Murder Marshall

That 800 is killer. I’m having a face plate with grey lettering just like that made for this JMP.

That thing is strict!

 

[Mr. Willy]

I dig it!

Nah. Leave it along.

But that 800 looks bad ass too.

Looks so mean and clean.

Just needs leaner, sharper shaped knobs and possibly a green or purple jewel light. Maybe blacked out toggle switches and input jacks. Still looks good as is. I would hook it up with a black EVH cab.

 

[SFW]

That looks sick! Very nice!

Is there a chrome Marshall logo available? Or a convincing chrome paint? For something like a Harley themed head. Chrome pointy knobs/etc. That could look cool.

 

[Sitedrifter]

it needs a dark blue pilot light.

Thanks, Shea... I went with a black logo at first. But it was too dark. Gray was just right.

I went ahead and replaced the grill cloth on my 72’ Marshall cab today. The original was beat and torn. I used large checker cloth and deleted the piping. I think it matches the head so much better now...

That amp looks great! If you have a spare, paint the Marshall logo on the cab to match the head, that will make it even badder.

Good suggestions on blacked out switch rings and smaller knobs. I did both today.

I think a blue indicator light would also look great as mentioned above.

Here’s an updated pic. Added a purple LED indicator light from a Vintage Modern Marshall. It’s a easy install. Direct replacement, but you’ll need to insert a resistor between the power and LED so it wont blow. I used 470 ohm.

What is that?!?!?!

What is that?!?!?!

This is an amp I originally modded and sold to Jeremy, it’s demoed on Reza’s channel, he modified himself to add different options, he’s the only person I’ve ever offered help to because I knew he was competent and safe to do so.

It’s killer!

This is correct. This was a Monomyth Black Sun 1974 Super Lead. Shea has been awesome with helping me to alter the amp to my specific needs. He took a lot of time and effort to explain the basics of modding and how things work. I’m very grateful for the knowledge he’s shared with me.

I essentially built upon his design to get where I wanted with it. It’s still got the Monomyth DNA at higher gain levels, no doubt. With his guidance, I learned a ton about working on these amps and have since modded my own JCM800 from stock to a fairly high gain, great sounding amp with some cool options. I still know about 2% of a real amp builder, but I know a lot more than I used to and have become a lot more self sufficient.

For reference, this is what this amp used to look like:

That’s nice of you to say but you were well equipped with safety and knowledge before that amp landed, I’m stoked it stayed home, a cool story and more to add. Best.
