I'm not saying the Marshall is the end all of tone, but one color I prefer. Alpha, Ok, I will agree that the Orange is a very nice amp and gives the Marshall a run for it's money. What do you have? Yeah, which ? And if I'm still not loving it I'll launch it. Any chance you'd want to trade? I've never been totally in love with that amp. What kind of stuff do you find yourself using it on? JIMI used them too. AJ, you want to launch that ?
I could find a good home for it. Not mine because I have one but I know lots of people looking for 'em. AJ, how much do you push the amps when you record?
I find that my sounds really weak when used low, but when I crank it, it really opens up. Not all the way up, maybe on like 4 or something. Oh yeah, what model is yours and what type of output tube? Oranges just kick total ass. Dropping 6L6's into the Marshall will make it fatter but then it won't sound like a Marshall.
I don't know if that's a good thing for you or not. Even though I've had this amp for a few days so far I've had the bass just about all the way up and the treble and presence usually aren't higher then 4 or 5. Any higher then that and your right, it gets thin and bright. I know Orange but what's the deal with Matamp?
Seeing as this is the Amp hang thread On Michael Wageners recomendation for a good 'all round' rock workhorse recording set up - I bought an Engle Savage Special Edition. I have a stereo cab - one side has vintage the other 30? However there is a pretty good chance that speakers on the old Marshalls are not the originals; or if they are, they're perhaps not in original condition. If you have a 2x12 or 4x12 and the cone numbers are different, they may have been reconed.
If there is excess glue on the surround, then a recone is even more likely. If the date codes differ by much more than a month most of the original Marshalls I have seen have used speakers made within days of each other , then the chassis have probably been changed; this means that the date code can only be relied upon to date the speaker, not the amp!
October - December Marshall's first prototypes had no model codes or any official serialization. Cosmetics are the most obvious clues here; items such as the old block-style Marshall logo, vinyl, grille cloth, output tubes, type of panels and knobs, etc. Many of these amplifiers had an offset chassis. After these came the first production amplifiers, starting at number , which was Ken Bran's idea, so that it would look as though they were building thousands more amplifiers than was actually the case!
These numbers were scribed or stamped into the back panel of the chassis, and sometimes also included the model type, such as PA, Lead, or Bass.
They continued to number them sequentially in this manner until the beginning of , when they started at and so on, with the "2" indicating the second full year of manufacture.

To be able to tell you the wattage and impedence we would need to see the speakers inside of the cabinet, if you could send us a photo of the speakers and any information stamped on them we will do our best to help you.
I bellred out the speakers all roughly 10 ohms each, cabinet overall around 14 Ohms total but i don't have a proper tone generator to get a correct impedence. Questions Tags. All Questions. Vintage cabinet I would like to identify from serial number.
