    What are some good Fully Bypassable Marshall Plexi 1959HW Mods?

    I tried just about every mod there is with my PLEXI and after all of that, the only mods I would do are to add a PPIMV and remove the bright cap so the Vol.1 is more usable if not turned up all the way.

    Want my 2204 JCM modded

    No, I don't use noise gates. If had too, just plugged into the amp with no added gain, then that would tell me that the mod is not for me. The work itself is really easy for a good tech to do. I'm sure they would be happy to do it. lol $$$ Your basically just adding a few caps and couple...

    Want my 2204 JCM modded

    FWIW- I did the JEL mods on my 2203 and turned IT back to stock. Why? Well, even though the mods are easy and sounded cool at bedroom levels, it was very noisy - noise that comes with the mods. When I used it at rehearsal and at gigs, the JEL mod, was too much. Too much hiss and gain. Stock is...

    Deciding on pickups is tough

    Yep. Most of them sound generally the same and are way overpriced. I learned to just go with the pickups that came with my guitar, even the Squier pickups! Deepest rabbit hole / money pit you'll ever fall into. Good luck!

    "I'm the One" Swing analyzed.....how good was Ed's swing?....

    I don't understand all the hype or what is so difficult about that riff, especially the swing of it. :dunno:

    A man, his JCM800, Les Paul w/EMGs and a Boss SD-1..........circa 1993 can you guess who I am?

    2203s & 2204's of course. My fist Marshall was a channel switching 2205 and it was pretty cool. Kinda buzzy sounding but I didn't know much about Marshall or amps in general back then. I traded that for a 1974 Superlead. Had that for decades as my main amp. Now I have a 2203 and that rips!

    Spare space on my board, what pedal to get?

    Buying a pedal to fill a space....interesting logic.

    JCM 800 + SD-1 = Just about every 80s hair / metal guiatist's rig back in the 80s /90s. What an original sound. LOL Cool videos! Thanks for sharing.

    Strong hints that Van Halen 1 68 lead was just a slave amp and not the main amp.

    All this VH tone chasing from newbies just discovering him & his brown sound is getting really silly after all these years. Just Google it. It's not hard to dial in that sound with a PLEXI or 2203.
