After being intitially a bit dissappointed with the sound of my newly accquired 2204, I have decided to stick with it and see how it goes, but I like some opinions etc on what I plan to do.
I'm going to get the amp serviced first but would like a tiny bit more "crunch" from it when run at full blast. Can anyone suggest replacement valves that may do this or will it be a matter of the tech just getting the bias right?
I've a friend who works for another large amplifier manufacturer and can get the amp serviced for free/a few beers, or shall I bite the bullet and risk any expense of sending back to Marshall?
The cabinet is showing its age (after 31 years of gigging) and I would like to "refurb" it (new handle, corner protectors as two are missing). I've another friend who has a custom cab company and he will recover it etc for next to nothing. But my question is, he can do it any colour I want, as well as Marshall black, but I really fancy having it white and getting my cab (which also bears the scars of years on the road) done to match too.
How would this affect the resale price should I ever (not that I do) plan to sell it? Bearing in mind that the original vinyl is not in fantastic condition.
Cheers!!! :salude
