Rattling Grillcloth

Re: Rattling Grillcloth

To be honest...it sounds like a speaker flapping badly!

Ya know, I wasn't going to say anything since for the most part I think this is one of a long line of troll threads but FWIW...

I didn't hear a grill or cab rattle at all, I heard a speaker flapping around like mad and a really out of tune guitar begging to be tuned and played properly...

You worry about a rattling grillcloth (which I can't hear) but an out of tune guitar doesn't ever seem to bother you. I don't get it.

This.

Agreed.

That is in no way the way that amp should sound.The boosted dirty channel should sound good at those settings and then adjust to taste.

No, I play it on the clean channel, with the volume cranked, so I get the natural overdrive, lke an old Blackface.
I havent even used the OD channel except to test it out.
Also, when I say the rattle stops when I press agaisnt the grillcloth and play loud, pretty much says its the grillcloth. Ive heard a grillcloth rattle before. I have one Marshall someone reclothed with cane that rattles like a sum***** and also needs reclothing.
Not much about this issue on the web, so its a good thing this is being bandied about, not a troll thing.
BTW, I MUST get a good mic and learn to make proper clips.

The beauty of that amp is its ability to pull off both a high-gain Marshall tone and a Fender clean tone, not simply one or the other. If all you're wanting is a Fender clean tone and then you're overdriving it to get something dirty instead of switching channels, it would be a lot cheaper to get an old silver or blackface Fender.

A hair dryer will heat up the plastic grill cloth, shrink it a little and tighten it up.

DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY AND BURN IT!
