It's actually a J-Retro plate with the Marcus preamp that John East made to order for me and it is sweet. From John East's info the J-Retro has the following EQ: Treble: +12db@3kHz, -12db@1kHz Bright: +8db@7kHz Bass: +15db@50Hz Mid/Frequency: +/-12db 150Hz-3kHz The Marcus Retro has the following EQ: Treble: [email protected], -12db@1kHz Bright: +8db@7kHz Bass: +15db@40Hz Mid/Frequency: +/-12db 150Hz-3kHz I'm lovin' it right now.
