Had an 83 Canadian 2203, that to this day, was probably the best sounding 800 I've heard. Had an 81 Canadian 2204 that was not great. Both amps were stock and in proper working condition. So typical Marshall.....it depends..... 2 BIG issues for me with the Canadian amps: the fuses on the extra...

Amp sounds decent in the video. If it will only go to 23ma with EL34's, then it will likely bias 6550's properly. I'd try that first, and see what you think with the amp properly biased. Those boards are a bitch to work on, and the traces are really fragile. If you are thinking about swapping...

Yes! the fixed depth ( cap and resistor ) must be in series with the NFB resistor. Remove the purple wire from the impedance selector, hang the resistor / cap combo off the 4 ohm tab, and connect the purple wire to the other side of the resistor / cap.

OK. It would be easy enough to adjust to taste, or just not use it / remove it. Shouldn't be a factor in your decision to purchase or not, other than the 2 holes drilled in the panel.

Yeah, that looks like a depth mod to me as well. That seems like an odd value cap to use though ( .02uf ) I would expect to hear only a very low frequency sub-bass boost with that value. A .0047uf cap is usually used for a depth circuit. How does it sound?

Thanks for doing this :rock: They all sound great, but after adjusting for equal playback volume of each clip in my listening room, I like the Monomyth best. At first playback, the Hermy and the Cam sounded best because they are louder.

Mmmmmmmmm .......junk steel......... Marshall probably contracted out the Origin trafo's to the lowest bidder in some obscure Asian locale to try and keep the cost as low as possible. However............ Ho - Lee - Fuk........do them damn transformers sound good. :inlove: Total sleeper mod...

Congrats on the new setup! Looks really cool. I feel your pain re: moving. We moved last July. What a shit-show.... Still gonna be another month probably, until my music room is done. Also, glad to see I'm not the only guy with a Captor X, a Suhr RL, and a cab M LOL! They all have their...

Yup, I'm thinkin' the Sylvania's are the gold here, with the RCA's sounding really good in anything "Fender-ish". Never been wowed by most other American NOS 12ax7's in guitar amps. Tough as nails, but not that tonefull for anything with gain. I like the Sylvania's because they seem to have...

The black bands can either face each other, or be on opposite ends. It will work either way. Technically, it shouldn't matter which way you do it, but i hear a slight difference in tone each way. Can't say one direction is better than the other, just different. Put 2 configurations on an...

Or.... if you're handy with a soldering iron, you could pick up an Origin 20 or 50 for cheap and do these mods... This is from forum member Burger, or Headfirst Amplification: I scored an Origin 50 at the local big box for C$400 ( approx $315 USD) and followed the vid, and the docs Jason has...

Holy shit :shocked: Not too well versed in the Ozzy / Randy / Jake / Zak history, but that clip is f'n amazing...... Much respect to Mr J.E.L :rawk: ps.: One of my fav things about this place is that you guys post clips that I would never have seen otherwise.... Carry on :rock:

Sorry, a little OT, but thanks for the heads-up on the Laney. (y) I was not familiar with that amp, so searched and downloaded the schematic. Interesting power supply rail and filtering arrangement. Schematics with the voltages listed for the nodes is always very instructive as well.

Based on scarcety, $3-4k. Based on tone, $1k The Slash AFD tone is indeed thin and scratchy. It works for Slash in a classic rock band mix, but it's an acquired taste for sure. A beefy sounding guitar with darker low output pickups is a must, as stated above.

Yup, the next step in the Madonna / Lady Gaga continuum of self-promotion.

Been outta the loop for a bit.....This is some really good shit :rock: Just spent a couple hours going down the u tube rabbit hole, checking out what these guys have been up to, and I'm diggin' it ! Biggest surprise for me was Smith's vocal chops. didn't expect that :thumbsup: Yup! but...

FUK!!!!! I would have been so down with this, but I just relocated from Mississauga 7 hrs north, off grid, out in the middle of nowhere. I hope my former GTA bro's can make this happen, and I look forward to the reports! And yeah, there's a lot of heavy players in the GTA with some serious gear...

Yeah, and an over the top filtering scheme. Someone mentioned the Orange drop caps. I certainly wouldn't call them cheap, as they are a quality brand of caps, but they do have a sound to them. Like every other amp, its the sum of the parts. There is really no mystery to how Rick gets the...

Jazz bass > api3124 > 1176 = :rock:
