Thunderthumbs Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Has anyone put an East Marcus Retro in their Fender Marcus Miller? If so, has it made an improvement worth spending the cash? I love the sound of mine, but was just interested if anyone's done it, and what the differences were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brooks Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yes, had it done to mine back in April 2005 and it's been fantastic, no complaints at all. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brooks Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Quite a lot, still have a useable passive tone but the Fender circuit was so brittle sounding, I just didn't think it was very useable and I still don't think Fender know how to make a decent active circuit. The East circuit just gives you a really broad tone shaping palette that really covers everything you could want and having midEQ with a frequency sweep makes a big difference, especially on gigs where your sound gets eaten up. I could go on for several pages but I'm a happy customer and after 3 years if it wasn't working I would have swapped it back by now...and I haven't so deduce from that what you will. Put it this way, if you like the Marcus with the Fender circuit you will love it even more with the East circuit. And I'm not a salesman for John either!!

It's a very good preamp and sounds a ton better that the stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
