Dear Mr. Goldmember, thank you, gracias, danke, grazie, salamat, obrigado, dank, and takk.

I can't thank you enough for the tip on the JJ ECC823 to tame the harsh fizzy red channel of my
Marshall DSL 15.
What a remarkable difference.
Got the tube yesterday and stuck it in V1 today and let er' rip. Man what a change.
Couldn't get the red gain over 4 or 5 before it started to sound like crap.
Really cleaned up the trash on the red channel, while the green channel remained untouched.

While I was in there I stuck a JAN Phillips 12AT7WC in V4, the phase inverter spot.
That also made a pleasing difference, though not as striking as the V1 change.
The phase inverter change seems to have brought out some clarity and touch sensitivity
that the amp was sorely lacking.

I can now dime the gain on the red channel, getting gobs of sustain without the squealing
and fizzy mess that it was on 4 or 5.

Lesson learned, when Goldmember speaks, it pays to listen.
Thanks again GM.:cheers:
 
Thanks so much, Hack! The Green channel remains untouched (which is the real gem of the amp), while the Red is tamed.
I'm glad you dig the switch to the ecc823, and it removes any need for mods. I eventually changed the speaker to a Greenback,
but it's not absolutely necessary. Cheers! :cheers:
