Re: Finally got a Hot Plate!

Actually Modern HI GAIN AMPS are biased pretty cold in thier power sections, this is why they mush out..............heres what EURO TUBES has to say about rectos http://www.eurotubes.com/euro-n.htm

Big +1 there. Marshall has nothing to offer in the high end, low wattage market.

I'm thinking 4 EL84's with a switch that kills two of them for half power. Channel one would do Vox-y clean at low gain and Plexi-ish overdrive at high gain. Channel two would go from JTM crunchiness at low gain up into JCM 800 territory at high gain. Give each channel its own EQ and volume, and throw in a switchable parallel loop. Offer it as a head or a 1x12 ported closed back combo. I'd definitely be interested in that, and I'm sure lots of other people would too.

There's something almost like that and it's my Fargen Epic 30 DC. 30w of EL-84 goodness with a built in half power switch. 1st channel is a Vox AC-30, 2nd channel is a Marshall JTM-45. No effects loops, but each channel has its own EQ and volume. The Marshall side doesn't get super gainy, but if you want a modded Marshall type overdrive, throw a clean boost into it and you'll get all the gain and sustain you could realistically want for rock.
