Overdrive?

2203s & 2204's of course. My fist Marshall was a channel switching 2205 and it was pretty cool. Kinda buzzy sounding but I didn't know much about Marshall or amps in general back then. I traded that for a 1974 Superlead. Had that for decades as my main amp. Now I have a 2203 and that rips!

Buying a pedal to fill a space....interesting logic.

JCM 800 + SD-1 = Just about every 80s hair / metal guiatist's rig back in the 80s /90s. What an original sound. LOL Cool videos! Thanks for sharing.

All this VH tone chasing from newbies just discovering him & his brown sound is getting really silly after all these years. Just Google it. It's not hard to dial in that sound with a PLEXI or 2203.

Not music related but Eduard isn't shipping to the US either now. They're in the Czech Republic. They manufacture scale models and accessories. What a drag. They make killer models and that's my wintertime weekend morning fun. I can still buy from US retailers but I'd like to order right from them.

No. I have a few cheap guitars with cheap hardware, and they sound great for gigging.

Yeah, we need a special addition MXR EQ with noisy, vintage op amps and ceramic caps. It can have the KISS sticker on it too! Maybe it'll have a pre-set button too for Dime's settings.

It's about dignity and being a decent human being not a talent comparison.

Any more than 120 bucks is too much for ANY pickup. I don't care if the devel himself made it. a Lot of pickup builders rip the crap off of people.

His son, Wolfe is probably laughing his ass off at how stupid this whole thing is.

I agree. Why not just use a 50-dollar overdrive pedal if you want more? Sounds better to me than the mods.

Why chase the VH1 tone? Ed hated the way his guitar sounded on the album. LOL.

No.

He doesn't get the greatest tones out his amps in general IMO but he's great at making comparison videos. Yeah, his amps seem to lack gain to me. LOL My Superlead and 2203 blow his amps away lol

After listening to the raw tracks from VH1, I don't understand why some people think he was getting more distortion from his amp compared to other of the same type. Sure, maybe his sounded a little different, or maybe better than others in his opinion. Or maybe had a tube in V1 that just gave...

Ed's amp sounded like a cranked PLEXI should. What are you talking about? He didn't have that much gain back then but very typical for PLEXI. Ed could have used just about any other PLEXI and after the studio EQ and mastering, it would have sounded similar.

I roll V1 tubes once in while in my 2203 clone. I have old JAN 12AX7s and new production of various brands. I mostly listen for microphonics. I try to listen for more gain if I can but in that type of circuit, all of my tubes new and old SOUND practically the same. Very difficult to hear tonal...

The bright cap is a stock 1000pF value. As pointed out, an extra resistor was added to the cold clipper 10K resistor. Can't make out the value but that resistor parallel to the original 10K lowers the total value to add more gain. I have tried this, and it can sound great. I would try with and...

Yeah, she sounded awful. Probably was embarrassed as hell after watching & listing to it afterwards. LOL
