WRONG

mid 73 and their where actually avery small number of 1974 UK amps that were still Pt TO pt made sorry to say. Honest mistake . I thought the \y stoppd in 73 too! i Was wrong as well. Read up on it

Swededane

Plexi marshalls arent much differant then he early metalface .just the plate on the front . look at the board inside. i have a 72' superlead and a 77 superlead home tag and although yeah their are more mustards. essentially not many changes

faze

I purchased this amp a while ago and was trying to determine what model Plexi it is. It is a 1997 limited edition 50 watt Plexi it has the MK11
on the front panel and on the back of the amp it has a gold plate
that says 1997 limited edition with Jim Marshall's signature.


I think it's a super lead? Anyway I contacted Marshall requesting
information on it. I was wondering If anyone else has this amp?
Thanks for all your help.

Hi.

I'we have a AVT 275 for 3 years and i'm very satisfied with it.

but, in the effect loop i use some components like dig effects..etc, so my problem is how to connect a usual midi foot controller to control the AVT 275 and the effect in once, because with the regular AVT 275 controller it is impossible to control the components by MIDI inputs, and it would be stupid to have two controllers, and otherwise I have to change the effects by hand or use all the time just one combination.

the connector for the Marshall is a flat comp one, so i bought a cable (adapter) with midi in-out on one side and this Marshall connector in the other side, rent a midi foot controller and connected it. The result was total failure, error in the Marshall channels, so i realize that the Marshall connector is probebly in some unicat sheme which doesn't match with the usual midi shemes.

My question is- is it posible ti connect it, it is not a problem for me to make that cable adapter by myself, but does any one know the sheme if it is posible to connect it that way!

I'm from Croatia, so please sorry about any spelling mistakes.

they should rename JCM, JTM etc. tube amps as "TLC"..

The Lead and Super Lead models 62 - 81:

Model 1987:
JTM-45 MkI prototype
JTM-45 MkII: The JTM-45 for sale 62 - 66
JTM "reverse logo" (50w with EL34) late 66 - mid 67
JMP Plexi mid 67 - mid 69
JMP Metalface mid 69 - 81 (up to '84 some places)
Tremolo model 65 - 75

Model 1959:
JTM-45/100 with KT66 introdused November 65. The last of them changed to EL34 tubes.
JTM "reverse logo" late 66 - mid 67
JMP Plexi mid 67 - mid 69
JMP Metalface 69 - 81
Tremolo model 65 - 73

JTM MkIII was the 50w Super PA model 1963 (the only JTM50)
JTM Mk IV was the Tremolo version
JTM Mk V was the 100w Super PA model 1968 (the only JTM100)

Tube rectifier on the 1987 until early/mid '67, 100w never had it.

Excellent post, thank you very much! Aspen Pittman's tube amp book goes into detail about Marshall. I dig the way you've historically laid it out.

Hi there, I've just registered with your fine site and I'm not even sure I'm posting in the correct place, so please forgive me if I'm not.....but I have a question regarding a Marshall Amp...I am...(gulp)..actually a drummer. Any how I aquired a re-issue Super Lead Mk2 100 watt some years ago, I sent it to Marshall to be serviced a month back and they told me it was in pristine condition, only needed a couple of new pre-amp valves. it is covered in the original white tolex with gold piping and the smaller Marshall logo on the front, and is and looks in brand new condition. The serial number has been pretty much obliterated over the years, but they think it is a 95' or 97' re-issue?..would anyone know what these are worth? I've looked on the net and can't seem to find this model. Cheers for your help

Not a very comprehensive list.
What about the JTM30, JTM60 & the Series 9000 19" rack system amps as well as the Split Channel Reverb, the PAs, the Bass range, the Mosfet early attempts at solid state (historically very important), the Valvestate series as well as the current MG models and the little practice amps? Even the JCM2000 series were omitted.
If you're going to have a list of Marshall's models then let it be comprehensive, don't leave any out, make it interesting, a history lesson on Marshall.
Some were good, some great while others were awful but they were all important in describing the history of the development of Marshall amps while this small list tells us nothing.

I have a jcm2000 dsl201 20watt combo and I have no sound out my main volume ( amp is on clean channel ) untill I turn up the gain. what could be causing this to happen and is there a quick fix to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

thrawn86

On the 201 and 401, the Master Volume for the whole amp is on the far right of the faceplate, next to the on/off and standby, but if you don't have the gain turned up for the clean (green) channel, you'll get nothing because that's what controls the volume for the clean. If you crank the gain on that channel, you can get it to break up a little, like the classic amps of old.

If this isn't the problem, like you have no sound on any channel or something, it may be the bridge rectifier or a tube issue. You may want to repost this question in the Workbench thread, as it can be seen easier and you'll get more help in the future.

ive never had to turn the gain up before? it just started to not work unless its turned up.(the gain) I play heavilly distorted guitars so having to turn the gain up is a nightmare to me. TO MUCH DISTORTION!!!!! it looses its clarity. what could cause this?

spikei

good thread, can i add the Marshall Haze 40 w Combo, two EL 34, three ecc 83. same look and valve set up as the jmp 50 combo. but with clean channel with boost, over drive channel with boost and master volume, bright switch and built in vib/chor/echo fx all controllable from the foot switch.

What's a good amp for hard rock/heavy metal for like 500 $??

thrawn86

You might swing a Mode Four head for that much, but it pushes 350 watts, so you'd need the cab that goes with it (it handles 400w I believe).

any one has a suggestion for a good marshall amp for hard rock/heavy metal for around 500$??

van

any marshall can do that it just depends on your taste IMHO


and he just answered your question^^^


Cool thread!

amirali

well Im quite new to this forum and dont know if this is the right place for my question. But since it's about amps, I'll just shoot and see who gets back to me:

Just bought a TSL 100, dont seem to be able to get a good sound yet. The manual says I cant connect distortion to the loop. Is this correct? I would love to connect my Metal Core.
The crunch channel sounds awful and the lead channel doesnt impress me. (Why did I buy it? Long story, lets not go there).

Also, does the amp supposed to be this way that the clean channel leaks into the cab, even if vol. and gain controlers are on zero? Only after you switch to the OD channels, does the clean sound stop.

broberts

will a marshall haze 15 watt head be loud on a 120 watt 4x12 cab? will it have the same tone?

mhbilt

Does someboy have seen or try the new Marshall combo JMD-1, 100 watts 4 amp valve and 1 preamp valve, lot of effects, midi conection etc?

thrawn86

To all three previous posters:

Go up to the Marshallforum image in the top left corner of the screen. Click that, and then look at all the categories available to post in. Choose the one that best describes what you need/are looking for. Click it, and on the left side above the existing thread list, there is a "New Thread" button. Go and do that, or you might not get any more responses in this old thread.

amirali: The TSL is complicated but many guys here get awesome sound out of it, so repost in the Marshall Amps section.

broberts: Same for you. That head should sound good thru a cab; someone else here already did it. Just match the ohm settings.

mhbilt: You too. Marshall Amps section.

Hope this helps you guys.

These are some pictures of the new MARSHALL JMD:1 not in the official page from Marshall. Sounds Great......
Are made in china 100 Watts 4 valves for amp and one valve for preamplifier, 2 speakers different each one, Sounds really good as MARSHAL SOUND, I think has been made to compete with LINE 6, has a foot switch, 4 channels, can be connectec to a cabinet.
