But obviously you meant 'spunky', because that would be the expected result. Right?

The fault almost always is sitting in front of the amp

The lower henry choke will make the amp feel softer, breakup better and sooner and give a better feel between notes. Like the note is bleeding from one to the next, more like a Marshall. Just my two cents worth.

Re: Choke Me
I have thought about getting one of your 3H chokes for my Marshall JMP 2203 clone. I noticed it doesn't have covers on it. Is that just for looks, or do the covers help with noise?Brian Wallace wrote:Not kiddin' - keep in mind, I'm a German!
