Quick Playthru of an original Jose Arrendondo modded Marshall from 1971. This amp was serviced and verified by master amp guru David Friedman (thank you Dave!!) and now its here for all of us to enjoy! (I up the gain later in the video)
I was able to buy 2 of these amps and one of them went to one of my best friends who is a serious collector and this one stayed with me. The seller bought the 2 amps brand new, took them to Jose Arrendondo for these mods on both amps. Both amps had identical mods. Apparently he played them in stereo with his band in the 80's. They both needed recapping and a service so they immediately went to David Friedman at Racksystems. There is probably a handful of people in the world qualified to identify and to work on these vintage masterpieces.
