I proudly own a '72 PTP Marshall superbass which I use as a guitar amp. I fell the need to inprove the 3 preamp tubes because I think that head "needs" high-quality tubes. I want to keep the typical Marshall sound. What do you suggest me mainly for v1 and v2? I want to spend not more than 60-70 $. Thanks for your help.

What do you think about Marshall superbass heads (for guitar use)? Is it easy to convert them to lead specs?

Hi, I just bought a Laney VH100R 100 watt head. I really didn't need 100 w of power but it was a cheap 2nd hand well sounding amp and so... I'm now thinking about what speakers to combine with it. My idea is to buy a 2x12 cabinet loaded with celestion speakers. What COMBO of speakers do you think work fine with that cab? Take in mind my power\wattage related problems.... so -Should I install a 100w\50w switcher to reduce power amp wattage increasing the speakers effectiveness (consider also the beautiful power amp early overdrive and the saving in power tubes) or -Should I simply load the cabinet with speakers that guarantee me the right wattage? (It is true that for rock music you need a cab with much more watts than your power amp output?) I thank you in advance if you want spend 2 minuts to clear some novice's doubts.

Thanks

Hi Myles, first of all I want to say that I'm gratful to you for your useful informations. I'm now searching for a new amp. I'm thinking about a 50 w head. My nesessities are 3 channels, effect loop(s) and possibly 2 master volumes (and naturally the other usual controls), but I have to say that I'm more interested in a good sound (obviously) than in a lot of features. I'm willing to accept a non-super clean but I really want 2 awesome overdrive channels, versatiles enough and very sensible to eq and gain adjustments. I don't need extreme amounts of gain (just enough to play some riffs in early Metallica style ) but I want a full crunch and a screaming lead (as maybe all other guitarists....). Are you so kind to give me some advices thanks to your experience? P.s. More or less I can spend 1000 $ for a new head. I'm also open to used solutions. Thank you very much and sorry for my english...... I'm italian.
