    Anyone still use a G12H30 with their Marshall DSL ?

    Yep, I used to have this exact setup. Here is a link to a recording below. My old DSL50 with Joey mods into a Chute 2x12 with G12H30’s. I liked the sound…very strong highs which can be fatiguing after a while so try and eq that out as much as possible. Otherwise a decent choice.

    1936v and 2536

    Interested to know if current 1936v and 2536 2x12 cabs are proper fingerjointed ply or mdf? I know for a period they were not ply but does anyone have ideas on when? And how can I identify one over the other? Serial number? Etc Thanks

    Marshall Origin Series Amplifiers

    Credit where it's due, I think this is much more in line with what people have been wanting from Marshall and they have delivered(design wise anyways). Will how it sounds in person. I have always said the perfect Marshall would be the vintage modern but based on el34 instead of kt66. Tilt is a...

    Thinking About Buying A Vintage Modern 2466

    I've owned 2266, 2466 and DSL50...the VM's are a bit lower in volume but its not so much an issue of volume but head room. I feel the 2466 is the pick of the bunch as the 4x kt66's round out the preamp section nicer than the 2266 in my opinion. 2266 is a bit too compressed. Prefer LDR on 2266...

    Vintage Modern And...

    Here is a clip I did a while ago. It's my Vintage Modern with Keeley TS808 and Velvet Effect Minotaur (Klon Clone, similar to Tumnus). From my perspective, the Tumnus would not be redundant. It will just offer 'more' of what you already have in terms of volume and gain. Doesnt colour the sound...

    Should I Trade My Jcm 900mkiii For A Jcm 2000 50w Dsl?

    I had both at the same time and the JCM900 mkiii is a better sounding amp for mid to high level gain. Don't swap it. Get it serviced, change tubes and set it up right. It does its job better side by side. My opinion.

    Vintage 30s With Vintage Modern????

    I thought about configuring 2 x Greenback and 2 V30's but the whole concept of mixing speakers does my head in. Which one would you mic??

    Vintage Modern 5751 Tube

    I just purchased a 5751 tube for my VM as I want to test lowering the gain on the HDR. Which position should I put it in for best impact? Thanks

    Vintage Modern Sales

    Because they dont make them anymore and if enough people on forums like this start singing their praises, people will follow and all of a sudden the vintage modern 'is' actually the amp everyone wanted :) etc etc

    Vintage Modern Sales

    Lots of questions about Vintage Modern's here recently. Interest is increasing it seems. We called it a while ago saying that eventually it would become the new modern classic Marshall. Pick one up now before we're paying over $1500 for them :)

    fender bassbreaker

    MArshall should have jumped on this platform a long time ago. I've always called out for a Vintage Modern with EL34's and MV or even better, power scalling like this one.

    Vintage Modern

    I think now we can start using the word 'better' :). I didn't like them with the vintage modern. IMO the G12T75 are better suited for modern sounding amps. Although I dont use them with my DSL, I think they do sound good with DSL's (and JVMs'). But its not really the right speaker for the...

    Vintage Modern

    For sure! The DSL is spawned of the Plexi>JCM800>DSL range. The Vintage Modern is JTM45>Vintage Modern. So they are different DNA and compliment each other well. You'd pretty much cover most historical Marshall sounds if you had those two amps. Maybe except for a Jubilee. But I think you...

    Vintage Modern

    Better is way too subjective for form a conclusion. The amp might not be your cup of tea. But maybe better means 'feels more like an older marshall'(which people associate with 'betterness') :)

    Dsl and vintage modern

    Both amps have the 'Marshall' sound. DSL is voiced similar to other Marshalls - JCM800, JVM, JCM900 etc...follows that line of amps. Vintage Modern is very different. In my opinion you will struggle to get the DSL to sound like the Vintage Modern. The KT66's give that amp such a different...

    Who is buying a mini Jubilee?

    Very different...The labour and boat materials are going to be very expensive for those extra 80'. The couple of feet of extra ply for the amp will not be...and the labour mostly likely remains the same.

    Who is buying a mini Jubilee?

    Not sure I understand the price issues people seem to be having with the Silver Jubilee mini's. Could you imagine buying a $100,000 Mercedes and asking for cheaper wheels and smaller engine then requesting that you only pay $50,000 (for the some model)? Doesn't work that way. Less wood...
