Interesting, never know what can work till you try it. Had quite a few Twins over the years, all silverface. Never keep them very long, so heavy! This Princeton somehow keeps up with the drummer and has a pretty fat tone. Could be 6v6’s, sounds surprisingly good. We have a 65 Deluxe...
1965 Blackface Fender Princeton Reverb…TS-9 into Boss Blues Driver. Going to try a JHS AT + next time. I still can’t get over how good this sounds. I play rock, fusion, funk etc.
I’ve been doing something similar with my Tonex pedal. Captured three of my Marshalls and Wizard. Put the Tonex in a small pedalboard and running it into my Blackface Fender Princeton Reverb for band practice. Surprised it sounds good.
The Smallbox I played thru was great for all those tones you mentioned.
The Metroplex if you want VH tone seems like it will do it. It’s on the way, maybe play it and see what it does.
A friend has the SV20 as well as a 72 50watt and mid 70’s 100 watt Marshalls. He loves the SV20...
I picked up a 2010 Standard just like yours a couple months ago. Has the 50’s neck which is big and tall frets, stock pickups. Quite a bit different than my SG Custom neck. It is a fretless wonder. Way different feel.
It is surprising. It was filthy inside, took two solid afternoons cleaning the board and temoving the copper ground bus bar, it was black!
WGS ET 65 speaker is in it for now.
That amp is hilarious. Bought it not working for cheap, easy fix to get working. Someone also tried to mod it, I put it back to stock and did a bunch of maintenance on it. Looking at the schematic, they basically borrowed heavily from a Mark II.
A bunch of various videos of this model...
Found my tone long time ago. Probably 92-93. Modded a Marshall, ran it thru a loadbox, thru some fx then into two Marshall amp power sections into some 412 cabs. JC120 for cleans…lots to haul.
Scaled it down to my 69 Plexi into a 412 and some pedals…ultimately landed with my Wizard MC1 Rick...
Bought my first Cobra in ‘98 and has been my main guitar ever since. Refretted it 5 times over the years, finally with SS. Added another Cobra and Hollow T Classic. Great guitars. Have others but these see the most time.
I haven’t used those but I have the SPC in my old lipstick pickup Talman. Works great for fattening them up and more humbucking sounding.
Also the PA2 and Afterburner preamps work good.
Probably best way to go about it. I don’t think there were many of these cabs made back in the day. Doubtful any logos would still be around, but maybe.
I have two of those cabs. The logos are much larger than the current logos. Also the material is pretty thin to bend around the multi dispersion baffle.
The ghosting drives me nuts. Tried the 100/100 for mains filtering with zero difference. Put the 50/50’s back in. Seems to only do it on CH 1. Going to try replacing the coupling and bright caps and see if that fixes it.
I don’t have to log on to the program manager. Only time I open that is to check for updates.
Had a hard time getting mine to open in Logic, but that has been resolved. Actually recorded with it using a capture of my 68 SuperTremolo.
Sorry you are still having issues.
For me, I can practice scales, picking exercises non stop for a couple hours at a time. With a loadbox and speaker volume low it is easy for me to forget the amp itself is still cranked. I would never play / practice like that, amp cranked for two plus hours straight into a cabinet. The...
If I had one sitting here I would try it, doubt anything happen. Ive done plenty of things over the decades that should have killed my amps and they were never hurt.
Practicing thru a PS etc for two plus hours straight with the amp on 8 and no fan on it…yeah learned my lesson on that. 🔥🔥🔥 😄
