Marshall 18 Watt 1974X ECC803S V1 Option

Product Details

Looking for a vintage vibe? This is the ECC803S V1 Option Retube Kit for the Marshall 18 Watt 1974X and 18/20 watt Clones. The preamp section uses a JJ Long Plate ECC803S for V1 for a little lower gain with big thick mids and a little more sparkle in the highs for the Normal channel, a standard ECC83S for V3 and a balanced ECC83S for the phase inverter in V2. The power tubes are a matched pair of the JJ EL84's along with a JJ EZ81 Rectifier tube.

The Balanced ECC83S is located in V2 which is the middle of the three pre amp tube positions. The ECC803S is located in V1 which is physically farthest from the power tubes.

Combo amps are very hard on tubes because of vibrations which can cause tube rattle with any brand of tube. If your amp is the combo version and you play by yourself in a quiet environment or record with your amp you may want to consider using the EuroDamper tube damper rings for the EZ81 and the two power tubes. These are available in the "Related Products” tab as a set of three. These will greatly decrease tube rattle.

These are cathode bias amps with no adjustment as are most all 18 and 20 watt Clones. The amount of clean headroom you’ll get from the power section is somewhat dictated by the grade of power tube used. A cooler grade of EL84’s will give you more clean headroom, whereas a warmer grade will give you earlier breakup. If you order online, leave us a note in the comments section letting us know your headroom preference (max headroom, middle of the road or early breakup).
