S.I.R. 100W SuperLead Schematic pt. II

[dukeamps]

Iron Maiden called for the licks back!
Good stuff, Duke.

it's winter time here in Chicagoland and I needed to find something for my 13 yr old to do besides play video games. I had a botched superlead chassis lying around, so HE is building a #36.

Will be a slow project as I only have my kids part time, but he's dong really great and this is a great chance to teach him some basics on tools and electronics.

My wife is really tired of the Unchain the Night riff. That's always one of the first test riffs I play when working on amps...lol

Great tone, Duke!

OH MAN ITS GOOD TO BE BACK!

I dont know why but the forums was not able for me since july 2016!!!

I see that some of us where working on our #36 sounds!

Just a little history, last November Guns n' roses camed down to Argentina (where im from) and i ended up working for Richard Fortus, his tech and amps. I was invited to the sound check, i saw Slash and Duff walk right NEXT TO ME, I met Richard, he is super cool, IT WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL AND IMPORTANT EXPERIENCE in both my proffesional and musician life.

Slash was sounding like anytime before, the tone was ripping, GIANT TONE, i saw Slash before in booth stadiums and smaller arenas but this time his guitars were ROARING.


So just for a little here it is my current spects for the #36 Levi AFD MOD:

Oh Man i was in booth concert last November in Argentina, i was on the soundcheck too and the slash guitar tone was HUGE, the guitar was super lead overdriven but clear.

its nice to be back on here, its been awhile. so I just plugged my 36 into my old marshall cab with the really old marshall labeled V30's- they gotta be some of the very first ones, its strange how these speakers sound with my amp. im able to get the sound without the 100n over the 10k and with a 5n brite cap. it sounds so good I cant put down the guitar, the notes just bloom- very plexi sounding in treble/ mid response. I think I like these speakers with my amp more than the g12-80's I have. I gotta hook up some mics now.

what are these marshall labeled speakers I have? anyone know? anyway what is slash using on the tour? they are sounding great.

are you talking about the first run of v30? if im not mistaken they were celestions made for marshall, they came in the late 80s.

Slash is using regular v30s

[rockgod212]

yep those are what im talking about. are they an early version of a v30? whats different about them? they sound so damn good.

what amps is slash using for this tour?

Here is some info that I found a year or 2 ago on the subject of v30s. I personally like the marshall version myself


"There are a number of different variations within the V30 family over the years. Currently, the "best" ones being the ones from Mesa Boogie with the T4416 code according to "those in the know." There were slight variations in the construction for example the magnet being cast or cut and the basket being stamped or not. Here's a quote from Steve Fryette:

The 30 in V30 has nothing to do with power handling. But making a distinction between the Mesa version and the off-the-shelf version is legit, even though it has little to do with actual power handling capacity. The rated power handling of the V30 of any version (see below) is 65W.

The Mesa version is OEM. This is the T4416 model, which is an 16 ohm speaker. It is made in England specifically for Mesa. But Mesa didn't specify it that way. From what we were told by Celestion around 1997-8, Celestion changed the model T3904 (16 ohm) V30 design in the early 90s to make it easier and cheaper to produce. Mesa didn't like it and insisted on the original version, which then became an OEM model. The 8 ohm version of the Mesa speaker is the T4335. To get an OEM model from Celestion requires a large order. This speaker was made on a separate production line from the off-the-shelf V30, which as Van Nord says is fizzy and thin sounding by comparison.

There is a third 16 ohm version only used by Marshall - T3897 - which is even brighter.

When we were using Celestion speakers, we found out about the existence of the T4416 which we had purchased from our German distributor at the time and asked Celestion about it. They had claimed that they didn't offer OEM varitions of the V30, but changed their story when we sent them a T4416 "for evaluation". Then a new rep called us, confirmed that there were in fact two separate V30 production lines and agreed to make us a special T Number OEM speaker. After a couple of months back and forth, we placed a large order and requested the special number assignment, at which time they cancelled the order and reneged on the deal. That's when we switched to Eminence. We haven't used Celestions speakers since.

It's not that V30s don't sound good with our amps. It's just that the T4416 sounds better. The T3904 is now made in China and after all these years, the P50E does what we wanted Celestion to do originally - and does it better, in fact - so we don't need Celestions help.

So, if you like V30s, there is nothing about the amp design that will be compromised using a V30. Our amps are not voiced "only" for the P50E. What is optimized for the P50E is the cabinet design. In that, the P50 will perform better in our cab than any others.

And now you know that when you say V30, you could be talking about 5 different speakers - that all sound slightly different:*

T3903 Standard 8 ohm
T3904 Standard 16 ohm
T3987 Marshall OEM 16 ohm
T4416 Mesa OEM 16 ohm
T4335 Mesa OEM 8 ohm"
