After owning and selling several Marshalls (JCM 800 2203, 2204, 2203 KK, 900 SL-X, JVM 410H, 3 TSL 100's) I am now down to 1 Marshall; I just sold the last of my TSL's and another of my cabinets...
Still have 4 Marshall cabs and 1 Bogner.
the only Marshall I have kept is the one in my sig, which is now modded to the bone :
Originally, it was a JMP 1959 SLP but guys over here pointed it out that the chassis was not original but the components all were...(although the new chassis also had some holes in it from previous mods (that were undone before I got it).
- The headshell was replaced years ago (still have the worn original black one).
The original one was badly retolexed by the previous owner(s)..
So far the mods at that point were only cosmetically...
Now a few months ago I have it modded by a guy in my neighbourhood.
He mostly used the holes that already were in that chassis.
So, what has been done :
- Footswitchable "Dookie" mod : so there is a separate "clean 1959" channel that also has a master volume and gain and there is a high gain channel (Dookie mod) that also has a master volume and gain.
- Solo Boost (footswitchable) ; there is a pot on the back were you can dial in the amount of boost.
- Resonance control knob on the back.
- 3 position bright switch on the back for a more open sound.
- Very good effects loop (which can be put out of the signal path if you want with a switch).
