Need to fund the Wizard I just unexpectedly picked up so moving this on given I have like 3 Marshall styled amps already.
Bought this brand new in August and I had Nik from Ceriatone factory mod it to add switches which lets you go between the 1987 Lead circuit and the 1986 Bass circuit, see...
I'm liking the presence at 2:00 but just tried it at 3:00 & 4:00 and it immediately felt like my Monomyth actually, maybe a bit more Marshall-y? Maybe just removed some of the Wizard squawking? All cool sounds so far. I've my treble at 3:00 at the moment....which is also where I keep it on my...
So I'm probably in a similar camp tone wise. Using it for harder rock at the moment and finding I like the bass at 4 too. Playing with the Pull Shift I'm finding it removes some woofiness when pulled, maybe a more modern sound. I think I prefer it pulled out with the gain up, haven't tried any...
Ah I forgot about the brights on the back, what's their deal?
It's got presence on the front so not sure how to interpret those, but I've also only played it for like 20mins so far.
I'm a sucker for the default styling of amps usually, helps build the brand to match styling with product in my mind.
Fantastic job on the tolex work though.
EDIT: 6 months later scored an MTL for even cheaper
Just picked up this MCII for $3700, possibly my least favorite tolex option but for that price I'll live. Who's got some recommended settings or an explanation of how the fuck the channels and pull gain/boosts work? I've been keeping an eye...
Just the tonestack? I've got a Plexi clone that I had modded to be switchable to Super Bass and it's essentially just three switches difference.
a) Be able to switch V1A cathode cap/resistor from 2K7/0.68 to 1K/330uF
b) Be able to change tonestack from 33K/500pF to 56K/500pF
c) Be able to...
It's based on real life modded Plexis he's encountered over the years, so probably nothing like his BE.
In one of the videos he said there two main presence circuits to choose from, a late 60s and mid 70s style.
Think I heard Dave say in some NAMM video that there will be a "stock" setting for old school Plexi tones...wonder how that compares to his Plex? Considering offloading my current Plexi clone for this if it can.
JCM2000. Sounded way better than my friends 900 at the time but I honestly can't remember shit about it 15+ years later. Had the bias drift issues, my local tech didn't really fix it so it died a second time like a week later, then I moved halfway across the country and lost it.
I'm tempted to...
