1987x Treble issue in 5.1

This thread got me screwing around with the 1987 again.

I engaged the bright cap. With the default setting wasn't getting quite the kerrang I was looking for. Set it to 600pf, and there for my guitar was the sweet spot.

Between the plexi models and the JCM 800 model, I have done the unthinkable. I have put my electra dyne up for sale. Killer amp, but I want a real plexi in my room. That or a real 2204. Why do I need one one might ask? I just love having cool gear. And for all these years I thought I was a gibson man only to find I am a strat man and went with two Suhr strats. Was a mesa guy though and through till I picked up an ultra and found I spent all my time on the marshall presets

It is kick ass being able to mod these amps on the fly

I was a Strat/ Tele only guy for 30 years and now I'm almost exclusively playing my Tokai Les Paul since I bought it last August. Changes...

:D Oh, the fun you could have!
If a JCM800, why not the 2203 over the 2204? I found the 2203 to have just a bit more.. something. But, like all early Marshalls, they demand some volume to get cooking. If you go anything else Marshall, I would highly suggest the Metro Amp forum. Mark (Rockstah) is one of many brilliant minds/hands over there; he can provide nearly any Marshall sound you want, some even at low(er) volume (at a price, of course). By building your own, especially with a simpler design like that, you know your amp inside and out. The support from fellow builders/players over there is staggering IMO, so even if you get the slightest bit lost, someone should be able to help. Just be careful to not get too lost, lol.

Hehehe!!!
The 2203 definitely gets its own room :D Plus, I love having something to torture drummers that love to hit their snare while setting up (scaring the crap out of me every damn time.. making me drop stuff, spill drinks..;) )
