Best "brown sound" I ever heard that sounds like Van Halen I is a Bray modified Marshall. No clue what he did....but damn.

yep... this and a Variac control in the Axe and that would be it right there. those Brays sound damn fine.Best "brown sound" I ever heard that sounds like Van Halen I is a Bray modified Marshall. No clue what he did....but damn.
I love this subject and find it fascinating.
On the AFX II I go for jumped plexi with just the high channel maxxed gives a really authentic percussive VH1 tone.
Groovenut said:I dont believe this is possible yet with just one control. We can simulate some of the side effects of the variac with the Sag and Damping controls, as well as the B+ Time constant, but its not going to get you the exact same thing as lowering the B+ voltage on the whole amp or just the power section. However, given that Cliff has included the ability to choose AC or DC power, adding (if it's not already in there) and revealing a B+ voltage control that effected the whole amp or just the power section is only a few steps away. Incidentally this is how Power Scaling (and the Power Scale control on amps like the Badger) works.
Nice tweak, but going for EVH tone w/ V30s instead of Greenbacks? I'm confused.OH 412-MAR-CB-V30-Studio - Mic set to null - Ultra Rez - lvl 0db

Hehe...dialing with ears instead of eyes.
true. that was a really good sounding mod. schematics for that mod must be out there somewhere. we should try find it and get it to Cliff's attention...Best example of a clone I've ever heard was a Marshall with the Rockstah mod... unbelievably close tone and unbelievably good playing and technique he had...

Here's a sample. First half is wet and the second totally dry. Hoping to give an idea of the dynamics and how the amp feels and sounds at different volumes and such. This is literally tinkering with all of the mistakes in tact. You've been warned.
Here are the changes that I've made. It's a rather rude and crude amp and needs improvements. I'm just half assed guessing at what to change based on what I'm reading. If anyone more versed in these things wants to offer some suggestions I'm all ears!
100 watt Plexi amp
Input Drive 5.43
MV 10
Base, Mid, Treble, Pres = 10
Bright = On
Dynamics: Supply Sag 1.34, B+ Time Constant 30ms
Power: Pwr Tube Bias .827, Triode Hardness 3.543

I think it's called the "Mod 5". But Mark used to say that each amp was it's own thing. And each one ended up being tuned slightly differently ( by his ear ) !
