Re: What The Hell Is Diode Clipping????

This is useful info when one hears somethings he likes and somethings he doesn't, so that he can get to where he wants to go tone-wise. I say if changing the diodes does the trick for you, the rock on!



... That being the case, I am basically trying to find out what is inside my own amp (since I don't have schematics). I have been told by countless people that my TSL122 uses diode clipping on the crunch and lead channels, but wiki seems to contradict that. So which is right?
The bottom of this page has schematics to download for the TSL122:

Marshall Amps Info & Schematics

also check here for more info:

Marshall Amp Heaven Schematics - JTM-45 JCM-50 JCM-600 JCM-900 JCM-2000 JTM-100 JMP IBS Jubilee Valvestate Bluesbreaker

Hope you find the answers you're looking for.
