Vintage Marshall Peter Dinklage Silver Jubilee-UPDATE 8/10/25: Speaker Swap

[RobB]

Clean sounds are nice. OD sounds a little ragged unless the preamp gain is all the way up. Sounds KILLER with a Bogner LaGrange. 

I ordered a Purple Plexi from the last Lovepedal blast. Can't wait to pair 'em up.

What is a "Peter Dinklage"? 

A friend had one of those Marshall Zakk Wylde mini stacks. It was fun to play.

He's the short actor that played in Game of Thrones 

[mrjamiam]

Known for his Space Pants.

I want to gig with several mini Marshall stacks as a backline and a custom built full size Chiquita.

Haha, I thought it was some kind of mod done to the amp.

Tanx, mang! '81 Greco MSV, all original with, "Screamin'" PAFs. I can't afford a real 70s Gibson V, but this is a very nice replica.

I got it on a trade deal I couldn't pass up. It IS fun to play, the perfect size for my apartment.

I played all through college with a guy that used nothing but one of those with a Boss EQ pedal in front. I thought it sounded amazing compared to my Bandit 65 (and it did). 🤣

ETA: his was red - really cool stuff BITD.

The 'Peter Dinklage Mod': Everything is at 50%, worse when it's cold.

Not to be confused with the Peter "Shrinkage" mod 😂

He was also in the recent remake of Snow White.

Must be something he regrets. What a low point in ones career. 😆

my wife wants to see this group this fall, I'm ambivalent.  Those stacks would be perfect, I wouldn't be surprised if they had some

I think only the drummer plays live - the other 3 mime, but it's funny as hell.

I love the Purple Plexi I bought. Ran both an Amp 11 Eternity and a Plexi 100 Pro off my board.

I had one and stupidly sold it during my Soldano era. The Purple Plexi has that big, fat midrange. 

Once I sell my Bogner Atma/cab and Soldano SLO30, I’ll be down to the mini stack, a VickyVerb combo and a Splawn Comp 20/cab. Pedals and guitars are coming next…

So cool!!! When I lived in a bigger place I bought both black and white versions of the 80s mini stacks. I think they look best alternating in a checkerboard pattern for obv reasons lol. (Please excuse the Changus in the foreground, it was a 50th Bday present to my Bestie.)

Both of my amps are not great for me, but I love the cabinets particularly. 

Someone here (maybe Brooks?) swapped a speaker for a 10” Ragin Cajun and ran with a Powerblock and had some rave reviews- would be interested to hear more about that.

And someone else (maybe Stike?) repurposed Marshall mini cabs as shop speakers, which I thought was a super cool idea. Did they swap speakers or use the stock cones? 🤔 

Have you tried the SJ mini head with any different cabs?

Not yet. My amps are at our jam space in San Jose. The Marshall Lead 12 circuit is not known for its stellar tone, but it certainly sounds good enough for playing at home.
