HTH 10W single ended 1980s style modded "Super-Marshall"

[Mr. Air]

the knobs going to 11 was THE major requirement from Jonathan  :lol:

But of course - it's one louder innit!!

Classic! I also love the part just earlier where he talks about the sustain of one of his LPs. That's funny too!

And come to think og it. Did Marshalls go to 11 before This is Spinal Tap or is it something they made up for the movie?

they made it up for the movie

Now knowing that they made it up for the movie leads me to this question: How many Marshall models do now go to 11?

Oh and by the way. Nice sounding amp. I like the idea of combining a plexi and hot rotted Marshall in one amp and I would love to try out the amp myself.

They had Nigel explain the JCM900, which went to 20

I want an "amp capo " now

[dave_mc]

It's a little noisy but not too bad
The Wampler is far worse

EDIT: I'd love to rebuild the Big D using larger size components : bigger size pots ,carbon comp resisters and boutique style caps - wouldn't need the bigger control , but would probably end up in a bigger box to fit itr all in

yeah, i heard a lot of squealing out of the wampler in your video, i don't think my big D is as noisy as your wampler. Thanks :)

What OT did you use here HTH? and did u decide to use a Conjunctive Filter?

It was a huge chuck of iron - a Hammond 125GSE.

The Hammond stuff is really nice, can't complain with the results I've had from them at all.

[JamesHealey]

Yea the GSE is a huge chunk, nice.

Im a Heyboer guy I've not tried the Hammond stuff yet but I've never been particularly keen on any of the tones coming from Hammond based builds, but then again yours sounds pretty damn good.

Guess it depends on what you're after tonally, But I really do rate the Heyboer kit.

[FELINEGUITARS]

We toyed with getting a Mercury Magnetics for it but the cost was just too high
The Hammond tranny is pretty big  - this amp weighs a lot for a 10W one

It started life as this (or at least the box, chassis and speaker did - we gutted the rest):

If they are correctly specified I bet they sound exactly the same!

And especially through the youtube compression/encoding, I bet only unicorns and elves can hear the difference :D

An OT in a single-ended amp will be much (sorry should be) much bigger than the OT in a push pull amp of equal power.

I've had very good results with Hammond transformers; they are very well built and can withstand quite a lot of abuse. My only real gripes are that they have two many winding/taps and that wiring the secondary in there OTs so that you can match different loads can be tiresome.

thats actually one of things I like about the Hammond gear - you can mess around with the primary Z and see what sounds best.  there is whats correct by the book and what sounds best.

as for the Heyboer stuff - do they make Marstran OTs ??? (or is that schumacker ???)
