Re: Slash's tone: a2pro or amp
Tenniso, I AB the Recti with a 212 Blues Deville (for clean) so I'm a little familiar with it. The power amp runs at 60 watts not the usual 50 so there's a little more push there than the 800. I have a high gain pre tube but the JCM 800 preamp circuit is much more sensitive.
I plugged in my Digitech 2101 (4 gain stages) tube preamp in to the effects loop return the other day. I used to use it as the preamp and effects section for the Recti and some how migrated to using 2 amps ABed (had some pedals I wanted to check out or something) so it wasn't like taking one at the music store for a spin, I got 90 patches programmed and the Blues Deville never sounded better (I had never tried it before and it is staying).
No Fender or Mesa will give you that Marshall air core output transformer tone (unless it has a Marshall xformer in it), the woman tone, but you can pick up a 2101 on eBay for $300 used.
Better yet the Fender reverb works and can be controlled by the beringer foot pedal that you would need to replace that piece of junk pedal that comes with the 2101 (part of the reason I quit using the 2101).
I'm not talking a fuzzbox here...the 2101 or any of it's predecessors replaces the whole preamp...the only knob on the amp that works is the reverb.
