Love the 1960, owned an Ampeg V4, sounded amazing but my back was breaking trying to lug it around. Sold it and bought a JCM800 2203, thought that was it for amps for me until I found the 1960. There’s something so raw about its gain structure that’s so fucking killer, does tight stuff well, does filthier looser tones even better. Sold the JCM800 and kept the 1960 and my wallets never felt better. I’d love a copy of the schematics incase this thing ever goes tits up, and also to add a Resonance control to the amp so I can dial in those tighter tones without blasting it with a TS
We did a side by side of a 1978 I believe, Super Lead Marshall. It's the EXACT tone. Dare I say even better..... Blasphemy I know. But try purchasing a Super Lead for $500! I will attempt to post a link to it. Where you can download it for yourself. If the link does not work. Shoot me an Email and I will send the file. It's literally the entire service manual. Someone at Berhinger must have got pissed off.
Just bought one brand new for $299. It had set in my local music store for nearly a decade. I ask the sales clerk for the store manager. After talking to the manager, he told me that this head was tried out countless times on a 4x12 Marshall 1960A cab with Celestion Green backs, everybody loved the Marshall tone, but could not get over the fact that it was made by Bugera. He said I could walk out the door with it go $299. While I was leaving with the head, I causally asked how many of those that demoed this amp had actually bought a Marshall 1959 reissue. Not a single one could afford to buy a 1959 reissue. SpectreSoundStudios just released a RU-vid vid detailing this exact amp. He paid $256 used for his. I run mine into a Torpedo Captor X. Great attenuator with an IR loader into a Marshall 1960A JCM 900 cab. The best sounding IR is by far the Celestion Greenback. If you would please, could I get a PDF copy of the service manual?
What's the point of having a 100 watt head if you're just going to knock it down with an attenuator? 😆 Yeah, they're pretty awesome. No problems with mine yet. I'll try to post the link here.
Very cool! Yeah, I gotta line on some very cool twisted cables. Cloth cover, Jute cover. They make for great looking and very durable speaker cables. Hell of a lot heavier than what the big companies put out. So, if I can supply these on the side. I'm happy to do it.
Good video...and info..would love a copy of manual..How would you send a copy, do you need email address etc. I,m in Scotland UK .Regards and best wishes.
