This one needs to be tweaked. Somethings wrong with the tubes...or the way they're biased....that amp should sing a lot more. It could be the voltage too.
There is way to much commentary on this. 30 sec of technical specs on the amp and guitar then let it rip. It's supposed to be a soundcheck of a genuine vintage marshall amp. What I heard was just a tease. Show some extended rhythms and leads on both the bridge and neck pickups both clean and dirty. If I'm going to drive to a different state to purchase vintage equipment and drop fat cash I have to initially get interested in the product so show us what she can do!
Could the power tubes be replaced with EL34's? Look the look of these heads!

Looks and sounds like one of the FAKES built in England.
By a certain music shop we all know who they are.

amp needs a service or the microphone is buggering up the sound perhaps

Running at 230 5881's one is not likely to change anything or re bias at this time BB-KR

@skydog46 Bother I don't agree... this thing sings... nice, smooth, and dark... Just put a TS in front of it and let it open up!

@skydog46 yeah and it would also help if the douchebag could actually PLAY

@skydog46 I agree. It could just be the 5881s though. The 1964 white tolex JTM he profiles sounds fantastic, but it has KT66s.
