can anybody get the brown sound with a lead voice like we listened too last night ? that was a 60watt class ab fixed bias rig.
This is about "trainwreck " ken .
Les Krygier: I saw Ken's ad in a local musician's paper and had heard about his reputation, for hot rodding Marshall amplifiers, by word of mouth. I always had at least six Marshall Super Lead, Model 1959, 100-watt heads and scores of cabinets on hand. The sound I was going for at the time was the tone on the first Van Halen album.
Ken dialed that one right in, but said he though he could do better on the solo tones if he modded an amp just for lead work. With six heads I had nothing to lose, and within a few weeks he had developed a one channel, one input pre-amp and phase inverter for one of my heads. The modified amp had more gain on two than it did stock on ten. It was very thick and very loud, and harmonics literally jumped out of it.
