You can make small reversible mods to separate channels to make one Super Lead and one Super Bass. I did this to one and used it for a few years. Great amps.

Cosmetically its pretty bad but it works on all channels, one speaker output makes a popping sound but the other is fine.
I didnt think it had amazing value - compared to a superlead 100 say - its probably not even work as much as a friedman, so why not mod this one to be more flexible and its the "real deal" vintage marshall. (i'm not really after the high gain thing anyway)
I'll try and get some photos soon and see what you all think - at the moment its just not getting used at all, so I'd rather mod it and use it than leave it to not be played...

If someone wants to use a 4 channel 100w marshall head in 2019 pm me and we'll see if we can agree on a price
I guess I like the idea of "resto mods" when it comes to cars - so the same thinking applied to this idea for the amp, but I see some people think its sacrilege...

Even doing *necessary* work on old Marshalls in the past (filter caps on motorboating 69 PA head, blown mains transformer on a 71 SL head spring to mind) I couldn't shake the feeling I was doing something wrong to history with the soldering iron.
It's your amp mate.

Seems a shame to mess with that tbh. I dare say nobody would molest them if it had been marketed as a guitar head instead of a PA head, it would be regarded as an all-time classic.
Just write "guitar" on the front with chalk, plug it in and enjoy it.
I assumed its a pretty non invasive mod (and one thats done regularly) to do PPIMVs on old marshalls.
My idea was just doing this twice then A/B/Y manually switching the channels, im not talking about relays and digital switching blah blah, it'd be just like having two mastervolumed 100w marshalls in one box.
Plenty of people have old 100ws and 50ws with MVs fitted and they're by all account easily reversible, is there a reason it would be hard to implement twice in the same amp and still use two of the channels (switching with an ABY?)

The only way to get what you want without hacking the chassis even more for extra valve sockets is with relay switching.
