More headroom on Marshall 1959SLP RI
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2019 6:55 pm
Hey guys! So this as probably been answer a billion time but hear me out.
I want to have more headroom from my 1959slp but still going on the edge of breakup. I want something close to John Frusciante's tone since I'm in a RHCP tribute band. I do am aware that he's using a Major/Jubilee setup*
I'm playing on a Fender Stratocaster ( '09 American Deluxe, stock pickup rated at 6.5k) with a couple of dirt boxes ( DS-2 and Big Muff) and the amp's setting are at P:2 B:6-7 M:8 T:4 V1:4 V2:5-6 (with a patch cable) and there still just too much grit on the amp. I do need it to drive the power tubes for the compression but the preamp is too much distorted. ( There's a thd hotplate and a power amp in my setup to manege the overall volume)
I've heard about the usual suspect for the more headroom ay7, au7, at7 and the 5751 but I want your advice on wich too put where.
Thanks alot
