Beefy

Hi again gentlemen, Been off digging about and got on to great forum. The problem seems to be the capacitors, they are the originals and need to be replaced. I have heard that marshall actually courier your amp up and down and you only pay the repair costs! Am off to email them, Will let you know how I get on. As I am on a very strict budget due to 3rd child about to appear in may (3 girls, I think I will set up home in my Vdub campervan!!) i think i will have a go myself. The only dangerous bit is discharging the caps but I have instruction on that too, (fingers crossed). Anyone know if there is anywhere local i can get a hold of such things? I presume maplin would be first call. Forum is www.metroamp.com/forum/index.php Very friendly people with lots of interest in all things amps, not just the classic brands Cheers once again guys, much appreciated. Anyone out there heard anything about the new peavey valveking head? Read a great review of the combo.

I got it from Ally who used to be in The Last Divide many moons ago. As far as I know before that it was Steve's (from R+B). there was some talk of rory gallagher having owned it at one point but have no idea if that is true or not. It is too good nick for that to be true i reckon.

Single- I love Rock n Roll- Joan jett and the Black Hearts Album- Number of the Beast- Iron Maiden after hearing it in primary 6 at Dyce primary on one of those Coomber tape machines with loads of headphones, Thanks Sid ( or "teabags" as he was known then.........I'm gonna pay for that at Toms!!) Compilation- Now thats what I call music (Things went a bit down hill at this point.) What about first gig and worst/most embarrassing gig? 1st- Motorhead at the capitol, what a baptism of fire! Worst- Belinda Carlisle at Edinburgh Playhouse, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugghhhhhhhhhh!!! sorry i will accept a beating anytime for that one.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, Any other suggestions as to where I could get it repaired? Not up for tinkering, too many burned fingers and melted wellies to start that nonesense again!!

I wonder if anyone can help? I have a 1972 Marshall Artiste 2X12 combo and when it is on form it is an amazing amp. About a year ago it developed a problem that after about 40 mins playing the bottom end just starts to dissapear. I replaced all the tubes but the problem continued and kinda forgotten about. Since plans to start playing again are afoot I need to get it working. Cleaned all switches pots etc but problem persists. Anyone got any ideas before taking it to Bruce Millers and forking out a fortune before anyone will even take the dust cover off it? Cheers!

Indeed it is Mr Frosty.
