Depends on what you're trying to cut, I guess.

@@SeanKerns I just tried it with a Tube Screamer.....sounds a LOT better !!!

You may well be right. I don’t have any fenders to try it with right now. But I know on a Marshall, which is originally based off the same circuit as most of the fenders, you can turn all the knobs all the way down except for the volume and still get sound out of them.

By a weird coincidence, I actually just saw the receipt for this the other day, and the total was $928. That was including shipping and a hard case which I know I paid extra for. I don't remember what the original price of the guitar was.

Cool! I actually swapped the tune-o on this one for a ricking bar bridge. It feels more "solid" to me.

I got my replacements from Antique Audio Supply (tubesandmore.com) in Arizona. I just looked up the values of the originals, and ordered similar values, though I always go a little bigger if I can't find original values. There are of course other suppliers as well, like Mojotone, Eurotubes, even Amazon.

@@SeanKerns thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it. I will order them. The amp is serial number 3071. It has those square magnet speakers. I checked the speaker impedance and the combined impedance was 7 ohms. I’m gonna test the amp with different speakers also. Do you know anything about the wiring of the extension cab jack? My questions is, does it disconnect the onboard speakers when engaged or combine with them? I have an 8 ohm cab, but I don’t want to take it to a lower load by combining it with the onboard speakers.

@@GoRobo237 Unfortunately, the external jack wasn't available on my British market build, and the internal speaker wiring was missing from the one I bought in the US, so I'm not sure how it wires up. There are a few schematics online for this model. I believe it is looking for an 8 ohm load from two 16 ohm speakers, which is what both of mine have. Neither had original speakers when I got them.

@@GoRobo237 BTW, the square magnet Eminence speakers (code starts with 67) are stock speakers for the amp. Originally they were designed for "Sound City Power Speakers", but they switched to Eminence fairly early on US market amp, because they could ship the amp much cheaper with no speakers, and put the Emis in once they got here.

@@SeanKerns I see, thanks again for your help. I didn’t know that about the speakers. I will say the stock speakers don’t sound that great. Very brittle which doesn’t do a super clean amp like this any favors. Maybe brand new it was a beautiful pristine clean sound. Today it is treble heavy like an ice pick. I went ahead and tried the ext cab plug with an 8 ohm load and it did disengage the internal speakers. So that’s good to know. I didn’t want to take it apart just to take a look at the jack. I tried two vintage 30’s and they sounded way better. More smooth, made the amp sound a lot less noisy too. Seems to roll off quite a bit more treble than the stock speakers.

I can't see why not. You could certainly try it.

@@SeanKerns It's mounted onto a board, not wires to pot so I don't think it can be done.

@@oldmanandguitar Yikes. Maybe not, then.

I liked the 5Y3 better, too.

Honestly, as a clean amp, it was a little bit dull sounding, but I think its target audience is mostly for people that like Marshall sounds. Either way, though, that amp is gone so I can’t do any more demos of it.

No, it wasn’t a preset, but I think I looked up the delay settings from the song and it wasn’t hard to make it work on that pedal.

​@@SeanKerns you nailed it. I'll look into that 👍 (late to the Strymon party, but I used one some months ago, and I liked it so much that I bought one. The newer "cooler" ones have less knobs to rapidly tweak and more menu diving.

According to the schematic, it switches in an additional half of a 12AX7 for more gain in the preamp. If that gives you visions of Boogies, it shouldn't. It literally just makes the amp louder and noisier, neither of which it needs.

@@SeanKerns so leave on 1?

@@colinparks619 Unless you need it to be louder, I would. I don't use mine for an overdrive sound, and I don't need it to be louder. I have other amps that can do overdrive without working hard, and if I really want overdrive from a Concord, I have lots of pedals.

@@SeanKerns gotya , I had heard of it being a half power switch

@@SeanKerns deff not louder it's already loooooud, mines a 1968 original run and sounds absolutely unreal

A lot of guitarists are looking for the mythical "Marshall overdrive and Fender clean in one amp", and a lot of manufacturers have tried to give it to them, with widely variable levels of success. This was not a success in that regard. But it sure does do the Marshall thing.

Not a USA model, no. I have a Korean one and a Chinese one.

Last I read, Bill will *every now and then* build a Centaur so his neighbor, a single mom, can sell one online to get some extra cash

​@@EclipseAtDuskhe seems like a great guy

Verily, it doth rock.

Propane!!!!

I didn’t pick the speaker.

@@SeanKerns Great demo. Not much out there about this amp.

I only see the 50 watt kit on their site currently. The 100W had KT88's, IIRC.

Yes, you are correct. Looking at the schematic and layout for both, the differences are the transformers, copper cap, and power tubes. I hope to get the 6H50 without tubes, copper cap or transformers, then see about getting the100 watt transformers and copper cap that is shown in the 6H100, as well as different tubes. I cannot decide between 6CA7 or 7581A...😂

@@jamescpht I actually had the 100W version a couple of years ago, and honestly, my recollection is that it didn't sound very different from the 50.

@SeanKerns ah, okay. That is good to know. I assumed making it 100 watts will produce even more headroom. However, it sounds like it may not be necessary. Perhaps a quad of JJ 6V6S will be a better idea.

I just did, actually.

Yes, thank you. I misspoke.

Actually, I ended up going back to the stock setup. Adding the bright cap actually made the amp noisier.

It's actually a Carvin Vai Legacy cab, loaded with V30's. The logo has been missing since before I got it. I popped the Marshall logo on because I had an extra, and I hate a vacuum. I personally find the Kemper to feel much more like a "real" amp running the power amp into a guitar cab, than running the line outs with speaker sims to a FRFR or PA or recording interface. It's the difference between a great amp and the recording of a great amp, if that makes sense.

On the boost question, I don't do it a lot, but my experience with running pedals into the Kemper is that it takes them very well.

@@SeanKerns thanks for the reply s.. I like my JCM 800 with an SD-1.. more snarl..
