Hello Everyone,
I am a guitar player with too much antiquated gear and not enuff time to keep all of it in good playable condition. I am searching for anyone that has expertise in repairing/modding the following items:
- Marshall 100w amplifier model 1959. Purchased from L&M in 1980, the amp provided me with many years of great sound and reliability despite being hauled all over the continent. I had a basic effects loop installed and replaced the power transformer after I made the stupid mistake of adjusting the bias and blew the transformer. The amp still functions, it sounds good but not great. I would like a complete overhaul including a possible mod to add a gain stage.
- MXR Micro Amp. Works but with reduced output level. This pedal is still being manufactured and does one thing very well, it increases gain by up to 26+ dB without significantly colouring the sound. I used it as part of a rack effects rig in which the impedance was lowered from the Pre-amp output via a direct box and thus needed to be “boosted” at the Power amp input. The Micro Amp provided a nice transparent clean boost and my rack effects ran very clean with lots of headroom with this arrangement.
- DOD 690 Stereo Chorus Pedal. Manufactured in the early 1980’s, purchased from a deadbeat Reverb seller in 2016. The pedal arrived DOA and I have been searching for a competent repair person ever since. An interesting chorus effect that has 2 speeds as well as an internal power supply. For me personally it was a very cool pedal, intense enough to provide lush chorus sounds and versatile with the option of increasing or decreasing the chorus speed, via a footswitch. Nice rotating speaker (Leslie) effects with 1/1,000th the weight of a Leslie cabinet.
- Rodam Speaker Director 100. Powered by a 9 volt battery, this small direct box was essential in attaining my “Rack of Doom” sound. As mentioned above it was used as an impedance attenuator with some of the rack effects I was using at the time (incidentally all those effects were ANALOG). Does not work at all.
I would appreciate any assistance in getting all this stuff repaired. Time is ticking...
Thanks to all!
