Very plexi-like by all accounts.

You need to find Plexi Palace Forum. I don't have the URL anymore,But if google it you may find it. There are a few fellas over there in the know about the Super Groups.

Re: Laney's SuperGroup
A bit darker, perhaps a tad more open sounding, the Partridge iron likely has a bit to do with that. pushes over 600 on the plates, so you gotta tube em wisely. I would LOVE to own one. A couple here in town that I drool over everytimg I see them.

Re: Laney's SuperGroup
In town ??? where is your town, and I am curious how much are they going for, I've been to PlexiPalace forum, it is pretty slow, I did not find any soundclips there. That patridge chip, heard quite a bit about and how it was the main thing behind SuperGroup's tone/Iommi's darktone. Are they still being made ? Do AORs have them too, to me my sounds dark but if I can make it in to a SuperGroups on roids(patridge with AORs preamp gain) I would love to try.

About every month one or two come up on Ebay but they are mostly in the UK.
Here are some examples.

Maaaan .... do you think the thing is in as good of a condition as the guys says ... even with shipping to the U.S. its still might come under $1000. .... if only I did not have other stuff that I need to do/get first ... I would assume SuperGroup does not have EFX loop ?
what about my patridgechip question ???
Thanks Dudes.

Re: Laney's SuperGroup
I am in Minneapolis, prices are 1200 to 1500 for each of them...if I recall.... A bit too high.
The AOR and early Laney SG really are not similiar voiced amps. The Partridge transformers have a lovely sound. I have a late 60s Kelly head with Partridge iron and it has an open character coupled with a really nice fullness that I love. The AOR was built to be an 800 clone with a couple eq tricks where as the 60s Laneys were very much their own amp. Stock, I don't think my AOR came anywhere close to any of my non master heads. After I changed several cap values and lowered the filtering on it, I ended up with an amp I really dug. More open and natural sounding.... If you are inclined to mess with your Laney, I would throw one or two 12At7s in the mix, and go for a pre tube with a darker tone. Can really do wonders for that amp.

Re: Laney's SuperGroup
I second the motion. 12AT7's seem to be the key with the AOR. It is one way of getting that gain down. I have them in P2 & P3 of mine.
