After doing this mod a few times now, I can basically bang it out in about 3-5 days if I have all the parts. Unfortunately, I don't have everything I need at the moment. So I've gone as far as I can until stuff arrives.
This time it's on my personal '70 Super Trem. When this one was built, Marshall tapped the B+ for the tremolo circuit at the wrong place, putting 515v on V1. When you turned the amp on, it would go crazy with noise and weird sounds for a bit until it calmed down a bit. But the trem circuit in...
Just tried the M65s with my Hiwatt and it's not bad actually. That amp is tight as all hell and quite bright, so the softness of the M65s kind of evens it out. Will need to really crank it though. This was at apartment-living volume. Loud enough to shake the floor, but not quite loud enough to...
See this is the exact opposite of my experience. My H75s are anything but scooped. They have more of a mid-range bark/growl than any other speaker I've tried—including V30s, M25 Greenbacks, H30s, Scumback BM75, CL-80, G12-65, G12T-75, and now the M65 Creamback. To my ears, the T-75 is the most...
That's the confusing part to me. My H75s have a more grinding, full mid-range than any M-magnet speaker I've tried and also compared to Ted's M25 Creambacks. You should be able to hear the difference in all the clips I posted recently. My Bogner cab with the black grill has the H75s and the...
I guess I'm just not hearing this hollow mids thing people keep mentioning about the H75s. Mine seem to be quite full and musical and muscular sounding.
I'm not gonna swap the speakers because the H75 cab sounds SO good. I don't want to risk messing with it haha. But I just tapped on both cabs (top, back, sides) and I don't hear any signifiant difference.
Both have similar mid-range grind. But I just hot-swapped back and forth between each cab and the H75s sound so much better. More clarity, less "smooshed together" as my girlfriend just said after I had her listen to both. She said the Bogner cab with M65s sounds like an old car radio haha. It's...
I've had G12H-75 Creambacks (8 ohm) in a Bogner straight 4x12 for many years. It's my go-to cab. I have another, similar Bogner cab that came with V30s. I just got some M65 Creambacks (new), also 8 ohm to replace the V30s. I figured the M and H would be similar—and they are in some ways. But the...
The little square zip tie anchors I've been using have been going strong for about 20 years. I've not tried removing one though. But they haven't fallen off yet.
I don't necessarily agree with that. Bright caps add... brightness. Depending on the value, you can get more mid-range gain. But a hard-hitting clank or "clunk" (lol) can be anything. The amps I've been building lately have not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR low-pass filters killing high-end and they...
What is the actual "sound" you're after from either the Wizard or a Marshall? A combination of the two in some way? Post some clips of the sound you're searching for.
I can. But I'm trying to keep a vintage amp vintage-ish for now. I found some 200v versions that are slightly larger and should fit. But they're coming Europe. Won't be here for a month.
