I've heard the new Marshalls these days aren't as good as they used to be and companies made cheaper and better quality clones of marshall amps.
name some
 
Re: Marshall amp clones

Ceria has some clones of Marshall, Vox, Matchless, and Fender amps. I haven't hear them in action, but they are not too expensive. They are available as kits or complete.

Also check out Frenzel. They have a bunch of models available, which are variations of the same famous amps. My head is a late '50s Bassman copy, which was built by Jim Frenzel. The prices have gone up a little since I got mine, but they are getting more and more popular.

Re: Marshall amp clones

If you want "cheap," look into the Peavey Windsor. When they hit the used market, you might be able to find the heads for $300-$350. 4 EL-34's.

I still think a used DSL50 is a good buy, if you can find one from $600-$800.

Isn't the Edana 45 based on a JTM or something, i cant remember, thats one bitchin amp though, i love the Irish flag tolex.
Its such a good deal for 950, beats any marshall reissue.

Re: Marshall amp clones

Yes indeed. The Edana is based on the venerable and smokin JTM-45 circuit. Great sounding peice of kit right thar. Does everything from Peter Green to Angus Young tones with the right speakers (G12H30's).

Here's mine.

The cherry head enclosure costs a bit more, but it's worth it IMHO.
 
Re: Marshall amp clones

I would sya you should reserve judgement til you hear the new Marshall JVM and Vintage Modern amps.

For clones, I was impressed with a Fargen I tried once. Blockheads are killer. I haven't played a Germino, but I heard great reviews.
