What kind of tubes does marshall use

Using a different type or model will damage your amplifier. Can I put different types of power valves in my amplifier? Power valves should ways be replaced with the same type and model. All power valves should be replaced at the same time. Your amplifier will also need to be re-biased to match the new valves. We do not recommend mixing the power valves as this will damage your amplifier. Always use the same type and model and ensure they are replaced at the same time.

Valves glowing in this way are not necessarily faulty but it is best to have it check by a qualified engineer. Power valves should be replaced every 18 months to 2 years and all valves should be changed at the same time. The amplifier should then be re-biased. Preamp valves should be replaced every 4 years and can be replaced individually. Does altering the bias change the sound of my unit or how long the valves last? Hear for yourself how the Marshall JMP plug-in emulates all of the bold punch and dense crunch of this legendary tone monster.

When in half-power mode, power tube compression and grit and less clean headroom are the order of the day. A distinctly modern sounding amp, with more gain on tap than the amps, and a bit more bass response, the SIlver Jubilee is especially lethal when paired with its matching AV 4x12 cabinet. Loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s — the first Marshall cab that used these popular speakers.

Know Your Marshalls. Learn the Differences Between Marshall Amps. Mentioned UA Gear. With these differences and the different brand caps, it shows you that Marshall still uses whatever parts are available to them at any given time. Both heads are fantastic though and sound the same to my ears.

They work. They glow. Look for that clip. The TAD set has that clip too. A new, old-stock valve, either European, American or Japanese doesn't cost much more. The Japanese Matshushita, Toshiba valves are quite spectacular in comparison and thanks to snobbery, can be had for peanuts.

Power valves. The small price difference pays dividends in terms of the sound. Matched output valves? Matched phase inverter? The slight mismatch to my ears makes little to no difference and may actually contribute to a more pleasant sound. Hi-Fi it aint. You're producing, not reproducing sound. JJ or Russian output valves, rebias, crank it, and enjoy. Mar 16, 9. Posts: 6, Greggorios and Ziggy like this.

For power tubes, JJ or Tung-Sol depending on the tube model. I don't know if that ever happened. Age: 46 Posts: 1, Didn't notice a difference other than "worn out vs new". Lynxtrap , LudwigvonBirk , Chunkocaster and 5 others like this. Mar 18, Thanks, everyone!

I'm still undecided about the preamp tubes, though. I just read this first post and found it very helpful Posts: 3, Tesla hand tests all his tubes, can't beat the quality, hard to find though BobbyZ likes this. Mar 19, Apr 5, I finally got some things to report. On this amp, you really have to turn the volume up to o'clock to get it to sound right. Anything below 3 and the tone is thinner with a sort of screechy and annoying high end. I also decided to replace all of the preamp tubes.

Being that I got this amp used, I have no way of knowing the age of the preamp tubes that were in there for all I know the previous owner stuck his oldest tubes in there when he decided to sell it.

Also, the V1 tube is unmarked breathing on it didn't reveal any markings. As for V1, I got three different tubes. All three boast low microphonics.
