    Any Celestion V30 experts here?

    1960b: particle board vs birch

    It's my understanding that Marshall started using MDF for the backs of the 1960 cabs around '71-'73. Would imagine they did some R&D and found they could put a little more money in their pocket with out it effecting the tone by a noticeable difference. I've considered making plywood backs for...

    Celestion Vintage 30's 4x12 vs 2x12

    The Avatar is all Birch plywood and and is the BluesBreaker style. The Marshall cab is all ply except the back which is MDF. I believe Marshall started using MDF for the back piece sometime between '71-'73. I was reading somewhere that there are players that feel a 4x12 has less mid range(may...

    Celestion Vintage 30's 4x12 vs 2x12

    I have some '96 Vintage 30's(16 ohm) that came out of a Sonic cabinet that are well broken in. Installed them in a 1960A and run with a DSL 50. They sound very good but there was something that I didn't like tone wise and can't quite articulate. Anyway, took them out and put a couple in a Avatar...

    Celestron gt75 speaker

    I had the same question as have G12T-75'S with the same label. Here is what Dr. Decibel at Celestion had to say. "The black strip labels were fairly short lived and fell between a change from the original silver label around 1989/90 to us getting our own label printing machine around 1992. '...

    Nad - Marshall Haze 40, Thoughts.......

    LOL! Hey Herbert, Just curious as seems to be one of those amps that stick out a little bit. Opinions are what they are. I like WGS speakers a lot. Thinking of putting a Invader 50 in there as doing more classic rock in current band. Looks like previous owner installed TheTubeStore 7025's in...

    Nad - Marshall Haze 40, Thoughts.......

    Found a good deal on a Marshall Haze 40 combo and just wanted to hear what other users thought of this amp. Wanted something for practice, jam sessions or a small gig. Seems to be liked in general but often read " doesn't sound like a Marshall, has own thing going on". Sure sounds like a...

    Marshall Jcm2000 Dsl401 Running Hot.

    I appreciate that. It was so hat after practice that couldn't even touch the front panel. It's developing a hum coming through the speaker so going to return back to Guitar Center. Thank goodness for their 45 day return deal. I really liked the clean and crunch channel. The OD2 was a bit much...

    Marshall Jcm2000 Dsl401 Running Hot.

    I bought a 2003 DSL401 and notice that it runs extremely hot. It sounds great and mainly use the clean channel with pedals. Any ideas and is this a common issue with these amps? Also notice there seems to be a bit of hiss/white noise on the clean channel. I do plan on replacing the tubes. Are...

    Preamp & power tubes not lighting up/ no sound

    Hey Guys, I have a Marshall TSL60 and it has no sound. Turned amp on to warm up, flip standby off and nothing. I took a peak at the preamp and power tubes and they are NOT lit up. Power switch is lit as are channel indicator lights. I have had the amp for a few months and did change out the...

    TSL 60 sounds dull and lacks volume....... Help please!!

    Hey Rickylee, do you know what the tube positions are for the TSL60? I'm assuming V1 is closest to the input jack and V4 is the one closest to the power tubues but just want to be sure. If any one else knows, that's cool to. Curious why only one tube is shielded.

    Quick update. Retuned it with some JJ's and world of difference. It's definitely Voiced a little different then most Marshall's I've played but it's workable. I really Like the clean channel and with my OCD it gets a great classic rock tone!! Think I"ll pick up a Ramble FX Marvel drive and...
