Ok this is a very longshot. We're talking 3 mile long Afghanistan veteran sniper shot here.

I have a 1975 Marshall 2068 model 'Artiste' 100 watt top/head.

I want to mod it.

I'm looking for forums or schematics or videos for modding the channels to plexi and 2203 specs.

Any links greatly appreciated. I'll be taking it all to a qualified tech, just want to know what me options are in advance.

THANKS!!

He can probably lead you in the right direction.

Pretty sure I want to cascade the channels, as found here.... robrobinette.com/Generic_Tube_Amp_Mods.htm And add a mid boost and possibly a post phase inverter MV.

Thanks, I joined that forum a while back and have been searching for something specific to the 'Artiste' . . . the fact that it was Marshall's version of the Fender Twin without midrange controls is definitely challenging.

The 6L6 power section is going to yield a unique glassy tone, no matter what, but I'm working on geting the two preamps modded so that it can get the crunch of a plexi and the singing lead tones of a 2203. I have found a modder who thinks he can pull this off, and maybe even get power scaling in place as well

I SURE DO APPRECIATE THE REPLIES!!
