Re: Marshall AVT50 Mods
Hey guys,
Just finished reading all the posts in this thread.
Lots of info! Let me tell you lol.
I would love to eventually mod my AVT50Combo. I was wondering if Peter ever posted his website or anything involving the kits.
I just bought it less than a month ago. The guy I got it from on eBay spent 40 bucks shipping it and when it got to me it has a diagonal dent running through the two jacks on the right side of the unit. You can definitely see that the fron panel doesn't line up right. However I had to guitar buddies play on it and said it sounded great. The only other concern I had was that tonight after practicing a bit and writting...I noticed I could hear the fan when I turned it on. Being a sort of computer tech, I know buzzing fans ins't a good thing. I'm hoping that is an easy fix.
Some guys and I just got a band together and I am trying to see how easy it would be to mod this to get some more out of this amp.
Currently I play a squire strat (stock) on it (looking to get an Epi LP Standard Plus soon) and an older Gretch Electromatic. My amp before this was a 10W crate...sounded like crap. Thought it was my squire, but was definitely the crappy amp. Sounds great on the Marshall.
My buddy is going to revamp the wiring and pickups on my strat, and then I will also pick up the Epi LP.
Anyways, back to the topic.
I just want to get the true marshall tone with a bit more crunch in it. The mid mods sounded enticing as well. Possibly upgrade the speaker down the line too.
