PlEASE HElP,
I have a Marshall JCM 60, which I was told was some kind of promo model and I have never seen one like it, and it is a small stack with a 410 cab. I bought it new 7 years ago and have had good luck with it. Dirty it is a true marshall, but clean it is guttless. It has no power! Anyway, I had some prob's with it and I had a local tech fix it and replace the origanal tubes. I liked the tone but it was still guttless. I recently had it worked on again and this guy replaced the rectifirer and all the cap's. He put in an origanal set of '72 GE's Great Britians 150 gain and some new fender pre gain tubes. Now it sounds really good clean and has more power but is really twangy. No bottom end. Why? I play primarilly blues and I nead that bottom end and warm tone. I have never really had that. One of the guy's I play with told me that it was because I had 4x10's. Is this true? Also, my head has 16ohm and 8/16ohm outputs for my cab. Can I plug into the 8ohm instead of the 16 and get more out of the cab? I have also went to a larger string size and that has helped with the bottom end. I guess I will have to increase my size again. Any help appreciated by this TRUE NOVICE!
 
410s are more than enough for a killer lowend.

My superReverb is 410s and I have more lowend than I will ever need.
 
You should email Bob at www.eurotubes.com and explain to him the exact tone you are after. He'll set you up with tubes matched to the tone you want. This will be an easy/cheap way to go, you'll be surprised what a retube with quality tubes will do to your amp.
