Derrick	Re: Help with old marshall head Hey, I have a 1967 plexi and a 1971 100w super tremelo and I think I can at least address the tremelo problem. At first I thought something might be wrong with my Marshalls, but remember, much like other British amps such as VOX, the tremelo only works in the NORMAL channel. On a Marshall, that is channel "2" or "II". Try turning the INTENSETY all the way up, start with the SPEED in the middle, and plug your guitar into the top plug of channel "II". If you set the channel II's volume anywhere below 3/4 of the way up, the effect will be heard the best. I hope this helps you locate your tremelo. If it does not, then you may have a bad cap. or other bad component. Good luck, keep us posted! _Derrick
