Re: Question about Marshall JCM 800 4212

Ok, finally went down to shop w/my guitar and checked it out. Sounded great with my Dipinto, sounded amazing with my friends Ampeg Dan Armstrong. It nailed the Black Flag sound easily with the Ampeg and with my Dipinto I was in Stooges/MC5 territory. However, to get "the sound" it has to be cranked, which is ok because I got my Zinky for bedroom jamming. One last thing, someone told me that this amp can also take KT88's, is this true? Would it be a direct swap?

Looks like you used mylar caps in that amp Jeff - have you tried Sozo caps? They're supposed to be the best in the market by far for Marshalls.

V!n has one of them, and I'm trying to figure out a way to make circuits that will "bolt in" instead of having to ship the whole chassis here....still haven't gotten there yet. (V!n's been waiting for almost two years... and we have had to abandon some original ideas since he has the short chassis..)

True, very true ..
