My month old Friedman Smallbox 50 came with ARS 12ax7 (Chinese) tubes in V1, V2 and V3. I wanted to experiment with some different tubes in V1 which is the main gain stage tube. Not that the ARS sounded bad but just out of curiosity. So I tried a new production Tung Sol and then a Mullard...
Thanks guys. If a replica I would imagine and I may be wrong that it would not be worth the same nor sound the same. The value of the guitar I have is 2700.00 so I think I will pass. Appreciate everyones help.
Guy wants to trade me this Marshall JTM45 PTP handwired with white back and 1960TV cab for a guitar I have. He doesnt know the year it was built. All I have are these pics. Any help would be great. He does say it is not one of the newer RI and uses Kt66 tubes. He also said it has a Bulgin power...
Bought a pair of Celestion Cream 90 Alnico speakers. My first impression out of the box is they are some of the nicest, if not the nicest sounding speakers I have played through. I put them in a open back 2 x 12 cab I had some Eminence in. They sound fantastic regardless of the amp I am using. I...
I traded a guitar for a 1986 JCM800 4010 a while back. Very good condition and sounded great except was not in love with the original 12m-70 speaker. Also it needed to be really cranked to sound great. Therefore I countinued mostly playing through my JVM410HJS because it sounds pretty good even...
Just a follow up. Took the H75 out and put in the G12h30 Anniversay and to my surprise much better. Never really thought the M75 and the Anniversary would be a good mix. Lot better than what I had. At least to my ears.
I was looking for a used 2 x 12 Marshall 1936 cab and bought one that houses a Scumback M75 and H75. I am running it a 1986 Marshall JCM800 4010 combo. Read the great reviews on the Scumbacks and thought I would give them a try. Well I have tried everything. I just can not dial them in on the...
Thanks. Actually I think I am getting somewhere. I have been adjusting the EQ just a little at a time and am starting to get some decent tones. I think my biggest problem is after using the G12t-75s for so long I am just not use to the sound of these. Especially the mids. I think its best, for...
Hi All
May be stupid question or concerns but could use some help. I am running a 1936 cab I just bought used with a M75/H75 mix. Both are the low wattage ones. I am using a 1986 JCM800 4010 combo to push them. I have been having a hard time getting the tone right. Now what I am use to is the...
Hope someone can help a newby to a 1986 JCM800 4010 50 watt 1x12 combo. First of all I am clueless when it comes to this amp. Very clean condition though. I pulled the power tubes but there is no writing on them but by looking at pictures on the net they apear to be EL34s. I thought this amp...
Picked up this JCM800 50 watt Combo. I think I might have read that there were better years and models of the JCM800 combos ( not sure) but being I never owned a JCM800 of any flavor and was looking for a Marshall Combo I figured why not. Plus the old owner wanted a guitar I had that I was not...
