I just got this back from Wilder Amplification. Jon has a mod for the Marshall DSL/TSL amps. He also builds his own amps, does repairs and mods.

 

Here are some clips that Wilder made after putting his mod on my DSL50 plugged straight in, no pedals. Apologies for all the background recording static:

They are raw recordings. The amp has never sounded better and in person the {censored}ing mids on this thing are meat, the lowend tight and big. I've got a toggle switch to run it on the choke or resistor too if I want a bit of sag.

 

Listen I hear some good stuff in those clips given the recordings are unpolished and raw as {censored} not to mention low volume. In person it puts the biggest smile on my face. I luv it.

 

Just thought I'd share...if you think its nothing special or even {censored} sounding thats fine.

I wasn't implying anything about the amp...just pointing out that a guy asked for the link when it was clearly posted already.

Jon was playing Devil's stomp and a couple more Badlands tunes but he didn't make clips of those. He'd call me on the phone and play the amp for me so I could hear it while he was modding it hehe. There is some classic crunch AC/DC in those clips too.

I already had the MM OT and 3H choke on mine and had him add the MM Fat stack PT so I get no starvation/thinness at volume. Then he did his mod.

Hey what's up Solar? Glad you like the new mods!
:thu:

Did you have the Voodoo and FJA mods undone?

 

Hey Z!

 

Jerry undid Voodoos mods and put his in.

 

Jon tweaks the gain stages and messes with certain component values. I'm not a tech so you'd have to ask him. To tell you the truth I'm not sure how much of Jerry's circuit mod is there. Voodoo's are gone though.

 

I would have had Jerry rework my amp but I get raped in shipping costs to NY. So I went with Wilder due to him living in Cali which is much closer and he seemed to know a great deal about amps. Turned out to be a very good move all around for me. After all the tone I want is what is most important to my playing and I tried everything else I knew how to do(like rolling NOS tubes, speaker changes etc).

 

I got what I wanted and yes I am done modding this amp hehe.

I PM'd you.

 

Remember I have the MM OT and MM PT as well as a choke. These will add to the bigness and tightness but Jon's(Wilder's)mod will still give you the voicing of what I have. Its what the DSL's should have sounded like out of the box IMO.

Thanks for the PM solar :thu:


Couple of quickies - was that the TOTAL price and was that all you did on your mod? So basically can i get that sound for the $$ you told me?


Just couble checking, thanks again

Pretty much the voice of that tone is coming from the mod. Its a killer tweak.

 

You would add shipping to that both ways. You're going to have to figure that out. I'm in Washington and it cost me $80(I put worth of amp @ $700 to be insured)one way so $160 for a round trip. It can be less if you don't cover it with insurance or declare a lesser value. Oh I also paid for packing it too(double boxing)so that ran the shipping cost up too.

 

{censored}ing worth every cent...

How Funny!

I just went and dropped off my marshall at UPS to send to Jon. Come back and click on harmony central and there is Wilder Amps. I'm getting the Ultimate 80's mod in mine. The clips he sent me of your amp(DSL) and the modded plexi tone absolutely kill!
