    Effects loop questions??

    Yeah, thats what I was thinking.... especially for digital delay/reverbs. Most of the loops Ive looked at have a send level but Im just not sure of the value and the best place to put it?? ...if it goes just before the send jack then wouldnt it need to be quite a high value so that when...

    Effects loop questions??

    Hello people! I am planning on installing a tube driven series fx loop into my 2204 and have a few questions (sorry if this has been covered before)... I have been looking at a few designs for the loop - some user designed ones, ones in Orange amps, Mesa etc etc - and all are a little...

    Vintage Modern 2266 tone questions...

    Hi all! I recently bought a used 2266C VM combo, absolutely love it! ...all my favorite marshall tones out of one amp! Are there any guys out there who are familiar with this amp, or have one, cause I have a few questions and it'd be great if you chaps could let me know what you think...

    DSL 401 buzzy sound - help needed!

    Well, I went to my local shop, played the VM 2266C and WOW! I was hooked after about 2 minutes! What a fantastic amp... for me its everything I've been looking for and combines the two Marshall sounds I love the most - a Bluesbreaker/Plexi and hotrodded JCM800! It obviously isnt exactly like...

    DSL 401 buzzy sound - help needed!

    Thanks John, yeah, I've heard of using a beam blocker but I think the fizzy noise will still be there - but just a bit more muffled. I might try a makeshift one and see what it sounds like. I think the fizzy noise (from my experience, and from what you are all saying) is an inherent 'sound'...

    DSL 401 buzzy sound - help needed!

    I've just spent the morning examining and comparing the DSL401 schem and the DSL50 schem (I used to have a DSL50 and that didnt buzz at all, I only sold it cause I didnt have space for the cab.) Anyway, despite a lot of people saying they are totally different, they are actually not as poles...

    DSL 401 buzzy sound - help needed!

    Yes, I feel the same, Ray, it would be a huge shame to have to get rid of it because in every other way - tone, crunch, size, watts, versatility, and price - this amp is exactly what I'm after. Hope someone can suggest a way to fix that annoying buzz, if indeed there is a way to fix it?....

    DSL 401 buzzy sound - help needed!

    Hi all Bought a DSL 401 recently for use in the house... got it used, mint, for a great price! I like the stock sound and versatility of this amp but always noticed a slight buzzy sound on the OD channels. I have improved the tone after doing some of the more popular mods.... fitted a 5yr...

    DSL clean/crunch volume

    I've been playing a long time and I understand the concept of clean boosting :) I've used a couple of clean boosts etc with other amps but I'm not a huge fan of using pedals - I like to keep things as simple as possible. All I'm simply trying to do is boost the clean - or attenuate the crunch...

    DSL clean/crunch volume

    Appreciate your input mate! Wish I was a little more familiar with some of the later circuits... I can work on JMPs & 800s schematics, much easier, but all the switching options on the later marshals get a bit complicated for me!

    DSL clean/crunch volume

    Yeah, I did see that mod somewhere, great idea and looks very useful! I'm more interested in just evening out the volume and tone at this stage to be honest, rather than being able to switch them like an extra channel. There was one thread which mentioned changing/removing a couple of...
