I'm searching details about my single rectifier tone stack. V1A,B & V2A are marked as gain, but which one is the tone recovery ? Also, i've compared the Lead channel with the one in the mini serie : V3A&B are indicated as cathode follower/Tone Recovery in the mini, but simply marked as gain...

Hi dude ! Wow, brillant, congrats ! I think you really have it :) As a big fan of the MOP, i've never found the sound of the G12T75 close to the sound of MOP. There's not the caracteristic spike in the highs, not this famous articulation into the bass (than you can found with a C90 or a CL80)...

:P

@silverwulf : OK i understand the story and i agree with you. MOP was made on G12-T75. Nice to be sure now. Cheers.

I've found new interestings evidences : Pic of the Marshall Sweet Silence 1960A (i presume it was the one used on RTL) Pic of the Marshall Sweet Silence 1960A (the one used by james on Master) A 1964A Cab like the one used on master =>...

@Silverwulf : Very interesting. After revising the flemming notes, it's correct, 300w cabinets were used for battery song at least (evidence below). I don't know if it's james or Kirk set but it means that it's not G12-65. I will dig for the original date of the G12-75 and the cab serial...

@boogieordie : there are no 300 watts produced in Marshall catalog at these time, it's cleadly stated in the books of reliable people. And the speaker next on the Marshall production list was the G12-70M, not the G12-75T. Last, the notes you are talking about are for Kirk amp, and this song was...

Hi Silverwulf, could you please post pics and the serial code of your G12T-75, it's interesting ? I had a 1984 G12-T75 speaker and it is by far the older one i've seen on the market. I wasn't aware of a 1983 G12T-75 speaker. How do you know it was the stock speaker ? I can hear that Marshall...

From Jim Marshall himself : https://books.google.fr/books?id=5NGGDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT191&dq=g12T75&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-x4zfhdDgAhUQmxQKHQ5NDXIQ6AEIMjAB#v=onepage&q=g12T75&f=false

Do you think Marshall order Celestion speaker one by one ? They make huge batch command to Celestion, so these GT75 could have be made in the end of 84 send to marshall, assembled in a 1960 cabinet and sold on the market in 1985. Check the Marshall History book (a serious source, not a one...

"I'll tend to defer to the man who produced the album and buy into his accurate notes that were taken at the time of the recording more so than someone thinking back and trying to speculate 30+ years later" From Flemming himself : Carry on... :mrgreen:

Here is my source, Rasmussen himself : "Flemming Rasmussen: Well we first discussed it together about what they wanted to sound like in and how to go about achieving it, but I have to say there were a lot of guitar amp issues at first. On the first album we did together, Ride The Lightning we...

No answer means no reliable source, means i'm just right. Nobody know in really what's speaker was used exactly, that's all.

How do you know they've played on a G12T75 on RTL/MOP ? Any reliable source ?

It's hard to deduct the amp and cab used on RTL from flemmins interviews : . So we only know that he have to buy a new amp in July 1984. Could be a JMP or JCM 800 head, with probably Jose Arrondo modification and 6505 tubes as he have previously. We have no information about the cab, except it...
