Scored a 6100LM recently, love it except for one thing - it has a hum (electrical sounding) when switched on, even with nothing plugged into the input or fx loop. The hum is audible even in standby, the only way to kill it is to disconnect the speaker cable (in standby, I'm not ever gonna do...
Dunno what's going on there, but it's running fine on 240V so I might leave that alone (no exposed wires or anything unsafe, just looks like someone took to it badly with a screwdriver).
What's a JMP-1 rack pre worth in your part of the world??
Ummm - because I generally deal in NEW stuff... & being in a fairly isolated part of the world it's not like eBay & our equivalent of Craigslist are overflowing with old amps to get an idea of a benchmark from!
Got a good customer that has brought in a few of his old Marshall to sell: a 6100 head (straight into my personal collection, don't tell the missus... especially coz the 1st time she'll see it will be on her birthday this saturday night), a JMP-1 preamp in immaculate condition, & a JMP MkII as...
I'll start - your ear's frequency response differs at different levels (hence the 'loudness' button on stereos that boosts the bass to give a fuller sound at low volumes). As you turn up your amp how you perceive it to sound will change.

(not my work, all kudos to BRMSlash over at the metroamp forums)
Mercury Magnetics do the transformers (noy cheap though!!)...from memory the modded schematic is from this thread: Some Mods for Marshall Class 5 - Les Paul Forums
+1 to that!!
Me too - hopefully they'll release the clean channel earlier!! :naughty:
Seriously though, the clean channel cranked is sounding like my goto sound for when I get an SL5
Anybody else here think Slash's tone has been total shite ever since the AFD album??? The guy still sound like himself (& is easy to pick out by his guitar sound alone) despite having having been forever separated from the holy grail since 1987!!
IMO his best tone ever was the guitar intro to...
I pulled mine out of the box the day I got it & threw it in the car to go to a gig (I hadn't even demoed it - I took the word of a very good friend who already had one.... I hadn't heard his either).... Only had 5 minutes of sound check, so I put everything on 5 & used the 4 green modes -...
