    Marshall 30th Anniversary Series thread (6100 / 6101)

    Hi guys, I think I'm going to replace all eletrolytic caps, my amp is from 1992 :D I have some question though - did any of you use non-audio caps in the amp? I am talking about big ones, like 220uF 400V. These seem to be Nichicon LK series, well it seems that all new audio series have 1000...

    JJ Tubes

    Just my 2 cents See attachment, had same issue. I didn't cut it, I wondered if they've joined 2 parts of glass in factory because it looks so perfectly cut. I've tested preamp tubes many times in many amps, had some fails with Sovtek LPS, but never had issue like this. Anyway it...

    1960ADM NCD + Does Marshall use MDF or particle(chip) board for cabinet back panel?

    Hi, Question first: Some people say that Marshall uses MDF / particle board for cabinet back panel. Now, I wonder, if that's really MDF or just simple particle board ?(which is low density). I want to remove birch back panel from my 1960ADM and put some MDF or particle board (whatever is...

    Ncd - mf400a

    Did you compare it to Mesa before you've changed speakers? (old ones should be more similar to Mesa v30s)

    Preamp Tubes? - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

    Imho old Marshall chinese tubes with square getter are very nice for high-gain sounds-they have nice gain, but are still clear/crunchy/have nice bite. Similar to Sovtek 12ax7WB, but just overall better. New chinese tubes are warmer/mode mid focused, tighter, imho they lack that aggresive...

    Electro Harmonix EL34 vs. JJ E34L

    I had DSL401? combo. Definitely more compressed sound. Nice amp, amazing price. I wanted to buy old DSL100 - could get that cheap. Also it sounded amazing when I tested it (it was on different cab, in different room). Then I went to this guy with my 6100 and we both agreed that mine sounds...

    Electro Harmonix EL34 vs. JJ E34L

    I hope I won't get killed by refreshing this thread, I'll just add my opinion, maybe it will help someone in the future. I own 1992 Marshall 6100 (30th anniversary) without LM mod. I don't think that it sound awesome as some people says - it's not so full sounding like old jcm800,it's more...

    Help me identify Marshall 6100 ECC83 tube. (+my opionion about ruby-sovtek-jj)

    Hi, I changed 2 tubes in my Marshall 6100 today- position V2(crunch, lead), V3(lead). The best tube I like is - probably stock - Marshall ECC83 tube. There is no additional code on this tube. It's 2nd tube from right on the photo with 4 tubes(tubz.jpg), and the one on the left on 1st...

    Addicted to boost pedals, why and what's wrong???

    Because that's Marshall signature sound. Stock, unboosted Marshall amp isn't suited (I haven't played 410 though) for tight modern metal. Because it's tube amp hahaha. Solid state amps are much tighter. So many players use solid state pedals to enhance tube amps hahaha (nothing wrong there...

    Is the jvm410hjs really that much better than the jvm410h?

    Have you seen EVH 5150 footswitch issue video? It's no longer on internet but that channel switching was crazy fast...but random. :applause:

    kerry king 800

    I don't have issues with KK Tribal. People play Peaveys with trucker chicks or Mesa amps with diamond plates... to be honest I don't get this rage about tribal on a amp designed for hard rock/metal. Anyway I like old jcm800 better, even for metal - I think it has more midrange.But as someone...

    Any 6534+ owners out there?

    The tone is brighter, but it doesn't have much more high treble, just more upper mids. To me it sounds more alive, punchier. Not so modern (think metalcore) like 6505. IMHO the difference is not that big but it's definitely there (it's also bigger than you would expect from changing power...

    Is trading my '74 Superbass fro a 6100 a good idea?

    Interesting. In know that Marshall is from UK and Shiva from US but you can get 2 Marshalls for Shiva price in Europe. Super Bass is cheaper than 2203/2204/1987/1959... BTW. I own 6100 EL34 black edition (non-lm), so it's like blue one. If you want one good sound keep your superbass. If...

    YJM100 Prices Going Up

    Too many wall street guys using ebay. :lol: Same with some Gibsons. They buy limited edition guitars and just keep them in basement to get the revenue. Same with old Peavey Wolfgangs. Really. It sucks hard. Anyway prices will drop eventually.

    Marshall JCM 800 2203 1982 - is this genuine

    Hi Question 1: I would like to know if it looks OK, genuine. I've found some pictures of jcm800 guts but almost every one was little different, especially this part: And here is the one that I am going to buy, seller says it was checked by Marshall Service(sorry, English isn't my...
