Re: Best Marshall in a Box.........
This chronic cheapskate wholeheartedly agrees with you. I've tried for years to get a Marshall tone on the cheap, and you're right. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there's nothing like the real thing.
Until I can afford the real thing, though, I'll have to make do with a clone. I picked up a Jet City 50-watt head for about $300, and after swapping for EL34s and tweaking the preamp here and there for a few months, I decided to go all-in and just convert it component for component to a JCM800 2204. I've never been happier with my tone.
