    Plexi Vintage 50W 1968 without screen grid resistors blowing tubes

    My 1968 50 watt plexi did NOT come with screen grid resistors. It looks just like the OP amp. It also came with the NFB on the selector rather than a tap so the nfb varies with impedance setting.

    4010 Blowing HT fuse when I play

    Make SURE you are using SLO-Blo fuses. If you are, then it’s probably power tubes.

    Let’s see your pedalboard!

    My pedalboard. My pedalboard. To be honest, I do use a very small one for one band that's a Zeppelin tribute. Wah, phase, boost, analog delay, tuner. That's it. But 97% of the time I just plug in. I hate dirt pedals.

    WTB: Marshall 4010

    I emailed you my info.

    WTB: Marshall 4010

    Y Ya. Thanks for that. I knew about that one. But realistically the one in Italy could get to me for $500 less and it's in at least as nice of shape. Plus, even tho I hate g12-70s at least the one in Italy is original to the amp. I'm trying to beat the bushes for one that HASN'T BEEN...

    WTB: Marshall 4010

    If this listing is 2 months old, I’ve probably moved past it. I miss having a 4010. I’m not looking for any other model. I’ll pay for a nice one. I also have trades….68 plexi, 68 b/w cab, 66 Deluxe Reverb, 66 Vox, more. I’m in the Minneapolis area. Thank you.

    What do you sit on to play your guitars? If you don’t stand of course

    The day I'm too old or feeble to play standing will be the day I sell it all. Temporary setbacks like a broken leg not withstanding of course.

    *** What's your next Marshall? ***

    I had all the 1 watt series. As a JMP, JTM guy I thought those mini 1 Watters would be the shiznit. I was actually a bit disappointed. They sounded nothing like the 50 or 100 watt counterparts, even when recording and leveling. The one from that series that sounded most correct, even better...

    *** What's your next Marshall? ***

    4010. It will be like my 4th 4010 and hopefully I'll keep it.

    Marshall Studio Classic JCM 800 SC20H vs. SC20C

    In sho In short, YES. but it's not the sc20s fault it's the cab style. A 10" speaker will sound very different than a 12. But more importantly an open back cab will sound radically different from a closed back. But remember there was more than one JCM800 sound. Marshall made mostly heads...

    Gibson refret-anyone kept binding nibs?

    Personally, if luthier isn't good enough to keep the nibs intact, he/she/ze isn't skilled enough to touch my guitars. I've had many regretted, always perfect.

    **** Favorite NON-Marshall Amp****

    Blackface Deluxe Reverb, Vox AC 15 or 1st year Berkely Super Reverb.

    Standby vs shutting down amp. Possible dumb ?

    It's probably not that big of a deal on shutdown. What IS bad is physically banging around hit tubes. Let it cool a few minutes before moving it.

    Why Did You Join Marshall Forum?

    I've played vintage valve amp since the early 80s. Mostly non-master volume amps with an attenuator, although I've had many others. I love amps. I came here quite awhile ago specifically looking for technical info on retubing, repairing and building marshall and other amps. Almost all of my...

    JCM 800 and attenuator grounding issue

    It doesn't sound like you got a very "nice" attenuator at all. Attenuators do ONE thing. They attenuate the high power of a speaker output before it gets to its load (speaker). A real attenuator CANNOT have an effects loop. Anyone who says it can does not know what they have. Effects loops...

    Test Attenuator

    It does provide a load…. at the varying AC frequencies that make up an audio signal. But slapping a meter on it is measuring DC resistance, not the impedence that’s measured in the 50-5000hz AC that is the audio spectrum of guitars. What do you suppose reactive means? It means the impedance...

    Test Attenuator

    If you plug in a cord to the input and measure the resistance you Should see close to ZERO OHMS. I have 3 PB-100s and have owned many more. This is right. Somebody else can explain why near zero ohms of DC resistance is not the same as a nominal 16 ohms IMPEDANCE at a given frequency.

    How do you increase headroom in a 50w JMP?

    What DoD said. Except you can get good results staying with EL34s if you use a "10" set from Groove Tubes or any of the other tube resellers that grade based on distortion character. A 10 set or similar, biased for tone will give you more volume before break up. I have a Vibrolux that breaks...

    fav amp you own

    Well, a few weeks ago I would quickly have said my 1959 tweed Super-amp. But today I would have to say my Kemper. My tweed Super is in it. So are my 68 plexi, 67 Vibrolux reverb and AC15. Time to thin the herd. Since the Kemper is zero watts, I think it counts. But I'm a guitar player, so...
