well shoot that’ll work!! Sounds great! Thanks for tips! Just talked to store about the CX - if they can get one I can get for $799 so I’d do it (have small credit from the amp trade too)

    Nad 2061x

    Shoot - sorry missed last...stitches come out tomorrow - after that?? So noodling with the amp - tones are great, but stay clean for a long turn of the Volume control...not a lot of dirt or breakup, even with an LP and vol at 9-10 (for the couple strums I can take it). But the amp is a beaut...

    Connecting Multiple Amps

    Is there a way to make an instrument cable that has 1 plug from guitar going to 2 parallel Y outputs? Easy enough to do on speakers cables, wondering why you couldn split the guitar signal?

    My right hands in a sling so it’ll be a bit, but I will get to noodle around some to hear the tone.

    Thanks - that it is!! But it’ll work out I think.

    Nad 2061x

    My favorite local store had one of these, new, sitting around for a couple weeks now. In a desire to simplify my numerous gear, and after seeing how these are fairly hard to find new, I decided to trade in and trade up. Checked it quick (my right arm is in a sling) with the help of the guy...

    Dsl 15c With A Greenback?

    I did that... had a greenback from a Vox AC15 I put a blue in, works fine and sounds fine! Much more beef to the cone then the stock speaker. Just watch the Kep nuts in the particle board - not the hardiest assembly.
