Incoming Martin Golub Marshall Mod

[jerrydyer]

I had the Golub mod and it was nuclear! Perfect Doug Aldrich tone. I would say that he does a lot of work inside and nice work at that. It isn't just your .022 over a 2.7, he does some pretty neat things that makes his pretty unique sounding. Gets clever with how he uses power for the extra gain stage on mine and he also had a copper shield to prevent noise. Very nice work!

a good friend of mine recently had a MV and an effects loop installed on a NMV Marshall for $700.00, does that sound like a good deal?

it was a good deal for the tech. thats like maybe $300 , maybe $400 at the absolute highest . I do a tube loop for $250 and the metro one a little cheaper than that

it was a metro loop I believe

Metro loop kit 90 bucks, PPIMV kit 13 bucks, paying 700 for the install = GANG RAPE by Pacino and friends.

It's like getting your vehicle fixed. I just paid $1100 for an exaust leak, $150 in parts and the rest labor. Bang!

get another mechanic my friend.

isnt Martin Golub's crunch mod the SE+ mod that John Suhr did for custom audio when he was there???? im pretty damn sure that its John's mod that Martin uses right?

maybe a few tweeks for the specific amp that being modded

Funny you should say that because my buddy brought the Suhr mod in and to my ears it was the same damn thing!

Im pretty sure that Martin was hired by CAE to help John with the backlog of amps... I know Martin still mods the amps and Suhr has moved onto his new designs/heads/cabs/guitars... You can find a Suhr Modded Marshall once in a while... they do fetch $1800 to $2200 for one. They are very good mods to... very quiet and the SE+ is just a wicked mod. I like the voicing, but I do like the PT voicing a bit more...

SE+ mod= low mid voicing/high gain w/ singing leads... like the CAE 3+SE preamp (still available by CAE)
PT upper mids (just where they need to be) cuts in a band perfectly.More of a Marshall sound.. or what a Marshall should be

FWIW
