Yes,Im wrong...I re-rad with more attemption History of NMarshall by Michael Doyle and ,yes, they start to put gold plexi panel in ,roughly, end of 64,early 65

janarn

And the Plexi back panels came in '66.
What is called the "Plexi area" is usually '65 to 'mid '69.

I'm new as well to this forum. I hope this is the right place for a question...
Does anyone know if there has been a JTM45/100W reissue? I played a JTM45 Bluesbreaker (1990 made) and it just killed me (AWESOME!) and wondered if it might be a good replacement for my 1971 Marshall major which I use for clean tones. The JTM45 just had great charactor.

Reginald

About the original JTM45/100(with KT66s) yes...For my little knoledge ,I think the reissue should be the Super 100JH (Jimi Hendrix signature) and the JTM 45/100 with block letter logo with two 50w Output Transformers.
Both limited edition.....this is what they affirm.....'cause they adfirm to have build only 600 pieces of the 100JH and only 200 about the JTM45/100 two OTs....but if this would be true,it would be impossible them would have to 'exit' over UK. I saw many of them in only Italy,so I think those number of limited edition is only a convention,u know. I think,they have built many others ones over 600 units or 200 units respectively.

Hello,
This is my first time posting. I'm hoping someone can help or steer me in the right direction. I'm currently playing a 59 reissue LP through an AVT150 Marshall amp. I gig live about every other weekend, and I like many things about this amp, but I'm wanting to go to a tube amp for better tone. I run a very simple stage setup. The amp, the Paul, a Boss tuner, a Boss Metal Zone pedal, and a Crybaby...that's it. I like the AVT for the fact it has 4 completely seperate channels, with seperate volume and gain controls for each. It has an accoustic simulator channel, a clean channel, an o/d 1 and an o/d 2. The sim and clean channles have an eq, and the o/d's 1 and 2 have an eq for those. The foot switch is VERY EASY to use...clearly marked and takes you ONLY between these 4 channels. So.....I'm looking for as close to the same set up as I can get in a tube combo amp. I don't want to carry a cabinet, so a head is out, I want to go combo, and prefer a 1x12 vs. a 2x12. 50 watts would be fine vs. the 100 in the jvm410c. Plus the 410 is a 2x12. I'm thinking maybe the jvm215c? As long as the footswitch is not too overly complicated. It seems like the new JDM series might be good for the studio/home recording, but looks WAY complicated for basic stage use. Anyone have any reccamendations or suggestions? I'm ready to throw my hands up and stick with the AVT!

since you (i assume) use a pedal for your distortion, why not get something loud and clean like a fender with tons of headroom? Like a used fender hotrod for cheap money is a GREAT platform to use pedals, and of course the clean sound is awesome. Or if you you want to use amp gain and don't need a loud clean channel, a peavey classic30 is a great sounding workhorse of an amp, and you can add an extension cab to it for a huge sound. If you are lucky and dont mind spending a little money, find a used jcm800 combo. It doesn't even matter what model, they are ALL excellent amps and can be had for way under a grand. They are bullet-proof, awesome sounding, plug'n'play screamers that will never be out of style. And you will NEVER lose money on one if you decide to sell it, someone will always want to buy it.

Why does my new MG100FX have static and hum issues

thrawn86

Check your guitar cables and jacks, and the amp input jack to see if there's anything loose or if you've got a bad cable. If it isn't one of those things, and if you bought it brand new, you should take it back and have it looked at while it's still under warranty.

Ok, Dr Tube's history ends prematurely. The amp I'm working on which ya'll seem to think is a re-issue, is a JCM 800 100 watt with an FX loop. I have been inside a lot the last few weeks, today, I even tried to remove it by hard wire bypass because it has active circuits including an IC and electrolytics.... When was this amp made???

you may need tubes but, it's possible you got a dud. if it'd 2005 or newer it SHOULD be tubes but, otherwise talk to Marshall about it and eventualy take it to a tech.2004 and older DSL/TSL's were roughly 1/3 bad...faulty carbon film resistors i believe and the leads to the power tubes were botched i hear but, i know that they had bias drift and one tube usualy would gradualy get hotter,pop the tube and fuse and slag the PCB so try new tubes or tubes you know are okay ang go from there man. Good luck!

ThePoppster

Hey, thank you SOOOOO much! Your list is a HUGE help for me! What with me being a 'newbie' and all!
Thanks again.

FenGib

May be some one could give me some advice,I looking for a second hand Marshall, which I can play also at home with out schattering the walls, I like the sound of Tubes and Play mostly early rock, rock,and blues so I would like something pretty versatile with a good sound quality. Can somebody help out here to a newcomer not only to the forum but to amps.

daviddwilson

I have been Using Marshall for many years and this is the first time I have ever had a proublem. I recently purchased a 2266 combo and i cant get the crunch that I have been used too. Can any one help me? I've been told Get a power Brake, but with the money that i spent for the amp, it should have all I need.

It's just the wrong Marshall for you imo. Try a DSL,JCM800,900/SL-X or even a TSL. You may like one or all of those better.6100 is a great one too.

diesect20022000

dsl401/tsl602

diesect20022000

JCM800,6100,Jubilee or DSL imo. try to avoid pre 2005 DSL/TSL's. They were few and far between but, those earlier models sometimes had problems with overheating and bias drift. If you can get affirmation the one you're getting is problem free though go for it. DSL and TSL's run around the $500 range give or take a hundred fairly and JCM900's dipped down to $325 but, you probably won't find one in that range. $450's good for those imo and the other three get pricey due to limited run and demand. Joe Bonomasa has a Jubilee as his centerpiece tone.

There are still a few things missing from the list.

For a start, although PCB's were introduced mid '73, the PA amps never went over to PCB's, they were all produced with turretboards until they stopped making them altogether. (I guess producing a PA specific PCB was out of the question, given the number of these amps made in the latter days)

Not sure whether anybody has mentioned this, but the change from JTM to JMP actually happened sometime in 1967, during the plexiglass period, not just in the metal panel period.

Also with regards to the master mk II range, although the 100w 2203 was introduced in 1975, I have yet to meet anybody that's ever seen a 50w 2204 from 1975. I'm 100% certain these didn't come out until 1976. And what's more, they didn't have the same pre-amp as the 2203 until around feb '77. Prior to that they were non-cascaded, and were more akin to a 1987 model with a master volume added (and only two inputs). They also sounded terrible.

There is no mention of either the 1959 or 1987 (four input non master models) in the JCM800 series either. These amps never went out of production, and were always made in one guise or another.

Also it's worth mentioning that the very first JTM-45's were actually designed around the 6L6 tube, rather than the 6L6 being a backup tube to "out of stock" 5881's, which I don't think was ever the case. Marshall looked for a cheaper alternative to the US produced 6L6 which wasn't exactly in great supply in the UK, and came up with the 5881. Which proved unreliable, so they then switched to KT66. This is according to Ken Underwood anyway, who was there with Ken Bran and Dudley Craven at the very start, before Jim himself got involved.

Hope this info can be of use.

I play marshal since 2 months and I have a problem with my AVT 50 XT.
When you play a long time, the lights go out and the sound is bad. Can anyone help me?
