50 watt kit

Post by VelvetGeorge » Mon Mar 31, 2008 2:10 pm

Here's a quick clip I made of the stock 50 watt kit. The playing is bad, but there's a nice variety of tones from changing just pickups and guitar volume.

My Les Paul > 50W kit > '68 straight with G12M's > SM 57 on one speaker, M160 on another, Royer R122 in the room.

Channels jumped.

Vol I 10

Vol II 7

Treble 8

Middle 10

Bass 1

Presence 5

Thanks Mark. It's a dead stock kit. The Sozo caps are standard mustards.

Sounds like the most excellent Marshall tone I love.

My god, how did I live before my '69 clone??????

I haven't been around much lately, but it looks (and sounds) like things are going great over here. Great sounding amp George!!!
Why is it we can remember where all the wires go, but can never find a pick?

Killer tone, thanks for posting that. I love how these amps clean up so nice when the volume's rolled back and then just bark with the guitar turned up.

Bright cap in George? If so, which one? I just finished my 50w. kit and have to remind myself that ch.1's gotta be cranked to get past that 500pf cap tone if the volume's too low.

I love these amps!!

That's what I'm talking about..I get quite a few PM's and emails from all over the world about the Mark II 50 watt tone, ideally a 50 watt chassis in a big box, to 1971 specs and this could be almsot as big as the 12000 series, I have been suggesting this all along. The interest in certainly there, it is another classic clone market, a major tone zone, the Malmsteen/Alcatrazz/Live '85 tone and with Outlier's YJM308 grey spec mod, I would like to hear a clip of a YJM signature guitar (DiMarzio HS-3, YJM pickups) through the '71 spec head with the DOD250 pedal. Watch the views on You Tube with that!!
Just a suggestion, I am not the player to post these clips, but YJM fans step up, the 50 watt section isn't called from Allmans to Yngwie for nothing!!
