You took a good amp and made it GREAT. Thanks so much brother 🙌
Uncle Leon what up brudda! Fancy seeing you here lol. That's a rare bird if ya got there dude. Nice 👌
this is a quality repair /mod shop, i always enjoy his craftmannship in these videos
Great job, Jason - the amp sounds fabulous now! I'm happy for Leon to have such a beautiful and well-refined amp. I would also like to send my '79 JMP 2203 to you, unfortunately it's a bit too far from Germany.
Nice work as always Jase!
Nice mod! And, great playing too!
Awesome as usual Jason. KILLER TONE out of that amp man !! - And, ... it cleans up really nice too. Thanks for continuing to share the good stuff !! I have been thinking about adding another preamp stage to my '75 1959SLP for some time, .... just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Great video, great tones, and great playing.. as always! Sounds VERY cool! 🤟🤟
Thanks brother!
Jason you are an inspiration bro. Your videos and the fact you share your vast expert knowledge and don't horde it is aweaome. I mod as well and LOVE it and always will.
Thanks man!
Wow!..What a tone..Nice work Jason.
Thanks Bryan!
Sounds Killer 🤘
Got this amp barking gloriously !!!
My man !! I have been waiting for ever to get more info on this amp. I bought one on a chance and I thought it was rare but I had no Idea it was one of 150. The reverb is not so good but I don't use it. It's very good but damn you made it great. I thought I would never see this thank you !
Check out the other vid I did, you can see what a stock 2959 looks like.
That sounds brutal!
Ooof! That sounds good!
I found you thru Leon. He's the best and if he recommends you then I had to subscribe. Very cool. Thanks brother and be well sir. ❤
Thanks for the sub!
@@HeadfirstAmps Absolutely. 🤘
Hell yeah Bark at the Moon. Killer.
Awesome!
Definitely Bark at the moon with all these tone stack mods in 78/79 Marshall were carrying on with!!
Oh and I didnt miss Back in Business at EX3 which this amp most definitely is !!
That sounds awesome !... I'll be hitting him up for a play on this one 😁😅
another Banging vid Jason, Love how you walk us through what everything is..... Ive learned soo much.. Also mad sounds.... STANK FACE !!!! 🤪
Thanks Mike!
Tell Leon he should have this amp added to the ax fx library
hi i like your expertise , and i want to ask you a question , , Krank amps have a bad reputation as lifleless amps , is that because they have 2 x 100 uf in the power supply ? to stiff ?
Wooooow
What is the difference between Pre and Post Phase Inverter Master Volume? And does a a stock Post Phase Inverter MV Marshall exist?
Nice one!. As always, sick work mate. Do you sleep, or are you still in the US?.
Still in the US, heading home tonight!
How would you compare a classic 1959 og José mod to say, cascading the two treble/normal triodes and associated value changes? If someone wants to mod a Marshall preamp what do each style of mod offer? How do they compare?
If you're not bothered about 'blending' the treble and normal channels in parallel, then yeah you can just cascade and get the same outcome.
Hey Jason, maybe a bit too simple to ask, but what's the best way to jumper a 4-input marshall internally? (EDIT: Just finished the video, found the answer) Is it as simple as connecting the two input leads of the two high channels together?
I have a mid 70s 1987 and I feel like jumpering the inputs the usual way (lo bright => normal high) kind of muffles the signal just a little bit, even when the normal channel is turned off. Maybe it's just in my head.
EDIT: Also, that power switch is kinda cute.
To jumper internally, you need to connect the grids together at the V1 socket for V1a and V1b, then you only want to have one set of inputs connected.
@@HeadfirstAmps Follow the video and worked like a charm, cheers!
New output tube quad? What brand did you guys choose?
I’m very happy with the JJ EL34 quads these days
You could simply parallel the V1 triodes, that should give you a better SNR for the most sensitive amplification stage. You'd still have the gain of the single triode, and it will pull more pre-stage B+ current.
Can but it sounds different, and I don’t like it as much
True it would. The scary mod also just adds one triode gain+attentuaton after the v1a and cold clipper on the jcm800. It’s good to hear this in comparison.
The mod sounds good!
Killer
Plans to profile for the qc? 🤓
It’s back with Leon, you could ask him!
I think you would have made a good surgeon. You wouldn't only fix the person you could modify
Hahaha
His side band would be called Cathodes N' Catheters.
