Marshall Majors used 4 x KT88s.


None of the marshalls I ever saw used KT88's

Almost all UK Majors had KT88's. The first few
Major's (via Rose Morris n UniCord) had 88's,
then they switched to 6550's. This allowed the
amps to loft along, due to the less demanding
needs of 6550's. A Major with 6550's sounds very
little like one with KT88's. Of course, bias needs
to be tweeked. Alot of folks who dislike Major's
only heard them with 6550's. And today's KT88's
are not the same. Thank God I have a good supply
of real GEC's. Put aside for old age, ya know.

Besides, a Major on a slant 4-12 cab looks awesome.

Head is as deep as the cab top (11" I believe)

Last killer Major 1/2 stack I saw, because he paid me
danger $ for the KT88's ($200 each in 98) had a cab
full of old white cap'ed SRO speakers. He had to put
bricks behind the wheels, because the amp would roll
backwards when played. He liked the cab being off the
ground, but hated to chase it every other song.

Newest GP shows 'KRANK' amps using surface mount resistors
in the POWER AMP stage ?????????? Flocking ****** design.

Major's had chassis mounted round power resistors.

Transformers that weigh more then today's amps, cab n all.

Guess the times, they are a changing...
