Brain mash coming up but interesting.
The video starts around the point the tech talks about the amps. I believe this amp is a Marshall Super Lead Model 1959?
The tech says that the amp was modded to add a Master volume.
Here is the 4-holer I am talking about.
So it seems that they modded volume 2 so that it is now a Master volume. The tech says they did it to add more gain.
So it seems Angus Young is aiming for something that works more like a JCM with a Master volume. I doubt 8 is for gain but PT distortion. He is using the high-sensitivity input and volume 1 as a pre-amp.
Those dialings are something else.
I suppose that since this is a mod he did after all their main albums, that he was doing this another way. Jumping maybe? Also why not a JCM800 instead? Or maybe he did that?
Anyway, interesting. Maybe others can shed more light on this one.
