    I'm not a trained electrician, apart from fascinated by you guys, I'd like to buy an origin 20 and convert it to a plexi, can you buy these extra resistors and caps readily or do you buy a pack of various values, also I understand you need to decharge a capacitor but which one, I fancy trying this mod out myself, what is/are the main points to consider. Cheerz it looks like simple but I know it isn't.

  • @eyedunno8462
    @eyedunno8462 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I would have left the pots alone, personally. You don't get a crazy amount of signal loss from a slightly under spec bass pot, but you get a ton of boost from overspeced mid and treble pot. Just use them slightly lower if you want classic Marshall, ramp them up if you want the extra juice.

      It sounds fuller and fatter after. Properly connecting that V1 Cathode Cap was probably the biggest contributor as it boosts the whole proceeding signal chain. Whomever initially "modded" that was an absolute amateur and didn't belong in that amp

    Tighten the screws holding the xformer to the frame to silence the mechanical hum. No audible difference, the tone shaping is in the valve circuitry. It does create a negative impression that Marshall offshores so much these days for cheaper made parts but doesn't pass on those savings. And that does affect the psychoacoustics.

    • @HeadfirstAmps
      @HeadfirstAmps 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Was the first thing I tried, the screws. Made no difference. The whine was the end caps. Also this PT puts out lower voltages than the predecessor which does impact the tone..,better or worse is subjective.

What I am seeing people say is that there is an artificial load when no speaker is plugged in. Thanks for any clarification and I really enjoy your videos. I was friends with a guy named Frank Levi, who was my go to for repairs or mods, for decades, but he has passed away. Thank you for your time.

  • @Cpt_Adama
    @Cpt_Adama 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Wasn't really a fair comparison of the Fryette because you had the reactive load off for the Fryette and on for all the other load boxes. Switches set in the middle "Flat" position means no reactive load is being presented and it's merely straight attenuation with zero reactive load.
