My modded Marshall - Lay It Down

[zz666]

Everything at 12 o'clock, Timeline in loop. Les Paul Custom with Aldrich in bridge.

I realise I missed a chord, but hey it's just a quick test, what do you guys think of the tone, I'm very happy with the aggression and bark.

 

[ghosty999]

Silky tone dude, sounds great!

Bad freaking ass yo! I just got a Marshall JVM that I cant stop playing but that 800 of yours gives me goose bumps. Nice playing too! Do you have an overdrive up front?

 

[zz666]

Thank you - I do use an SD1 for solo's, but that's all amp gain in the clip.

 

[slyym]

Sweet! I don't remember 800s having that much gain, is it modded at all?

 

[Racerxrated]

Sounds great! Who did the mod?

 

[zz666]

Thanks man , the mods were done by Warwicke Newman of Tone Revival Engineering in Melbourne Australia.

 

[K-Roll]

great tones... what speakers do you have in that marshall cab? it just ooozes tone

 

[SpiderWars]

That sounds really good. What are the basics of the mod? Added tubes? FX loop? Extra controls?

 

[mooncobra]

sounds good!

 

[MetalHeadMike]

Sounds Awesome!

Always wanted to try a modded JCM. Had bought a JMP 2203 master volume and sent it to Voodoo amps, but after 8 months I finally got sick of dealing with the guy and had him send it back to me un-modded. Sold the amp, regrettably.

Yeah that thing sounds great... sounds like he kept the voicing and just gently coaxed more gain through the various stages. That's the way to do it. Also, what more can you say about the SD-1. I like most OD's in front of an 800 but the SD-1 just gains it up so nice and makes leads or heavier rythms a breeze. Easily competes with any modded Marshall in a blind listening test time and time again.

 

[zz666]

The cab is a '67 with greenbacks.
It has a tube fx loop (that tube provides some of the gain) and on the back it has send and return knobs plus a resonance knob.

Tried tons of pedals in front, but for soloing, nothing sits better (for that amp) than the SD1

Thanks again guys, it's a mean sounding rig.

 

[Racerxrated]

Yeah it sounds killer. The only thing I don't like about an SD1 boosting a Marshall is the low end strip they do..but if you have a resonance/bass boost it shouldn't matter.

 

[zz666]

For soloing, I think the cut in low end helps personally

 

[paulyc]

^ I agree

 

[Marshalll]

Great sound

 

[zz666]

Thanks man

Ive been interested in trying an sd-1 in front of marshall style amps i have.

Are you guys using cuurent production sd-1's, or do i need to go down the vintage rabbit hole to get 'that' sound?

You could buy a new WAZA....
