Mostly done! Just waiting on a few more parts to arrive before buttoning it up. But it's playable.

Is that first one a Canadian market amp? They usually had metal toggle switches though. But they also had that fused board inside and only two impedance taps, not all three. I read they had lower voltage PTs though. Werid. That second one also has a different PT. It's a laydown version. And...

I had high hopes for the M65s. I listened to tons of clips A/B'ing them against every other speaker, including H75s, which I have. I liked what I heard in many of the clips. But I just couldn't get a good sound out of them. By contrast, many people say the H75s sound fizzy and lack mids and are...

Are these vertical input models you're talking about? I've only ever seen reports of these having very low voltages. The '81 2204 I just looked at has the 1202-342/1 PT and has a Vp of 398v. The 2203 I have on my bench (early model as well) has ~400v too. I though they got higher voltages as the...

I'm not 100% positive most of that stuff is even on or being used. The voltage regulator at the bottom is off. The Furman is off. The two small units above it are off. The TC is off. The Line6 is off, etc.

Rad! My gf just walked by while I was watching, threw up the horns, and yelled, "HEAVY METAL GRANDPAS!"

I have a Bogner 4x12 with M65 Creambacks. I brought it over to Exo-Metal's place the other day and we played four different amps through it: two modded Marshalls (Super Lead, Super Trem), a stock/boosted 2204, and a Mark IIC+. I also played my Hiwatt Super-Hi 50 through it recently. I foolishly...

Watching now. It's interesting he didn't know what a "hot shield" was when he made this video. He said he'd never seen such a thing before. But it's a fairly common method of shielding grid wires while at the same time shaving off highs due to Miller capacitance interaction. Kind of a silly...

I actually don't know for sure. I always see people mention the vertical input as being better. I do know the horizontal input amps have PCB-mounted pots. Not a bad thing in and of itself. But I can't use these amps for the mods I do because I need access to the pot lugs.

Whatchya gonna do with that 2203 when you get it?

...is awesome. Just saying ;) Fortin Grind —> vertical input 2204 —> Fryette PS-2A —> Bogner 4x12 w/G12H-75s What a great sound. Open, uncompressed, and angry. The Power Station really adds a ton of aggression and low-end punch if you dial it right and use it as a second power amp instead of...

They're still pretty delicate haha. I've found a few different work arounds. This particular amp also had a weird repair/mod to the board that looks factory. Marshall did some odd things. I'm having a lot of fun building these. I'm getting pretty quick at it too. I can punch/drill the chassis...

Yep

First time doing this mod to a Marshall with a PCB. I've heard the traces on Marshall's ST1 board are fragile as hell and I can confirm that's true. I'm surprised they don't disintegrate the first time someone plays a power chord lol. But if you're careful you can make it work. This one belongs...

When you buy them, you can select the cable...

In the last 25 years, I've had the best results with Gotham GAC-1 Ultra Pro cable and Redco's Gepco XB20UB. Just buy it in bulk and slap on your favorite plugs (Neutrik for me). You can also get really great cables at good prices on Amazon from World's Best Cables. They use Gotham.

Where is this from? Link?

I saw them open for Mesghuggah recently, with Carcass. I wasn't impressed, but the singer was kinda entertaining in that he's like 75% neck and screams at the crowd about ejaculating blood.

Could have me build you one. Ceriatone got the layout/schematic for this circuit from me in the first place. But the schematic they pilfered from SLO Clone forum was incomplete. So they never really got the circuit right. The version I build differs slightly from the Meshuggah though. Just...

One of the better Friedman amps I've heard. Friedman amps tend to fall on the tamer end of the spectrum, but this one has some nice growl.
