    History of Operadio- Dawn of High Gain Amps

    Reviving an old thread! Many years ago a friend of mine got some truly great tone with a 1965 SG standard into an Operadio 1A30 and a 2x12, not unlike what one would expect from say an old NMV Marshall 50. Zoom forward a couple decades, I have two 1A30s out in my shed that someday I’m going to...

    Trainwreck Express, What Class?

    GK here, the guy on Youtube with the Trainwreck amp videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/GlenKuykendall The Express is class A/B as far as I know. It has the typical fixed bias setup and push pull output stage like a Marshall 50, but it has no choke just a huge resistor in it's place. It...

    Marshall 50 full stack w/'59 Les Paul filmed back in 1981...

    I recently found my exact old original 50 watt Marshall in my videos. I had sold that amp in about '84 or '85. However to get it back I'll need to find a similar one to trade for it, as the current owner really likes it! So, now looking for an "A" serial number "small box" lead (1987) spec...

    The other amp under the small box was a '75 Marshall 50. I bought that one in high school for a token $150. It had a bent up front panel so the owner let it go cheap. I got most of the bend out of the panel and used the amp as a backup. I don't have that one either anymore. Currently I...

    Marshall 50 full stack w/'59 Les Paul filmed back in 1981...

    Thanks! Back then I had 4 pedals and a homemade power supply for them. MXR micro chorus, BIG JAM flanger, Cry Baby wah, and an on/off switch to change guitars. I didn't use any boosts or overdrives. The amp was set on: volume & bass 10, treble and presence 6, mids 4 and I'm pretty sure I...

    Marshall 50 full stack w/'59 Les Paul filmed back in 1981...

    UPDATE on the amp. I just talked with the last known seller. Even though we haven't turned up info on the next buyer he told me he had restored the cabinet. It still had a fan cut into the side back in '04, but he says he filled the hole in with plywood and recovered that end before he sold it...

    Marshall 50 full stack w/'59 Les Paul filmed back in 1981...

    This is my first post here on the Marshall forum, just joined up. I recently rediscovered some old video footage of me back when we were all only 18-21 year old kids, I had really long hair, and a very FAT sounding 1970 model 50 watt "small box" 50 stack. Uh, a '59 Les Paul too. Here is the...
