parallel caps in Marshall curcuit

[dumbassbob]

I just wanted to know why they used 2 caps "piggybacked"..I use my 100watt everyday,Playing live it is no big deal It cuts right through I can hear myself..In my room I use a reactive load,and I can send one balanced line to a mixer with my rack DDLs and Reverbs The other to a 2x12 cab I still play loud but I put a SD-1 in front...I have good NOS tubes in both amps too..That and my 63 Bandmaster I get a good tone ..The first riissue SLP are good amps..After 96 they started to put FX loops and it changed the sound...The Handwound Jimi ri are horrible the Transformers are crap All that $$$$

As mentioned, they parallel the caps to get them to the exact values measured in a particularly good sounding amp on that run of reissues.
Also mentioned due to an at least 10 to 20 percent tolerance of the parts used it was a ridiculous waste of time used to hype the product to increase sales, mojo or bragging rights for the owners.

You have no idea the silly amounts of money some of my musician friends spent on mods done to their amps by certain well known hucksters because the hair band of the month on MTV had it done back in the day.

Usually installing a cathode cap on V1b on 2203's or 2204's.

With the 5700pf I was talking about the Bright cap, Not the Tone Stack or Mixer Silver Micas..My 93 plexi tone stack is 470pf with a 33K slope (R).NOS Tubes make all the difference RCA,Sylvania,and a Mullard in the preamp...Matsuitua 6CA7 power amp
