And most bass spec Marshalls have a 27k negative feedback resistor, and the lead spec typically have a 47k, or even 100k. The tone is still all Marshall, but I feel it is more versatile now. JavaScript is disabled. But boutique builders and DIY'er's are commonly adding switching to change between 2 for 3 or more cathode-bypass caps for V1 and/or V2. A center toggle switch offers mid punch, mid scoop and a flat option. You had me at "Hello"....you lost me at "V30/G12H30 mix". Is it possible to have an amp or a mod where you can flip a switch to go between 1986 and 1987 specs? I sent it to Victor at the Plexi Palace for some restoration work and he noted it was really a bass head (1986) and suggested restoring it to it's original specs. I'm sure you can find an amp builder who builds something that has options like this, or find someone who can if you really want to have both lead and bass flavors. You should go check out the metroamp forum, especially the 50 watt amp kits and Do It Yourself Amp Builds sections. It sounded great but it was always a balancing act between the two channels to get the tone I wanted. Those circuits, IMHO, will sound best with an M type speaker, maybe mixed with an H type, but in a closed 412 I would go all M Greenbacks or some clone of that speaker. So in theory, the *most* gainy amp is actually a 1969 or 1970 Super Lead with split cathode, 100k@4 ohm NFB and V2 .68uF bypass cap. You'll see this with "Decade," "'60/'70/'80," and Modern/Vintage" switching on a lot of Plexi- and JCM-style amps. Discussion in 'Let's Talk Vintage' started by Marshallguy, Sep 1, 2006. I have a 1969 model 1986 that when I first bought it was modified to 1987 specs. I have a plexi bass and metal face super bass and prefer them to my metal face lead as well. The 1986 also takes pedals very, very well. I have a 1969 model 1986 that when I first bought it was modified to 1987 specs. ). $169 - A lower price evolution of the MXR Dookie," it's based on Greenday's Billy Joe Armstrong's two custom Marshall 100w Plexi Super Lead amps. It sounded great but it was always a balancing act between the two channels to get the tone I wanted. I seem to remember the 1987 coming on at pretty much full volume and then just adding gain from there. I had Victor restore it to 1986 specs and I'm glad I did. I think that may account for a good deal of the difference you might hear. what the hell is a metal face i cant find it on the marshall site, a flux capacitor is how marty mc fly travells back to the future, I'd say the difference (in tone) comes after 1973 when amps were not PTP anymore. For example a model 1959 super lead from 1968 with a plexi front has no difference to a model 1959 super lead from 1970 with aluminum front except the front. Leads are brighter and more aggressive. Those circuits, IMHO, will sound best with an M type speaker, maybe mixed with an H type, but in a closed 412 I would go all M Greenbacks or some clone of that speaker. You had me at "Hello"....you lost me at "V30/G12H30 mix". There's a hair less gain now, so the amp stays clean a little longer before breaking up. The Marshall Plexi guitar amplifier was an evolution of their very successful Fender 5F6-A Bassman copy, the JTM45 but with just two preamp gain stages it can't really be considered a "high gain" amplifier.. The 1986 comes on a little slower and you can turn the volume up a bit before it starts to break up. The tone is still all Marshall, but I feel it is more versatile now. The 1986 also takes pedals very, very well. Thanks guys. Now I can just plug right into the bright channel (don't need to jumper them) and dial in the tone I want right away. The rest, I'm sure, will have some difference, but I've read perhaps not as much as the split/shared cathode- anybody know for sure? The Lead is great and I can get the same tones jumping the inputs then using the 2 volumes to blend the tone till I find a sweet spot. You can find a lot of info there about mods you can do so you can have both 1986 and 1987 flavors in your amp. I seem to remember the 1987 coming on at pretty much full volume and then just adding gain from there. You must log in or register to reply here. I had Victor restore it to 1986 specs and I'm glad I did. Too much difference between circuits IMO. Before the mod, I always felt I had to jumper the channels to control the brightness/in-your-face sound of the bright channel.
