Hi, I have been reading about a particular guy named larry that build Marshall's and I've been trying to turn one of my home built marshall into what he uses to see what it's like. I think I have most of it "right" so far..I have 25uF/820 .68/2.7k .0022 on v1a and v1b. 47pF bright cap. 470k mix with 330pF over it. 250pF/56k tonestack. No v2a cathode bypass cap. .047 PI coupling caps. 47k on 16ohm is NFB currently but I'm not sure about that one or any of the filtering he uses. All other values are just standard.

I know this might be a weird question but I'm curious because once I started switching to these values I started to like what I was hearing too so I'd like to finish what he likes just to check it out. I know hes on this forum but I'm new here and have no clue if you can tag someone or anything.

Other than that so far my favorite build I have is like a blackflag jtm50 filtering 16+16(32) mains, 32 screen, 16 PI, dual 32 preamp on tag board and 27k on 8 ohm tap but the whole preamp is like a 1987 .68/2.7k, .0022, no bright cap, 470k with 560pF, 33k/500pF and .022 PI couplers and the rarely used 330uF v2a bypass cap which I usually don't like but on this build it's perfect and so far makes for the most touch sensitive amp I've ever used and for whatever reason makes my strats middle pickup a lot more useable too. If anyone wants to fiddle around then that's so far probably the best sounding Marshall-y variation I've ever used so far
