Marshall gurus give me some guidance
Regardless, the tubes have made a difference IME. From what I can tell, V1 is the tone stack, V2 is the reverb and effects loop and V3 is the PI.
The SL-X has been mentioned and that's a good one too. All of the clipping is tube driven. There's 4 pre-amp tubes instead of 3. Compared to the MkIII, it's got a bit more drive to it but at the same time, with the wrong tubes it can go to mush real quick.
In my MkIII, I'm running JJ's in the preamp and EH in the power amp. Sovteks were too noisy and EH's too brittle. The JJ's are just perfect for it.
