I now have my gain on 6.5 instead of 5. No biggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members atrox Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 So, the C12 cap, for some reason, acts like a bright cap on the gain control (not the volume). Which is weird. And I'm not sure why it's there in the first place. Maybe so people will say it sounds like {censored} at low volumes like most of the good Marshall's. Regardless, this mod really makes the amp more usable and better at lower volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats me but Marshall is notorious for adding bright caps that are not needed...old plexi's (1959, 1987) are the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but those are on the volumes right? To me, that sort of makes sense even though I took mine off my 2203. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 That mod is essential in my opinion. It really does make it feel more like an extension of the green/crunch channel! I didn't realize you picked up a DSL though Billy It is such a solid sounding amp! Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
