Texas blues? Lower the gain on the crunch channel.
It's capable of a Marshall-style clean with a little break up as player digs into the string or adjusts the volume knob on his guitar. Because it's not a hi-gain channel, when you roll back the volume on your guitar it cleans up and becomes very dynamic. This channel is perfect for rhythm or bluesy solos depending on where you set the Gain and Volume controls. The crunch channel is similar to the second channel on a Marshall 6100LM 30th anniversary head (Joe Satriani, Alex Lifeson-Rush were 6100LM users.). Think of it as three all-tube amps, each with different circuitry. The Triple Super Lead is a versatile three channel amp. From crystal clean to the mightiest Marshall roar, the TSL does it all! Marshall amps are all about TONE and FEEL and with the TSL100, you can have three variations at all times! Clean: a Fender-ish sort of standard sound.īy giving you three independent channels and many innovative features, the all-valve TSL range puts an unheard of degree of control, flexibility and, most importantly, TONE at your finger tips.Lead: just what is sounds like, the Marshall way.Crunch: perfect for rhythm or bluesy solos.Three incredible sounds in one very loud package.Sculpt an Almost Infinite Array of Tones! Who wouldn't love two great Marshall distortion and gain channels and one clean channel all packaged in one amp? Nobody! The TSL 100 is a 100 watt, 3 channel, all tube head that features reverb and a whole lot of Marshall sound!
Marshall tsl 100 pro#
Pro Audio Equipment Pro Audio Equipment.Telenut62, IF you clear that last PCB out of that chassis, you have the basis for a very good amp there!! All you need are two good trannies and a new circuit. Both of those amps' contruction makes this Marshall above look like well.a Hot Rod Deluxe/Deville.because it is much the same in quality.and sound, imho. He had to admit that the VM couldn't touch the Boogie.or the Pro Sonic sitting next to it.
I let the owner of the Vintage Modern hear just a bit of what a Boogie MKIV will do.from cleans to tweeds to hig gain. YMMV.but I don't listen to logos.and these amps do not sound like a true Marshall, imho. $2k+ for something like this?/ Not in my world. there is way too much SS for my tastes in them, too.reverb is digital, much of the OD is in IC's. I had a Vintage Modern open the other day.I don't care to work on those either. DSL.JCM 900's.they are a far piece from being true tube amps. Do you think ordinary Radioshack parts will do to replace the "cheap" Marshall 220k resistors, or would I be wise to look for some special resistors online? The writer refers to "metal-film-resistors," so I'm guessing I should find these from Mouser or some other supplier.Īs far as I am concerned this thread could have stopped at 'nightmare'.I don't care if these amps work or not. I soldered them to the sockets at tube V5"). I decided not to solder these resistors back into their former place. This resistor and the resistor R8 (also 100 Ohms) balance the heater-filaments to GND.
Marshall tsl 100 code#
Did you replace any caps? I can see the color code of the resistors in your photo (gold, red, blue, green).The array at V5 is a bit more elaborate in the lynx photo with what looks like the addition of two resistors soldered in parallel to R6's trace that don't appear in your photo (reading further I found out how the V5 resistors are changed and re-routed: ".you need to desolder the 100 Ohms resistor R78. I hadn't realized that the fix involves removing or drilling away the PCB around pin 5 of the socket prong with a hole saw or dremel tool as well as directly soldering the new (5.6K) resistors to the pin. The Dr Tube unit looks pretty simple, but your fix may be cheaper with more readily available parts, and simple also. I found the page you refer to, before posting here, and another with a pre-assembled off-board unit that is supposed to correct the problem:
The amp you worked on had the first number I believe).
Marshall tsl 100 serial numbers#
I'd like to open the head up and see if it has one of the serial numbers that were known to have issues with the drifting bias (JCM2-60-00 and JCM2-60-02). No news in this case was bad news the tech never heard. He shelved it in understandable frustration and never informed the tech about the last failure. After maybe three trips to the shop for repair it failed again. The tech "fixed" it after the first failure, but it continued to die shortly after he got it back from each trip to the tech. He bought it new, and it was okay for quite awhile. My friend's amp initially began to exhibit issues after many long hours of working fine.
