Marshall pilot lamps
« on: May 09, 2010, 12:38:23 am »
Which do you prefer, the 6V or the 120V lamp? I am guessing the 120V is neon and lasts longer?

I like the 120v. The pilot is usually sitting very near the power switch so wiring is minimal, neat, and easy.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Are they interchangeable: do they both fit in the same hole?

I've never actually seen a Marshall amp, so I don't know if their 6v and 120v pilots are the same size. AES sells the square ones that look like they may fit the same size round hole.

Yes. Same diameter.

Thanks, I will order the 120V. It's gotta be neon.
