I recently acquired a dean markley CD-60 head out of the combo cab, and I dont have the cable that plugged the head into the speaker; does anyone know what I need to do to wire a output from the wires for the plugin? (I'm going to make a custom head cabinet for this amp instead of using it as a combo). I dont want to take it to a tech to have a primary output jack installed; I'd rather do it myself but I cant find enough info to do it myself. Please help! hendershot2009@gmail.com

Nice clip!I have a near mint '85 CD-30,which is the rare 30 watt rms version of the CD-60.I recently had new power tubes [JJ 6L6] and caps put in,along with an older English made Celestion G12H-30 speaker.My amp tech also tweaked the overdrive section to smooth out the higher gain tones just a bit.To my ears,my CD-30 sounds like a cross between an old blackface Super Reverb and a Mesa/Boogie MK I.Btw,I wonder how the recent reissues of the CD-60 and CD-30 sound?

well I must say I am completely impressed at the tone that amp gets. I remember a friend of mine years ago but it was a smaller one. Great job.

I own 2 of the cd-60's. I bought one and loved it so much, when I came across another I bought it too! In my opinion it sounds best with single coils, it gives a strat the drive it needs to sound really good. I own mesa, fender, and all the rest, but the markley is my go to amp. I bring it to blues jams all over and people always ask me about it. It has its own voice and distincive sound.Loud enough for all but stadiums. If you find one grab it! My favorite amp.

I own 12 DM vintage amps. They never blew up in the store, on stage or on the road. Durable and great. It's when the goofs upstairs at DM sent the whole show to China for manufacture that China decided to "replace" parts with their own cheap stuff. Result, garbage amps. If you want a quality DM Vintage amp, look for CD or RM before the number. Anything else is ching choy crap.

Southerner66, does yours have a Celestion like mine? I quite like the clean tone and reverb, but am not crazy about the overdrive. Not that it's so terrible, just not my style and I usually opted for a tube screamer type of pedal instead. And yeah, it's built rather cheaply...probably why we both could pick them up for just $50!
I built a Weber 6A20 (clone of Deluxe Reverb) earlier this year, with two 10" Alnico speakers...I haven't fired up the Dean Markley since!

Sounds nice! I've got the same amp, which I bought broken for $50 some 15 years ago. New volume pot plus a re-cap, and it worked great. Nice to finally see what the original footswitch looks like, mine didn't come with one and I had to make my own.

@Blindlemonlars LOL. I bought one of these non-working about a year ago for $50--fixed it myself. In my opinion, the stock speaker sounds awful, not just with this amp, but with any tube amp I've tried it with. Any other speaker I've plugged into it has been an improvement. The huge ceramic magnet is what makes the amp so heavy.
I've heard that many of these blew up in in music stores before they were sold--a result of sketchy build quality, but these problems are very fixable.
