Marshall 100 Master PA

Post by andresound »

Hi guys,
Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Looks very clean. Will be delivered next week. I saw a you tube clip of a Guy who Mods PA amps in particular (I think the clip was for a Selmar PA amp). Gets some amazing tones and flexibility from the amp. This prompted me to get the Marshall which is basically a 2203 circuit.

Open to suggestions.

CH1 - stock
Ch2 & 3 - cascaded/bridged (high gain)?
CH 4 - Plexi
CH 5 - BASS ?
CH 6 - ???

Anyone seen what this guy (Hermansson Amplification) does to Vintage PA amps?? Great tones and flexibility. He has a Facebook page and builds neat stuff.

it's easy to tweak coupling caps after the first gain stage, as well as cathode resistors and caps on the first gainstages and volume bright caps.

The problem, however, is that marshall used a 500is pf cap on one mixer resistor on most guitar amps and this will affect all the other channels. So you may need to compromise

Switch it out with a relay maybe?

I used switched volume pots on my Traynor YBA- 1. When you turn either channel down enough to click it off, then you remove it from the mixing point and isolate the other channel. It is quite a boost.
